So should we follow the science or should we not follow the science? I’m confused.
Theory means something new today. It used to deal with science.
This (and some of the replies on here) shows a fundamental lack of understanding about natural selection and what it’s really about. First of all, there’s nothing prescriptive about it; it’s completely descriptive. That is, there is nothing in evolution about how we SHOULD run society; it’s only a description of what happens in populations of organisms.
Secondly, in evolution, success is not measured by wealth, intelligence, influence on society, or any other measure we think of as success. Successful organisms are those that reproduce more than others. The person living in a trailer park with 12 kids is more successful than the childless billionaire. The pro athlete with 12 kids to 12 different baby mommas is highly successful. The married couple with two children, much less so. Remember the first point - descriptive, not prescriptive before arguing that this is a poor measure of success. Evolution is trying to explain how traits become dominant in a population, not how we should run our society.
Finally, even if you do choose to base society on evolutionary theory, it still doesn’t lead to promoting genetic homogeneity, but rather promoting genetic diversity. The most successful organisms are ones that stay alive and keep reproducing. Genetic diversity is the safeguard against extinction. Extinction usually occurs as a result of environmental change. If a population lacks genetic diversity, an unfavorable environmental change likely will lead to extinction. If there’s a significant minority of the population with traits that will allow adaptation to the new environment, the species will survive, and those traits will become dominant. Race is almost completely insignificant in evolutionary terms - there is little actual genetic difference between humans of different races, but the point is that actual evolutionary theory, as opposed to the misinterpretations of it in promotion of an agenda, points us toward promotion of diversity, not white supremacy.
Hmmm. Darwinism justifies male superiority, but so does the Bible, right? So what else is there? The Koran? /smirk
On the contrary, consider the evolutionary changes shown between human females and their ancestors vs human males and their ancestors. Human females show vastly more evolutionary changes. Extra-muscular breasts, subcutaneous fat layer, drastic puberty changes, head hair which never stops growing.... It becomes clear that the females of the species are the important evolutionary links. Humans require a much higher level of nurturing for a longer portion of our lifespans than any other animal. Women are the vessels of adaptation to filling this requirement.
It totally debunks the premise of these idiots.
Don’t mess with Darwin... or else! THIS will be interesting!
The ‘origin of species’ is the Liberals’ bible..... it’s untouchable!!
Darwin’s bones rest beneath the north choir floor of Westminster Abbey, making it tough to deface his grave. Perhaps there’s a statue of him somewhere that the usual crowd of perpetually aggrieved suspects can tear down. :-)
The basis of natural selection is that those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive. That can be a better set of lungs to the right political stance consistent with the remainder of society. Acts have consequences, good and bad. Advantages are created by humans, not inborn. The only thing that God gives to any human is the opportunity to life. Everything else is environmental and choice. (And sometimes raw luck)

Darwin is the reason Africa is viewed as the cradle of humanity, so, this is funny.
My point was that at Darwin’s time the differences in technological advancement between Europe and most of the world were stunning; there was no way people could avoid attributing that to racial issues.
England made more of an effort to bring other races up to their level; it is shown in the relative development of their colonies post-independence compared to those of France, Portugal, Holland, even Spain.
Don’t like Darwin?
Suggestion, go develop your own Theory of Natural Selection and publish that, Chumps.
