1979 H&R edition of Darwin shows racism subtitle

[6days]

There is absolutely nothing intrinsically racist about Darwin's theory of evolution

The 'theory' implied that some 'races' of people were more highly evolved than others. That is why the Nazi's thought they could / should create a master race.

*And while Darwin did have SOME racist views, or views which would be considered racist today , is absolutely no reason to reject evolution .

Yes Darwin did have SOME racist views. For example he said "*The break between man and his nearest allies will then (near future)be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the*negro*or*Australian*and the gorilla "

But unfortunately, too many creationists DO claim that Darwin was a racist and dishonestly use this as an excuse to reject evolution...

False....Darwins ideas are rejected because they contradict God's Word. His Word tells us that all humanity is one blood, *and that we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Christ died for the pygmies...the aborigines. ...as He did for you and me.

and that is why things like slavery and segregation and anti-misogyny laws were all founded on Darwinist theories and used evolution to defend these practices. Oh wait...the implementation and defense of all these things is based in religion. Never mind
