Since he's back posting:
@Joseph G I have to ask: why do you find a single video from Facebook, with no sources or fact-checking at all that would very much prove that it's a false claim, such a compelling argument to claim that Darwin was a fraud?
I've said all I need to say on this thread. Thanks for asking! Let the debate rage on...

God bless!

But you really didn't. You just posted a question, the video and then ran. You've said nothing.

So I'll ask again: why do you find a single video from Facebook, with no sources or fact-checking at all that would very much prove that it's a false claim, such a compelling argument to claim that Darwin was a fraud?

Since nobody else actually answered. No he wasn't a fraud that stole the idea from someone else. Wallace lived to be 90 and was codiscoverer of evolution from independent voyages. Darwin gets the major credit because he was working on it for a lot longer by the time they co-published Darwin had written a whole book Wallace a short paper that is included in On the Origins of Species.

They were inspired by earlier works, Evolution wasn't a new idea, significant numbers of people before Darwin likely subscribe to similar ideas. They just didn't write much about them other than noting that geological deposits contain different species in different layers.

Please don't answer for someone else and I also know all of this already so this information wasn't needed.

Mankind will worship someone or something.
SO those who refuse God will no doubt worship Taylor Swift or Darwin or the money that brings them all the adictions they love more than their own souls eternital coming realitys. OH YES MANKIND WILL WORSHIP SOMETHING,

And this is a prime example of someone not reading the thread at all.

Faith requires an object.

For us, that object is Jesus Christ.

For all else ... well ... that's where religion comes in.

And they will and are doing the same things they accused us of .. well I got to the point where there is people trying to justify the ignorance of an old racist dude with the integrity of a mushroom roots deep in horsy poop. Maybe they need to worship taylor swift instead .

Darwin being racist isn't the topic of discussion, nor does it impact the theory of evolution, and has been shown in this thread, his integrity was sound because he didn't commit any fraud.

So the claim of ignorance really only falls squarely on you, not him.

Oh but aren't we glad our Lord will forgive us and Darwin for mankind's profound ingorance.

Just because you don't understand it nor agree with it does not mean it's ignorance.

Someone's racism shows a profound lack of judgement , and an inability to see the world in a whole truth. And mostly an inability to question his own conclusions. Meaning finding him ditch he built ,will occur often.

That's a brilliant non-answer.

If he can't understand genetics enough to understand race, what the unholy heck is anyone paying attention to his theories about creations species and even type. His conclusions prove his lack of understanding genetics in always.

The dude was from the age where no-one knew about genetics! What did you expect? But the amazing thing about science is that people can take earlier ideas, along with new information gained, and then build on them. That's how science works!

And science shows that Darwin was, in the fundamentals, correct.
