As the article itself explains, the opinions attributed to Darwin simply show that he was a man of his time.

Could be, but when one's faith in evolution was first preached by Darwin and since he tried to show that whites were the most intelligent, you should beware his evol theology. All he did was change God's descent with modification into the filthy word "evolution". Since then, his followers have begun teaching our children, that they are nothing but evolved Apes, instead of God's children. It makes it easier for people like Hitler to murder them since they are little more than dogs, unless they are part of some personal ethnic elite group.

History disagrees with you on that.

Not so since History shows that ALL traits of modern Humans first appeared just SW of Lake Van, Turkey, where the Ark arrived bringing Human intelligence to this planet of the descendants of the common ancestor of Apes. Map: Fertile Cresent, 9000 to 4500 BCE

For one thing, we know that pale skin among our species came about over 10,000 years after the last Neanderthal and Denisovan died.

Was Darwin correct in thinking that whites/pale skin were more intelligent than other groups?

Thus, hybridizing with them is not how our species attained all its color variations. Additionally, we continue to experience mutations in various aspects of our physiology, and genetic drift varies heavily from country to country.

It's called descent with modification within His (Jesus) kinds no matter how many godless evolutionists tell you that it's evolution. Amen?

Way off the mark. As I noted in my prior post: "Darwin's family for at least three generations and Darwin himself were significant players in abolotionist movement. Describing Darwin as a racist is the logical equivalent of describing Hitler as a humanitarian!"
For a comprehensive dismissal of the notion he was racist I recommend a reading of Darwin's Sacred Cause by Adrian Desmond and James Moore. This deeply researched work is thoroughly convincing.
I wasn't claiming that he was racist, only commenting that it would be neither shocking nor significant if he was, given the time period he lived in.

-_- pale skin originated in Europe, dude. Heck, the first humans to arrive in Europe were pretty dark skinned, as we can tell from corpses, and light skin first shows up in the Northernmost parts of Europe. Nowhere near Lake Van.

Source for your claim that he thought that?

Also, since he never brought such a thing up in his academic work, why would it matter if he did?

That's not an official term, and kinds is so ambiguous I've heard it be as broad as the order level of classification and as specific as subspecies.

It's simple since there are but 2 kinds. His kinds are every kind which lives and dies, which includes us all. John 1:3 In order to be one of Their kinds, one MUST be born again by the Trinity. Gen 1:26 Gen 5:1-2 and John 14:16 It's really simple. Their kinds (Trinity kinds) are Eternal and His kinds (Jesus kinds) are temporary and subject to death.

IOW, it's simply a classification of the dead and of the living. Those who have been born Spiritually by the Trinity are the living. Eve is the Mother of ALL living since she was the FIRST to be born again. Gen 3:20

No - whatever Darwin's opinions were (and I suspect your sources are biased), his theory of evolution is testable, has been tested in many different ways, has not been falsified, and has been developed into a theory of enormous scope and explanatory power. We are indeed evolved apes, regardless of your god beliefs.

It makes it easier for people like Hitler to murder them since they are little more than dogs, unless they are part of some personal ethnic elite group.
I see little moral difference between genocide as a result of dehumanizing the out-group, and genocide as a result of stereotyping them as not being 'God's children'. Religious or secular, it's equally abhorrent and inexcusable.

False, since evolutionists changed descent with modification into the filthy word "evolution" in an attempt to eliminate God from His creation. This decision will soon be overturned and it's promoters will receive their increased punishment, according to Jesus. Mat 18:6 Mar 9:42 Luk 17:2 Something worse than hell awaits them.

Evolution is just a word; it has nothing to do with God beliefs.

Oooh, scary! :rolleyes:

Evolution is a godless word designed to promote Humanism above God's Holy Word. Those who wish to post the truth don't call God a Liar and reject the untrue, incomplete, unsupportable Lies of those who have Faith in godless evolution. Reminds me of Trump.

Evolution is certainly godless, but the theory is an explanation of the empirical observations; it has no agenda to promote anything, let alone Humanism (really, Humanism?), and - being godless - makes no reference to God :doh:

People that don't believe in God won't call it a liar, nor will those that do believe in God. It sounds like you're trying to manufacture things to be offended by.

Reminds me of Trump.
You're hearing your own hyperbolic rhetoric. It's not out there in the real world, you're making it up.

Amen, like other scientific theories, it rejects God's Truth in Genesis.

The entire theory is incomplete since its premise, falsely assumes that life began on planet Earth. From there, it goes downhill and tries to explain the fact that all living creatures come from a common ancestor of their "kinds". Humanism tries to give all credit to mortal Humans while rejecting God's Truth.

Nope; it ignores all but empirical evidence.

The ToE says nothing about the origin of life - it deals only with explaining the diversity of, and relationships between, living things. There is, as yet, no theory on the origin of life.

If you're going to criticise a theory, it helps to know what that theory is about.

How convenient. Life magically springs into being and godless evolution worshipers presume it was just there and then it begins force teaching its ignorance, as fact to our children. In the same class it theorizes that we MUST have come from Apes. Such willing ignorance will be revealed by the Scoffers of the last days, according to ll Peter 3:3-7.

There is, as yet, no theory on the origin of life.

False, as this view shows. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/.../behold-luca-last-universal-common-ancestor-life...Wild guesses seem to a part of the Evol Religion.
