I have always been very concerned that Darwinism gave the basic okay to terrible racism and to the idea of murder based upon race.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unfortunately, anti-Darwinism keeps playing minor variations on the same negative themes and adds nothing to our understanding of life.
All the most prominent Darwinists proclaim naturalistic philosophy when they think it safe to do so.
Darwin's idea of natural selection makes people uncomfortable because it reverses the direction of tradition.
I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren't necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.
If you take Darwin's theory and extend it to its logical end, it can be used to justify a number of very horrendous things.
People say I am against Darwin. That is ridiculous.
Throughout evolution, ostracism was death indeed.
My personal feeling is that understanding evolution led me to atheism.
Even when Darwin's teaching first made its appearance, it became clear at once that its scientific, materialist core, its teaching concerning the evolution of living nature, was antagonistic to the idealism that reigned in biology.
I have a strong feeling that the subject of evolution is beautiful without the excuse of creationists needing to be bashed.
