Creationism's error of condemnation

CREATION-SCIENCE HOLDS THAT
THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAN’S
CRUELTY AND EXPLOITATION OF
HIS FELLOW MAN
(examples being mis-treatment of Australian aboriginees,
and of course Communism Nazism, Freudianism, etc.
which reveal what happens when all’s held to be
determined by chance, then supremacy-survival)


WHAT [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]!!

First, throughout the history of man, there has been an almost universal belief in “greater-powers”, originally gods, God (monotheism). Throughout that history of man held accountable to the “divine”, the cruelty and carnage has been almost non-stop.
Second, in recent times but well before Darwin . . . back in those hallowed, holied, Bibled God-ful days before evolution’s heresy turned mankind pinko and Nazi and racist . . . . .

Sufficient attention has not been paid to the difference
between slavery such as we have kept it in our colonies
and slavery as it was generally established among the
ancients. A white slave, in ancient times, had no other cause
of humiliation than his present lot; if he was freed, he could
mix straightway with free men and become their equal . . . .
But in the present case, it is not only the slave who is beneath
his master, it is the Negro who is beneath the white man. No act
of enfranchisement can efface this unfortunate distinction.
(Marquis deChastellux, Travels in North America the years 1780,1,2 -- quoted
in Walkin’ the Line, Ecenbarger, Evans & Co., N. Y. p.117)

“The manumission of slaves began on Maryland’s Eastern shore in the early nineteenth century , and a free black community developed in Snow Hill [Maryland]. As it grew and thrived, whites became alarmed by the increased numbers of freemen, especially because it belied the cherished theory that black could not survive outside the institution of slavery. These blacks owned property and held jobs, many of them worked as oystermen. But in 1835 the Maryland legislature passed a law that said only whites could navigate any vessel working in state waters. This effectively removed the blacks from the oyster industry (Ecenbarger, op. cit. p31).
You can bet none of the white oystermen based their consternation, nor the court its decision on Evolution Theory’s endorsement, so to speak, of the unfettered supremacy of the fittest. The Maryland whites were all Bible reading Christians (or, if Catholic, at least Christian listening to the priest) . . . and they couldn’t have read Darwin because he hadn’t written it yet . . . and likely a lot just couldn’t read.
It was the oyster-income-survival, stupid. And for those god-fearing white Christians, the stupid [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]s were cutting into their profits.

Oh, and the evolutionist infiltration into some black churches away back South in Dixie (long before Darwin) . . “. . some churches would have a piece of wood hanging from the ceiling that was a certain shade of brown. If you were that shade or lighter, you could go in. but if you were darker, you couldn’t worship there.” (Ecenbarger,59)

And, of course, they were Godly men, all those men of the United States Supreme Court (and the most significant proto-evolutionary dynamic was presented by the Bible regarding who slew whom starting with Cain . . . .).
Of course they were Christians. Even roger Brooke Taney, who wrote the majority opinion in the Dred Scott case (vs. Sanford). Negroes are “beings of an inferior order , and altogether unfit to associate with the white race either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights that the white man was bound to respect.” Taney led the court in extending rights and protections to the common man. At least the common white man.
Not evolutionary thought. It was the assumption of the times based on behavioral comparisons, apparent cognitive differences, perhaps a form of rationalization to justify slavery and subjugation of the Negro, and mainly of unevolved ignorance if the pre-Darwinian white mind-set.
The Theory of Evolution may have been cited as causal, or endorsement, of some of man’s ongoing atrocities. But it was merely “complicit” at worst, but primarily just epiphenomenal. For human behavior has been human behavior of cruelty, discrimination, devastation, from long before Origin brought about the addend of Fundamentalist-supremacists.
The "Grace of God" has granted man more
means and miliuex of massacre thru ages . . . .
