Creationism/Evolution Title: Darwinism and Racism • Darwinian evolution is inherently a racist philosophy, teaching that different groups or races evolved at different times and rates, so some groups are more like their ape-like ancestors than others.[14] • Before Darwinian evolution was popularized, when most people talked about "races," they were referring to such groups as the "English race," "Irish race," etc.[14] • Robert N. Proctor (Racial Hygiene: Medicine Under the Nazis [1988]) observed: "Prior to Darwin, it was difficult to argue against the Judeo-Christian conception of the unity of man, based on the single creation of Adam and Eve. Darwin 's theory suggested that humans had evolved over hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, and that the races of men had diverged while adapting to the particularities of local conditions. The impact of Darwin's theory was enormous."[17] • Darwin spoke of the "gorilla" and the "Negro" [sic] as occupying evolutionary positions between the "Baboon" and the "civilized races of man" ("Caucasian"); viz: At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes ... will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the Negro [sic] or Australian and the gorilla.[49, 3] • Despite his hatred of slavery, Darwin's writings reek with all kinds of contempt for "primitive" people.[17] • Thomas Huxley wrote: "No rational man, cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro (sic) is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man. And if this be true, it is simply incredible that, when all his disabilities are removed, and our prognathous relative has a fair field and no favor, as well as no oppressor, he will be able to compete successively with his bigger-brained and smaller-jawed rival, in a contest which is to be carried on by thoughts and not by bites." (Lay Sermons, Addresses, and Reviews, 1871)[17] • Many of the early evolutionists were outspoken racists, and racial inferiority views were assumed to be proven, and thus were less a subject of debate or concern than one today would assume.[17] • "Eugenics" Defined • Sir Francis Galton, founder of the eugenics movement, believed very strongly that intelligence was mainly hereditary. He was also convinced there were profound differences in mental ability between the races. He regarded Negroes as barely human at all.[17] • Robert Chambers in his classic Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, concluded that Blacks were "at the foot of" the Mongol, the Yellow race between, and Caucasians at the top. Chambers himself taught that the "various races of mankind, are simply . . . stages in the development of the highest or Caucasian type. . ." and that the Blacks were the least developed, and the Caucasians were the highest, most evolved race.[17] • Although support for Darwin's theory was by no means universal, by the 1920s textbooks such as George William Hunter's 1914 Civic Biology that supported the idea that man had evolved from a lower life form, were prevalent in public schools. The message provided fuel to the growing eugenics movement in the United States. It concluded that as man descended from a lower life form, he evolved to varying degrees of accomplishment.[17] • Eugenics took root in America in the early twentieth century — some 33 states adopted forced sterilization programs to prevent the "feeble-minded" and other "defectives" from reproducing.[59] • Henry Fairfield Osborn, professor of biology and zoology at Columbia University from 1908-1933 and President of the American Museum of Natural History's Board of Trustees wrote: "The Negroid stock is even more ancient than the Caucasian and Mongolians, as may be proved by an examination not only of the brain, of the hair, of the bodily characteristics . . . but of the instincts, the intelligence. The standard of intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the eleven-year-old-youth of the species Homo Sapiens."[3] • In evolutionary theory, the survival advantage factor is the chief explanation for the existence of most differences. Because these differences result from the survival advantage that they confer upon an organism, an evolutionist must assume differences between or within a group likely exist because they provide some inherent survival advantage for the animal. Since the key survival advantage of humankind over "lower animals" is intelligence, consequently differences in this trait likely also exist between the races. This is exactly what has been assumed by many eugenicists, evolutionists, sociologists, and psychologists, both before and since the time of Darwin. This conclusion has justified a wide variety of governmental and scientific policies, not the least infamous were racial genocide programs.[17] • The two races most often compared are the "Caucasian" and "Negroid," now commonly called the "white" and "black" races. The dominant western cultural ethos, that whites were "superior"' and blacks "inferior"' and more "ape-like," was commonly reflected in science books published from 1880 and 1980.[17] • H. Klaatsch, a prominent German evolutionist, concluded that human races differ not only because of survival factors, but also for the reason that they evolved from different primates. The Blacks came from the gorillas, the Whites from the chimpanzees, and the Orientals from the orangutans, and it is for this reason that some races are superior. He concluded that "the gorilla and the Neanderthal man" have a close biological affinity to "a large number of the living African blacks . . ."[17] • In the 1920s, an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica, under the heading "Negro", said that the inherent mental inferiority of the blacks was even more marked than their physical differences and that no full blooded Negro has ever been distinguished as a man of science, a poet, or an artist.[17] • M. L. Moser (The Case Against Integration, 1974) says, "... American Negroes that have made contributions to various fields, sports, science, etc., but ... It is only that Negro that has a mixture of white genes in his system that has risen to the level where he has produced on the level with the white race."[17] • The racism which developed from the theory of evolution was by no means confined to Blacks. One of the leading American eugenicists, Charles Davenport, founder and director of the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Biological Laboratory, concluded that Black Americans were below Caucasians-but so were several other groups. Among the groups that he included were 'the Poles, the Irish, the Italians, and . . . the Hebrews' and even the Serbians, Greeks, Swedes, and Bohemians.[17] • Mark H. Haller (Eugenics: Hereditarian Attitudes in American Thought, 1984) writes: "[T]o understand attitudes of racial inferiority in the context of nineteenth-century science and social science is a first step in fathoming the depth of race prejudice in our own day. Inferiority was at the very foundation of their evolutionary framework and, remaining there, rose to the pinnacle of "truth " with the myth of scientific certainty. To see racial prejudices in their scientific robes is to understand why attitudes of racial inferiority have continued to plague western culture."[17] • At the US 1923 immigration hearings "many witnesses argued that "biology"' demanded the exclusion of most members of the Eastern and Southern European "races." "The primary reason for the restriction of the alien stream . . . is the necessity for purifying and keeping pure the blood of America."[17] • The result was that in April 1924 the immigration act was passed by overwhelming majorities in both the house and senate. President Calvin Coolidge supported the law, stating that, "America must be kept American. Biological laws show . . . that Nordics deteriorate when mixed with other races."[17] • ADOLPH HITLER USED EVOLUTION AS HIS JUSTIFICATION FOR THE HOLOCAUST. • Planned Parenthood Federation of America (See Abortion section) was started by a racist, Margaret Sanger, who drew upon writings from socialists and eugenicists. She even published articles from Adolf Hitler's director of eugenic sterilization, Ernst Rudin, and spawned "The Negro Project," her strategy for eliminating the black population.[65] She believed in removing what she called "the dead weight of human waste." [59] In the last week of July 2002, a lawyer in Missouri filed a federal lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for their failure to fully inform women about abortion. The lawyer also argued that Planned Parenthood is a racist organization that targets minority women.[65] • Natural Selection and the Columbine Killings • Alfred Russell Wallace , one of the few 19th century non-racists, believed that the differences in behavior found between the black and white races, contrary to the conclusions of evolutionists around him, were because of cultural conditioning which "can integrate the rudest savage into our own most courtly life."[17] • Today, all human beings in the world today, are classified as Homo Sapiens and scientists now admit that, biologically, there really is only one race of humans.[14] • An ABC News science page stated, "More and more scientists find that the differences that set us apart are cultural, not racial. Some even say that the word 'race' should be abandoned because it's meaningless."[14] • The Bible does not even use the word "race" in reference to people, but does describe all human beings as being of "one blood" (Acts 17:26)[14] • Scientists found that if any two people from anywhere in the world were compared, the basic genetic differences between these two would typically be around 0.2 percent - even if they came from the same people group.[14] • So-called "racial" characteristics that many think are major differences (skin color, eye shape, etc.) account for only 6 percent of this 0.2 percent variation, which amounts to a mere 0.012 percent difference generically. In other words, the so-called "racial" differences are absolutely trivial.[14] • Recent IQ tests of people throughout the world have found that, with allowance for cultural differences, the IQ ranges of all extant identified races is extremely close. The pygmy population of Africa, supposedly the most backward race extant today, test close to average when acclimated to Western life. Few differences are found between the second and third generation pygmies living in large Australian cities who are acclimated to the established European population.[17] • It is now widely accepted that, given equality of background and similarity of experiences, blacks as a whole closely equal whites in across the-board performance. This confirms prominent anthropologist, Ruth Benedict's early conclusion that "the most careful investigation" shows there is no significant difference between the scores of blacks and whites, even though it is difficult to control for the accumulative effects of deprivation.[17] • Most studies also find that Orientals and Jews score about ten points higher than Europeans. Reasons other than innate differences are often found to account for this difference, and few scientists now accept the view that genetic differences can account for the level found.[17] • Recently, in Louisiana, African American State Representative Sharon Weston Broome charged that, "Darwin's ideas on how humans evolved are racist and the key reason for race problems [and] provide the main rationale for racism." As Broome logically concluded, "If evolution has provided the main rationale for racism, and we are teaching our children evolution in schools, then correspondingly we are teaching them racist principles."[7]

Ever notice that it is the liberals/commies/democrats who mostly champion evilution? That it was also the democrats who were the pro slave party. That it was the democrats who had a KKK senator. It is a racist ideology.
Creationists are,by definition,superstitious fools.

Pete. How did bees and flowers come about? Which first? Pete how did grass come about and spread? Creation is the only logical answer. Evilution is for evil losers how hate good.
Pete. How did bees and flowers come about? Which first? Pete how did grass come about and spread? Beats me. How did God come about? Creation is the only logical answer. Really? Then maybe you can give me a logical answer for the question "Who created God?"?

God always existed.
See you in Hell...from Heaven
That's just not possible following Creationist logic,which has God MUST exist because somebody HAD to create everything in the universe as it's basis it is proof that God MUST exist. If you accept that God has always existed,why can't you accept that these other things always existed? BTW,I know you can't prove your case and I am not really interested in even changing your mind,never mind "proving" you are wrong. I am just pointing out the circular logic used to "prove" something unprovable. The FACT is that God exists only as a article of faith for those who believe,and his/hers/its/whatevers exisence can NOT be proven. If you believe,you believe. If you don't,you don't. BTW-2,evolution as the explanation for all living and non-living things in the universe can't be proven,either. It is just the most likely explanation for those who need or want more than mere faith. There can be NO doubt that things and people have evolved over time,though. Science just can't prove beyond all reasonable doubt that evolution is the sole answer to the question "How did everything in the universe come to be?".

I'll bet it makes you feel "special" to write that,doesn't it? And I don't mean "special" as in the "Special Education Classes" you took in school. Get wood while thinking of it?
