Kawamura2 ::: Favorites True. As society changes, perception and awareness changes. So you cannot fault Darwin for something that EVERYONE who was white at the time, even if they were not racists per se, ascribed to. 07-08-14 08:54:42 _____________________________________________________
rowsdowersavesus ::: Favorites Well, he would be considered a racist by today's standards. But so would be Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Ghandi, and many others who fought against racism in their day. 07-08-14 07:56:01 _____________________________________________________
Kawamura2 ::: Favorites and the "There is only one" quote i think sums up his theist stance. But great video, I had always heard that Darwin was a racist myself, i never read up on that, i will though. But I never believed that a man who could come up with the theory of evolution could stoop low enough to even be Christian, much less racist. And contrary to popular Christian belief, from what i have heard he was an Atheist. Maybe THAT is what theists really have against him. 07-08-14 04:39:08 _____________________________________________________
Kawamura2 ::: Favorites he can't answer that intelligently because theists don't really know what Atheism or Darwinism/evolution really is. He is just parroting things he has heard other theists say. Bubbagump that is. 07-08-14 04:17:20 _____________________________________________________
rowsdowersavesus ::: Favorites How is atheism a religion? Seriously. Answer me that 07-08-09 14:37:40 _____________________________________________________
bubbagump5791 ::: Favorites It is a religion. Its what you believe in therefore its a religion for the not very bright. 07-08-09 13:43:16 _____________________________________________________

rowsdowersavesus ::: Favorites Did you watch my video, at all? Good job on the quote mining. It is not saying what you said it is. Atheism is not a religion. You're ignorant to think that. 07-08-07 14:38:35 _____________________________________________________
bubbagump5791 ::: Favorites In The Descent of Man, Darwin notes that natural selection seemed to no longer act upon civilized communities in the way it did upon other animals: "We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination...hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed." It seems you have fallen into the trap of most religions, you are not good enough to follow Darwinism.Try looking for the only religion that accepts you as you are. There is only one. 07-08-07 10:53:33 _____________________________________________________

rowsdowersavesus ::: Favorites Well, that's kind of a given, plus TristanPEJ pointed it out. I just wanted to take it down from another angle. 07-08-04 00:04:47 _____________________________________________________
