Is that what Darwin said in The Preservation of Favoured Races?"Science is racist" is nonsense.
You never fail to get things wrong do you? or are you doing it deliberately?Is that what Darwin said in The Preservation of Favoured Races?
Please highlight in red the word(s) that are wrong.You never fail to get things wrong do you? or are you doing it deliberately?
Yes, I know what he meant by 'favoured races'.'Favoured Races' refers to races of SPECIES and NOT races of people, the HUMAN RACE being just one of many many SPECIES.

If so, would you cite the page number, please?

Nice try, bro; but I would say that, in the eyes of contemptuous scientists, the Indians were nothing more than ignorant, flint-age, tepee-dwelling buffalo herders.
Don't be so pathetic. I've seen you play this game before and I'm not going to play it.
"Grandfather, Great Spirit, you have been always, and before you no one has been. There is no other one to pray to but you. You yourself, everything that you see, everything has been made by you. The star nations all over the universe you have finished [created]." -- Black Elk, medicine man, Black Elk Speaks, August 1930
Yes, I know what he meant by 'favoured races'.
Why so defensive?
Excuse me, that is part of the title of the book, is it not?Because you're being disingenuous in order to make something you disagree with look like something it's not -- and by your own admission, you know it.
Now, perhaps such lying and misrepresentation is part of your "basic doctrine," but most people take offense to it.
It's pathetic, AV -- even for you.
I don't believe in Origins, I believe in Genesis.
And what 'evidence around me' clearly says Genesis 1 didn't happen?Anyone who unquestioningly believes the contents of a book over the evidence of the world around them is just plain stupid.

Fair enough then -- I'll assume you weren't talking about me then.Anyone who unquestioningly believes the contents of a book over the evidence of the world around them is just plain stupid.

All the evidence that shows the world is older than 6000 years, as well you know. Of course, you, AV, are barmy enough to think god made it to look old, like a forger artificially ageing a fake Rembrandt, but as this isn't mentioned in genesis, one struggles to see your justification for believing it other than you are trying desperately to make the bible fit the evidence around you. Which is stupid.
So there's no such thing as murders, muggers, rapists, thieves, kidnappers, extortioners or pick-pockets?In theory there should be no such thing as an adult creationist because common sense should have won through long before they became adults...
Of course these things exist, and were fully sanctioned and encouraged by the god of the OT.So there's no such thing as murders, muggers, rapists, thieves, kidnappers, extortioners or pick-pockets?
Fair enough then -- I'll assume you weren't talking about me then.

You guys do it too, only you use the part, Origin of Species, or Origins, and that is disingenuous as well.
In fact, the whole title is one big lie.
I don't believe in Origins, I believe in Genesis.
Seconded. All in favor, say 'aye.'You know better, AV -- and the saddest part of all is, you know that you know better.
It's just a sad thing to watch, AV -- you used to occasionally post things which would raise some legitimate questions -- granted, such posts were few, far between, and usually inintentional, but they were there.
Look at yourself now -- I mean really, just look at yourself. Continually playing ignorant in order to do -- what, exactly? Do you even know anymore? Does it matter anymore, as long as people pay attention; any kind of attention, to you?
Now the few people who know that you're only playing stupid no longer care -- it's pathetic. You used to be better than this -- not much, granted, but better nonetheless.
It pains me to see what you're doing to yourself -- you have my pity.
That's not what you said before -- go back and look at it:The bottom line is that you believe the bible over the real world, which, as I said, is stupid.
You quietly dropped the "evidence" after I called you on it, didn't you?Anyone who unquestioningly believes the contents of a book over the evidence of the world around them is just plain stupid.
You, Nathan and Split Rock all three together can't explain what I believe -- so I'll just take your ridicule with a modicum of sodium chloride.Of course, you, AV, are barmy enough to think god made it to look old, like a forger artificially ageing a fake Rembrandt...
