My Darwin Slave Challenge

What a thread title.

I have no idea. I've never looked into his opinions on that matter.

I did, and while his moral opinions of it can be easily surmised to be less than approving, he did see it as necessary for survival in certain species of ants.

Now, AV, who wears his ignorance proudly like a badge, will attempt to use that to claim that since evolutionists see no difference whatsoever between humans and ants, therefore Darwin must have been pro-human slavery... and therefore, by association, all "scientists," "evolutionists," and "Darwinists," must be as well... blithely and proudly ignorant that his premise, and indeed every part of his upcoming argument, is faulty.

I could stomach your duplicity, AV... if only you were better at it.

Either that, or you missed post 13.

And yet again, could we leave human slavery out of this?

 

[DawnStar]

... you seriously cannot be this idiotic.

He is a KJV-onlyist. So yes he can.

 

[AirPo]

I read the first question and simply assumed you were speaking of humans. My fault for paying you any attention whatsoever. I'm going to try to quit.

By the time you've opened one of these threads, you've already "lost" the challenge.

[Mobezom]

The challenge is to ignore him? Ooh, that's tough.

 

[durangodawood]

In your opinion, did Darwin approve of slavery?

And I'll say this ahead of time for those of you who think unilaterally:

Just don't assume I'm talking about Homos.

Hint: Polyergus rufescens.

Clearly he disapproved of human slavery.

But its meaningless to ask whether one "approves of" this or that wild animal behavior. Its like asking if I approve of gravity.

Do you approve of ant slavery?

 

[TLK Valentine]

AV1611VET, I demand an apology for your quote mine.
You will NOT use me as a tool to promote your dishonest agenda.

 

[JackRT]

but it must take a special sort of idiot to blindly accept such a blatant falsehood.

I have found that in these forums "special sorts of idiot" are not all that uncommon.

 

[AV1611VET]

AV1611VET, I demand an apology ...

Get in line.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Get in line.

You don't want this, AV -- you have a chance to show some integrity. Don't throw it away this time.

he no care, he give money to site so they no ban him.

Maybe Valentine needs to go back and look at Post 51?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

AV, you find ONE post that talks highly of ants and then you have to twist that to try and say that because two species of ants practice a form of slavery that... seriously, just what point are you trying to make? That we should support slavery because the Bible says that we should do as ants do and two species out of several hundred practice it?

I'm asking your opinion as to whether or not Darwin supported slavery.

When people want to yak and do everything but answer it, this is what you get: mistakes and confusion.

But you don't have to ask our opinion for it because you can just go online and ACTUALLY READ WHETHER DARWIN SUPPORT SLAVERY. This is the SECOND time I've had to say this to you.

Looking through the posts I see that your definition of slavery is "any species that uses another species for a survival benefit". Under that definition, pretty much every single species on earth is either a slave owner or a slave... and often both at the same time.

Darwin ate fruits and vegetables, which are other species used for survival, so I guess he would approve of it based on your definition. He rode horses, he ate meat, so there are additional examples of your slavery and he probably agreed with those as well.

But your definition is so broad and so stupid that I don't see how your challenge is anything more than blather.

What do you think I'm doing online right now???

Except, unlike the articles, I'm having a little trouble getting an answer.

You must have me confused with someone else.

I don't remember saying that.
