re: #282 Noam Chumpski

Thank God I’m not a creationist; you fellas might just hunt me down…

I never cease to be amazed that, judging from these comment threads, everyone who attacks Darwin or evolution is “not a creationist”. Even the ones who spout talking points that are exact mirrors of those found on creationist or I.D. websites.

Maybe we really DON’T have anything to worry about guys, cuz apparently no one who attacks Darwin is, in fact, a creationist./sarc

I’m just curious, if one isn’t a creationist, yet attacks Darwin or evolution…what the heck other alternative is there?

Noam Chumpski, you display a marked ignorance of the perceptions of race during the time of Darwin. The views of many far more recent revered historical icons, such as those of Winston Churchill in his book “The River War” display passages we would consider racist in this day and age. Charles is correct that it is only in the last century that mankind has really even TRIED to address the issue of racism…so to single out Darwin for a failing shared by the preponderance of learned men of his time is ludicrous.
