What was the complete name of Charles Darwin's famous book?

"On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life)"


Darwin was a racist and his theories led to the Holocaust.

@Allelse Shows how little you know.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 Yep yep, and the lizard people shot Kennedy.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Allelse Still showing your ignorance? You must be proud of it.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 Do you also think the earth is flat?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Allelse No do you? Are you showing your ignorance again? Maybe you should stop before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.

@hippyjoe1955 Do you also think they faked the moon landing and that someday they're going to fake the Mars landing?

@Allelse Still showing your ignorance? Wow. How deep a hole you want to dig for yourself? Do you need an excavator?

@hippyjoe1955 Do you think they're going to fake a Jupiter landing too? You know, just to show those Russians who's boss.

@Allelse Your ignorance is outstanding. Maybe you should do a bit of studying before you make even a bigger fool of yourself. You don't know that nazis believed in the superiority of one race over another?
Allelse · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 So hang on, you dont think the lizard people will fake a Jupiter landing?
Reverend · M
@Allelse i think they faked the moon landing
Allelse · 36-40, M
@Reverend And then they're going to fake the Mars landing?
Reverend · M
@Allelse if they havent made a conclusive video of a moon landing what makes you think there will be a real mars landing? A heck of a lot of wind on the moon with no gravity eh?
Allelse · 36-40, M
@Reverend And then they can fake the Saturn landing!! That'll show those damn Russians.
Reverend · M
@Allelse absolutely!

@hippyjoe1955 [quote] You don't know that nazis believed in the superiority of one race over another[/quote]

And so did Roosevelt, Keynes, Churchill, Pauling, Helen Keller and many others. The slave trade was based on the belief in the superiority of the "white race".

But this all originated before Darwin. Of course, his ideas were twisted into so called Social Darwinism in an effort to give already established biases a hint of scientific validity. If Darwin had never developed his theory, we would still have racism.

@Bushranger Yes they were all progressives. However Socialist Hitler acted on the ideas that Darwin promulgated. In fact there was a mass slaughter of blacks in Africa by some of the most famous Nazis' fathers. They too were following Darwin's theory. Darwin was a racist and his theory helped cause one of the major death events in the 20th century. Of course it was not the only theory that went into the Nazi killing spree Nietzsche helped too. However it should be noted that Darwin's greatest acceptance was by German biologists prior to WWII. Coincidence?

@hippyjoe1955 Eugenics has a very long history, but it's modern form began in England and spread to much of Europe and America fairly quickly. It doesn't take long to find information about it online, particularly in regard to forced sterilisation in the US, Canada, etc. Yes, Hitler took it a lot further, but he wasn't the only leader of the time who wanted to rid the world of the "inferior races,"

Given that most of the people who supported eugenics in the rest of Europe and the Americas identified as Christians, the same argument you make against Darwin could be made against Christianity.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Bushranger Most Europeans believed Darwin.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@hippyjoe1955 And identified as Christians. What's your point?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Bushranger Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, What they call themselves is completely unimportant. The eugenics and racial purity had its justification in Darwin's theory and both are evil.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@hippyjoe1955 OK, I've had enough fun playing with you for today. Have a good night.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 Rubbish.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Allelse Anything you post is rubbish.

@hippyjoe1955 Do you believe that the 7 headed dragon is coming to take over the world tomorrow?
