In my opinion, the two writings: The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life and My Struggles are a two-volume set, written by you-know-who.

You really need to stop flogging that horse. It is deceased. It has left this mortal coil. It is for all intents and purposes dead.

You do know that verse can very easily be turned back against yourself, right?

Absolutely.

All I have to do is start embracing evolution in my doctrine, and I run the risk of becoming an atheist.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Well, do you deny that some of them do have an agenda?

Your own answer to your question didn't answer your question.

I do deny that some of them have an agenda. I deny that a lot a them have an agenda, because I don't pretend to know who they are as a person, and I'm not a wholly suspicious man, either, tell the truth.

 

[AV1611VET]

It just linked to the thread as a whole. Intentional?

Affirmative.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Absolutely.

All I have to do is start embracing evolution in my doctrine, and I run the risk of becoming an atheist.

... that's not a good indictment for the strength of your religious conviction, sad to say.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Affirmative.

Ah, gotcha. ... then you're gonna have to explain that to me, since that honestly did go over my head.

Yes, you are correct here too. The concept of racism as we understand it today (along with a whole lot of the ugly stuff that comes with that) came out of you-know-who's theory.

Sure, but you'd be wrong, per usual.

It's dead alright.

Tell me:

Are the Dead Sea Scrolls the Dead Sea Scrolls? or the Dead Sea Scrolls?

OH PLEASE! The claim that whites were superior to blacks was founded well before Darwin put pen to paper, and even when he was writing his books.

Prior to 1925; creationism was the the only theory of origin of the universe taught in schools in America. The first case to challenge that was the Scopes trial in 1925.

The Scopes trial wasn't about challenging creationism. It was about the fact that teaching human evolution was made illegal in Tennessee and that John Scopes was in violation of that law.

Darwin didn't write "Origin of the Species" until 1859; and ideas of origin outside of a religious context didn't exist until the 1830's. In all the thousands of years of history prior to this; all questions of origin of life were always couched in a religious belief system.

I'm speaking in a modern sense though. Knowledge continuously progresses throughout human history. Creationists have been actively trying to impede that progress, specifically by impeding science education.

The Butler Act in Tennessee (as highlighted by the Scopes trial) is a prime example of that.

Don't care.

Derp, what? Don't you guys worship a god that has has a 'chosen race'? Not to mention good southerners justifying slavery based on their interpretation of Origin... oops, nope, the bible.

Irony intended?

Claiming that Darwin invented modern racism is just sheer desperation talking. I wonder what creationists think they are accomplishing with such ludicrous ideas.

Fun historical fact: Gott mit uns was first used by the Kingdom of Sweden under King Gustavus Adolphus during the 30 Years War and was the battle-cry of the Swedish army at the time.

Yup. Like all internet 'debates': if all else fails, pull the racism card!

By whom though?

Yep, that's what the Nazi's said.

 

[HitchSlap]

Religious people.

Nice.
