Those evil Nazis used their knowledge of chemistry to produce high explosives and poisonous gas, so therefore the Atomic Theory of Chemistry must be scientifically wrong!
Worse than that, those evil Nazis used their knowledge of physics and gravity to aim and drop their bombs, so therefore Newtonian physics and the Theory of Gravity must be scientifically wrong!
How can we teach such blasphemy as chemistry and physics to our children???
Let's say someone drops AFDave into the middle of the Pacific with no raft, into a pack of sharks, to see which is "more evolved". Any bets? |
is a sure indicator that this person has nothing left to say that is substantive ...
this does not help the image of evolution promoters ... |
And by saying this you have completely missed his two points. You suggested that because Hitler allegedly based his racism on Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection that we must, at the very least, regard it with suspicion, or perhaps, ultimately reject it entirely out of hand. This is so fallacious it's infantile.
And if you were dropped into the habitat of a great white shark without any of the fancy technology bequethed to you by the fancy brains of your ancestors would you regard yourself as 'more' evolved or 'less' evolved. Evolution is about fitting envionmental niches. Science uses its own definitions. It is not required to use the ones AFDave wants to fob off on it.
