Bill's initial post exemplifies what is called "selective" sourcing." Using the proper sequence of sources, carefully selected, one can "prove" that A=Ω. Did and do some racialists and ultranationalists misuse Herder, Darwin, and even the Bible? Yes.
Very well said.
The original post made me think of this photo. I don't believe for a second that all Christians agree with this fellow, while he did back his arguments with biblical quotes and profess his faith in Jesus. At the same time, I don't think Bill actually believes that those who see value in Darwin's work are all racists.
Hi Dialectic,
Thank you for that clarification. I never intended to say that all who follow Darwin's theory of evolution are racist.
What I did say is that Darwin himself, along with his friend, Margaret Sanger, were racist. History supports this. They both felt and taught that all other races were inferior to the caucasian white race -- and they both supported programs of eugenics to weed out the inferior races. While there are many Darwinians who may still believe this way; I was speaking of Darwin.
And, I showed you an example from a school text book stating that the caucasian race is superior. So, this Darwinian concept was being taught in our schools.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
