It is ironic that most of the people who believe in Darwinian evolution are liberal, when Charles Darwins theory is an extremely racial theory;

a racial supremacist theory that was adopted by the elite up until 30-40 years ago when all the racial stuff started getting big in America.

The anglo saxon atheist people who followed him thought that they were the superior race and that they deserved to colonize the whole world because they were the superior race. They got all of that from Charles Darwin. Just read his racial views in Descent of man and you will see.

Not to mention, it is even in the very title of the book origin of species; the sub title is the preservation of the favored races in the struggle for life. No one ever quotes the whole title.

Also notice how the alt right and more intellectually minded race realist white nationalist types always base their "science" of race on evolution. Without evolution, all of their racial ideas collapse. If you believe in Darwinian evolution, you have to believe in a superiority of certain races.

The only way all races can be equal is if God designed them, which He did. And God said in His Word that he hath created all nations of one blood.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. The truth shall set you free.

The full title of Darwin's book is "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" Yes it is racist in intent and was intended to support British Imperialism.

@hippyjoe1955 Darwins theories were about ALL life on earth, not just man. 'Race' meant 'biographical ancestry'.

He was a man of his time, tainted by social standards that prevailed .

As we all can be .

So using the word race, to define gene differences between peoples and times was merely a simplistic term .

And it was a theory , not perfected, not finished, not even fully understood, but still a good basis for scientists to further study and refine.

We would not have the science to make vaccines today , if others had not found his theory worthy enough to research further.

Reading social perceptions into a book that was meant to be scientific , is like reading sprituality into a history book .

Maybe just see it for what it was , a way to explain how life jas gotten to where it is on this planet. 🤷‍♀️

@OogieBoogie Including humans whom he thought were divided in to advanced an primitive races. The white race was the most advanced race and the black race was the least advanced race according to his theory. The blacks of Africa were just one step above the monkeys according to Darwin. That is one of the reasons I don't accept Darwin's theories.

@hippyjoe1955 His book was written 150 years ago .
If you cant see past his poor social conditioning, to see the amazing ideas and concepts that are the base of his theories, then thats your perspective.

I could argue god was not all perfect or good either....he committed genocide, destroyed civilisations, needed sacrafice of blood and let his own kin be tortured . And thats before we even start on natural disasters and disease.

But to understand the essence of something, one has to stand back and look at its key message.

Dividing something into fractured elements, some of which may be imperfect, like man or god, we miss the true benefits of what its trying to teach : understanding .
