In fact, many of the most famous racists of the past 100 years were hardcore Darwinists. Of course this is not always true. For example, there are millions of radical jihadists in the Middle East that hate all Jews and <a href=\"http:\/\/thetruthwins.com\/archives\/how-can-israel-negotiate-peace-with-people-that-are-absolutely-obsessed-with-exterminating-them\">want to wipe them off the face of the planet<\/a>. But in general, if someone has a belief in evolution it is more likely that person will be a racist. You see, if you believe that everyone is created by God and is greatly loved by God, then there are no &#8220;inferior races&#8221;. We are just the &#8220;human race&#8221; made up of individuals that have been created in the image of God and that are exceedingly valuable. The second greatest commandment in the Bible is to love one another, and that leaves no room for racism at all. But if you believe that we are all just a bunch of highly evolved animals, that is a different story altogether. The logical conclusion is that some groups have &#8220;evolved&#8221; at a much slower pace than others and are thus &#8220;inferior&#8221;. This is what Charles Darwin believed, and this is what prominent disciples of Charles Darwin throughout history have believed.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, just consider what Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, believed. She was convinced that sterilizing races that were less &#8220;evolved&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/creation.com\/margaret-sanger-darwinian-eugenicist\">was only rational<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Sanger believed she was \u2018working in accord with the universal law of evolution\u2019. She maintained that the brains of Australian Aborigines were only one step more evolved than chimpanzees and just under blacks, Jews and Italians. When arguing for eugenics, Sanger quoted Darwin as an authority when discussing \u2018natural checks\u2019 of the population, such as war, which helped to reduce the population. Her magazine even argued for \u2018state-sponsored sterilization programs\u2019, forcibly sterilizing the \u2018less capable\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She was a hardcore racist, but this is not publicized by Planned Parenthood today. The following is one of her most disturbing quotes that I shared in one of my <a href=\"http:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/archives\/what-should-be-done-to-a-country-that-kills-56-million-of-its-own-people\">previous articles<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And she focused hard on setting up her &#8220;clinics&#8221; in minority communities. By doing so, she hoped <a href=\"http:\/\/creation.com\/margaret-sanger-darwinian-eugenicist\">&#8220;to stem the rising tide of color&#8221;<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As her organization grew, Sanger set up more clinics in the communities of other \u2018dysgenic races\u2019\u2013such as Blacks and Hispanics. Sanger turned her attention to \u2018Negroes\u2019 in 1929 and opened another clinic in Harlem in 1930. Sanger, \u2018in alliance with eugenicists, and through initiatives such as the Negro Project \u2026 exploited black stereotypes in order to reduce the fertility of African Americans.\u2019 The all-white staff and the sign identifying the clinic as a \u2018research bureau\u2019 raised the suspicions of the black community. They feared that the clinic\u2019s actual goal was to \u2018experiment on and sterilize black people\u2019. Their fears were not unfounded: Sanger once addressed the women\u2019s branch of the Klu Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey, and received a \u2018dozen invitations to speak to similar groups\u2019. Flynn claims that she was on good terms with other racist organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Sanger believed the \u2018Negro district\u2019 was the \u2018headquarters for the criminal element\u2019 and concluded that, as the title of a book by a member of her board proclaimed, The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy, was a rise that had to be stemmed. To deal with the problem of resistance among the black population, Sanger recruited black doctors, nurses, ministers and social workers \u2018in order to gain black patients\u2019 trust\u2019 in order \u2018to limit or even erase the black presence in America\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Today, the U.S. government gives hundreds of millions of dollars to the organization that she founded every single year.<\/p>\n<p>That is absolutely sickening.<\/p>\n<p>Another very prominent racist who was also a hardcore Darwinist was Adolf Hitler. The following are a couple of excerpts from Richard Weikart&#8217;s book entitled &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0230112730\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0230112730&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=theeconomiccollapse-20\">Hitler&#8217;s Ethic: The Nazi Pursuit of Evolutionary Progress<\/a>&#8220;&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In 1938 the Ministry of Education published an official curriculum handbook for the schools. This handbook mandated teaching evolution, including the evolution of human races, which evolved through \u201cselection and elimination.\u201d It stipulated, \u201cThe student must accept as something self-evident this most essential and most important natural law of elimination [of unfit] together with evolution and reproduction.\u201d In the fifth class, teachers were instructed to teach about the \u201cemergence of the primitive human races (in connection with the evolution of animals).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The opening pages explained that the central concepts underlying racial ideology are hard heredity and racial inequality. Then it claimed that racial inequality has come about because evolution proceeds by struggle. Different races simply do not evolve at the same pace, so they are at different levels. The authors then asserted that the three main human races \u2014 European, Mongolian, and Negro \u2014 were subspecies that branched off from a common ancestor about 100,000 years ago. They argued that races evolved through selection and elimination, and the Nordic race became superior because it had to struggle in especially harsh conditions. Throughout this pamphlet the terms \u201chigher evolution,\u201d \u201cstruggle for existence,\u201d and selection are core concepts that occur repeatedly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Are you starting to get the picture?<\/p>\n<p>And almost every major biography of Hitler <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discovery.org\/a\/4679\">acknowledges the same thing<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"bodyText\" id=\"content\">The standard biographies of Hitler almost all point to the influence of Darwinism on their subject. In <i>Hitler: A Study in Tyranny<\/i>, Alan Bullock writes: \u201cThe basis of Hitler\u2019s political beliefs was a crude Darwinism.\u201d What Hitler found objectionable about Christianity was its rejection of Darwin\u2019s theory: \u201cIts teaching, he declared, was a rebellion against the natural law of selection by struggle and the survival of the fittest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>John Toland\u2019s <i>Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography<\/i> says this of Hitler\u2019s Second Book published in 1928: \u201cAn essential of Hitler\u2019s conclusions in this book was the conviction drawn from Darwin that might makes right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his biography, <i>Hitler: 1889-1936: Hubris<\/i>, Ian Kershaw explains that \u201ccrude social-Darwinism\u201d gave Hitler \u201chis entire political \u2018world-view.\u2019 \u201d Hitler, like lots of other Europeans and Americans of his day, saw Darwinism as offering a total picture of social reality. This view called \u201csocial Darwinism\u201d is a logical extension of Darwinian evolutionary theory and was articulated by Darwin himself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you talk to most racists today, they will use terms such as &#8220;subhuman&#8221; or &#8220;savages&#8221; to describe the groups that they do not like.<\/p>\n<p>The unspoken implication is that those groups are &#8220;inferior&#8221; because they evolved that way.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone that thinks like that is an idiot.<\/p>\n<p>But perhaps it should not be surprising that people buy into such ridiculous theories <a href=\"http:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/archives\/newly-discovered-eighth-grade-exam-from-1912-shows-how-dumbed-down-america-has-become\">since we are getting dumber as a society<\/a>. In fact, one very prominent evolutionist just came out with two new papers claiming that humans have been getting dumber\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reasons.org\/articles\/is-evolution-making-us-less-intelligent\">for thousands of years<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Are humans becoming smarter or more stupid? Comparing our modern lives and technology with that of any preceding generation, one might think we are becoming increasingly smarter. But, in two papers published in <i>Trends in Genetics<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/med.stanford.edu\/profiles\/Gerald_Crabtree\/\" >Gerald R. Crabtree<\/a> of Stanford University claims that we are losing mental capacity and have been doing so for 2,000\u20146,000 years! The reason, Crabtree concludes, is due to genetic mutations\u2013which are the backbone of neo-Darwinian evolution.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Professor Crabtree is convinced that this loss of mental capacity is the result of mutations which have accumulated in our genes&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Based on data produced by the 1000 Genomes Project Consortium and two recent papers in <i>Nature<\/i>, Crabtree estimates in the first article that, in the past 3,000 years (approximately 120 generations), about 5,000 new mutations have occurred in the genes governing our intellectual ability. He claims most of these mutations will have no effect, while about 2\u20145 percent are deleterious and \u201ca vanishingly small fraction will increase fitness.\u201d Crabtree bases his conclusion that humankind is losing mental capacity on the ratio between the deleterious and the beneficial mutations. (One critic calls this a \u201cback-of-the-envelope calculation;\u201d but if Crabtree\u2019s objective is a reasonable order-of-magnitude estimate, then he seems to have achieved that.)<\/p>\n<p>In the second article, Crabtree moves away from the science of genetics and moves into anthropology, which he admits is \u201cnot [his] area of expertise.\u201d He opines that humanity began losing intellectual abilities with the advent of agriculture and permanent communities 3,000 years ago because such a change would \u201ctend to reduce the selective pressure placed on every individual, every day of their life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is actually just more evidence that confirms the theory that I wrote about in my previous article entitled &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/thetruthwins.com\/archives\/the-human-race-is-dying-dna-degeneration-would-eventually-lead-to-the-total-extinction-of-humanity\">The Human Race Is Dying: DNA Degeneration Would Eventually Lead To The Total Extinction Of Humanity<\/a>&#8220;. With each passing generation, we lose more DNA information and we accumulate more harmful mutations.<\/p>\n<p>Given long enough, at some point the human race would no longer be able to produce viable offspring.<\/p>\n<p>Of course all of this points to the fact that we were created and that humanity is in a long process of decaying because of sin, but most people today prefer to believe in <a href=\"http:\/\/thetruthwins.com\/archives\/44-reasons-why-evolution-is-just-a-fairy-tale-for-adults\">the fairy tale of evolution<\/a> even though the hard science simply does not support it.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, these days many people will believe just about anything.
