Since we know you are no student of history, which quote mining fool from Uncommon Descent did you get all these mined mangled quotes from again? Ah, we see it was that now disembowled ghost William Dembski that your getting this ID'iot jive from, jesus you keep bringing up the same debunked bullshit time after time,glad to have demolished that phony Berlinsky for you. Darwin on the Irish scienceblogs.com One of his own commentators notes that what he has quoted was not Darwin’s words and views, but those of Galton and Greg, with whom he is disagreeing, and Pat Hayes at Red State Rabble fisks him more properly. But since a critical edition of the Descent of Man, from which this is taken, is now available online, as are all Darwin’s works, there really is no excuse for the stupidity of Dembski, who displays all that is bad about humanity in his mendacity. So let’s look at the actual text, shall we?

The ID talking points memo at the moment seems to be to smear Darwin in an attempt to get people to equate agreement with evolution with Hitler and eugenics and the like. It seems to be working, although the history is against them. But even were Darwin the most morally objectionable individual, the theory of evolution now in play has little reliance on his writings. We no more depend on him than physicists are obliged to adopt Newton’s alchemy or Unitarian views. As it happens, Darwin was an honourable man (as was Malthus, by the way) who did his duty and worked for racial equality, but this matters not to the lying, evil and foolish IDiots.
