Eugenics was founded on Darwinian principles. The word was coined by Francis Galton, a cousin of Darwin. Eugenics was promoted by the Nazis
"During the Nazi era in Germany, eugenics prompted the sterilisation of several hundred thousand people then helped lead to antisemitic programmes of euthanasia and ultimately, of course, to the death camps." Quote from the National Library of Medicine, 'Eugenics and Human Rights', Prof. Daniel J Kevles.
The Creationist v science argument is a false dichotomy. The question is not whether Creationism is scientific but whether or not it is true. If Creationism is true, then evolution is false.
"Equally evolved"? What does that mean? Some people are born with a stronger physical frame than others, some are more intelligent, some have darker skin, some are prone to baldness, some are shortsighted and so on. "Equally evolved" plainly does not mean everyone is the same. The Bible says that humanity is unique, which it is, and is made in the image of God.
"With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!…" James 3:9 & 10
There is no room for eugenics in God's creation. Darwin was racist and believed in the superiority of some races. This is a logical conclusion from evolution. I agree that Darwin was opposed to slavery. However, he promoted genocide, not exactly a superior philosophy.
'In 1881, toward the end of his life, Charles Darwin wrote to a colleague that the “more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilised races throughout the world.”' (Darwin writing to William Graham 3rd July 1881)
Also, "The Descent of Man" (1871), where he claimed, “At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races." Darwin saw this as a good thing, not evil.
There are many more references to Darwin's racism, which was not unusual for the time. That the Nazis embraced the same philosophy is hardly surprising. What I do find surprising is that Darwin's racist and genocidal attitudes are ignored by much of the scientific community.
It's pretty simple.
You grossly misrepresent Darwin.
And
even if he werimes worse than your
Chick tract cartoon, the science is sound.
Also simple-
Science got it right; creationism is 100% wrong.
Every detail. Zero evidence for any of it.
Few creationists are educated enough to grasp that.
If they were they'd mostly no longer be creationists,
because it's impossible to be an educated yec with integrity.
Integrity matters to some people.
Any educated person knows there's no more place for eugenics in the theory of evolution then there is in church.
And they could explain why. Unlike those who make things up, like " good thing" and "genocidal attitude", and think
that scurrilous attacks on man somehow could invalidate
a theory- a thoroughly uneducated notion, btw.
The ignorant perfer polemics to fact, or else
they'd have some education.
People with education and integrity are in a good position.
They don't need to make things up, when facts are the topic. And they avoid falsehood anyway as a matter of character; the religious ones my also take seriously
words against bearing false witness.
Ignorance is no excuse for falsehoods
No more than there's an excuse for being ignorant here.
By any comparison, the creationists as represented in your post put on a shabby and disgraceful display.
