Again, even if Darwin was a card-carrying KKK member, that changes nothing about the truth or falseness of the theory. Saying evolution is false because Darwin was a racist is like me saying that the Bible is false because Ted Haggard is a homosexual hypocrite. It is an ad hominem attack and a logical fallacy.

If Darwin's book was subtitled "the KKK Manifesto", that would give the perceptive person a clue as to his intent.

I don't think anyone's saying "evolution is false because Darwin was a racist". That evolution is false is demonstrated in other threads. We're looking at the results of widespread acceptance of the teachings of Darwin & the X Club.

"To Compel A Man To Furnish Funds For The Propagation Of Ideas He Disbelieves And Abhors Is Sinful And Tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson

"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
