No offense to Jesus. Edit: For a basic understanding please watch "But evolution is JUST A THEORY!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElyqKDRU4gg interesting series on pseudo-science see: "Why do people laugh at creationists ? Part 22 (Made by ThunderF00t)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68fiHU3BCqw&feature=channel Also I want to note that Johann Friedrich Blumenbach was not racist either. In fact he had a whole library of books that were authored by "Negroes". Charles Darwin and Blumenbach both spoke out against racism and slavery "The anthropological treatises of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach" http://books.google.com/books?id=u9QKAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA57#v=onepage&q=&f=false "And, besides, what has the brain to do with the matter? The human mind is one. The soul is one. In spite of its misfortunes, the African race has had heroes of all kinds. Blumenbach, who has collected everything in its favour, reckons among it the most humane and the bravest men; authors, learned men and poets. He had a library entirely composed of books written by negroes. Our age will doubtless witness the end of an odious traffic." Charles Darwin is not father of eugenics; Herbert Spencer is. The term Social Darwinism could more correctly be labeled social Spencerism http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24714393 "A major influence on the eugenics movement was Herbert Spencer, an English philosopher and prominent political theorist. He is best known as the father of social Darwinism, a school of thought that applied the evolutionist theory of "survival of the fittest"—a phrase coined by Spencer—to human societies." The bellow is from The Mis-portrayal of Darwin as a Racist By R.G. Price June 24, 2006 http://www.rationalrevolution.net/articles/darwin_nazism.htm "There was a growing movement in America shortly before the Civil War, as pressure against slavery was increasing, to justify slavery not just with scripture, but also with so-called "science". At this time, however, most biologists, known then as naturalists, were theologically trained. Biology was still considered to be a Biblically based study of "the creation" before Darwin came along. In 1853 the Frenchman Arthur de Gobineau published An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races, in which he proposed that humans were composed of three races, the most advanced of which was the "Aryan Race". In An Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races Gobineau stated that civilizations collapsed due to race mixing. This work was highly influential in Europe and America and is widely acknowledged today as the foundation of so-called scientific racism. In 1857, one year before Charles Darwin pushed The Origin of Species, Josiah C. Nott and George Gliddon, creationists who argued that science supported the Biblical account of creation, published Indigenous Races of the Earth. Dr. Nott, from South Carolina, had been writing and giving lectures on race for years and his works were highly influential. All of the copies of Indigenous Races of the Earth were pre-sold before they were even printed. The book went on to be published in many languages and was one of the best selling books of the time. An illustration in Indigenous Races of the Earth compared the skulls of "Greeks", "Negroes", and Chimpanzees.. (continued later in article).Nor were black critics the only ones who claimed to see a strong racial component in antievolutionism. The southern white journalist W. J. Cash, who observed the controversy at close range, recalled later, "One of the most stressed notions which went around was that evolution made a Negro as good as a white man-that is, threatened White Supremacy." Although the race question did not arise explicitly in the Scopes trial itself, African American intellectuals believed that the white South was seriously troubled by evolution's destabilizing implications for Anglo-Saxon supremacy. .Scientific progress and the evolutionary hypothesis held particular meanings for the African American elite. Black leaders embraced the racial implications of evolution-the common origins of humanity and the importance of environment as well as heredity-and they believed that evolutionary science itself embodied the spirit of progress that would lift the race higher"
