Charles Darwin may have been a kind, gentle old man who loved pigeons, barnacles and earthworms but he was also a male chauvinist if one can believe Descent of Man, 2nd edition:

“The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shown by man's attaining to higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than can woman whether requiring deep thought, reason, or imagination, or merely the use of the senses or hands.

“In order that a woman should reach the same standard as man, she ought, when nearly adult, be trained to energy and perse-verance, and to have her reason and imagination exercised to the highest point; and then she would probably transmit these qualities chiefly to her adult daughters.”

Not only a RACIST, but a SEXIST. How did the theory of someone so un-pc become so pc?

BTW, if evolution is true, what was wrong with Hitler trying to cull out the unfit?

If evolution is true, what is wrong with sexism or racism? Shouldn't the inferior be subjugated to the superior? If evolution is true, which race is the most evolved? Judging by where humans are supposed to have begun we can tell which race should be the least evolved.

And Martin Luther, the founder of Protestantism, was a rabid anti-Semite. Might it be possible both men were simply children of their times?

Great questions! I am sure your post will be carefully ignored by evolutionists!
