1. Evidence that the science actually is invalid.
Doesn't really matter in this context. I'll split with you, 50/50.
2. That the personal views of the founder(s) and early proponents of the theory have any bearing on the truth or falseness of the theory.
That would appear right on target. working on it.
Martin Luther, the founder of Protestant Christianity was a very vocal anti-Semite. He even wrote an entire pamphlet entitled
The Jews and Their Lies. A great many early protestants were anti-Semitic....purges and pogroms were quite common.
Thank you so very much for that link. accolades truly. I have heard about this piece by Luther for years but have never seen it or read it. I think you are taking it a bit out of context, I only skimmed it but he isn't inciting hate against jews, looks more like complaining to me about them complaining about the christian beliefs in Jesus as the savior, Son of God.
The catholic church and the crowns had pushed the jews all over europe for hundreds of years. Killed many. Not sure the protestants ever participated in the purges... Not that I am aware of. No denying the protestants carried a lot of baggage from so many generations of roman catholic rule though.
there's a good page here about the history of the jews after the destruction of jerusalem, from England to France to Spain etc.
History of the Jews in Russia and the Soviet Unionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Russia_and_the_Soviet_UnionMost jews settled in north eastern europe. Jesus did warn them that Jerusalem would be detroyed and they didn't believe him. It's in the bible, NT. Luther does seem to be reiterating that in the writing, more or less.
I looked back and saw no answers to my questions about how many white slaves were there in the US prior to Darwin's work, if scientists are more racist than regular folk, or if Europeans were more racist than US folk. Of course I would expect some support for any answers that were provided. Maybe you could point out where those questions were answered, or just cut and paste them in your response to me. It would be a great help.
You can easily look up an estimate of how many slaves were in america, in england also. Somewhere around 1.5 million in america (mainland NA USA only) if i remember correctly, Big numbers.
your other questions are silly. figure out what to do with those up yourself.
