I most hardy third nomination for the Arachnid.

It's probably best if demurs from POTM nominations be contemplated rather than expressed.

Even though its almost in September, better late than never. It is extremely well written and cuts to the point and facts swiftly.

Re: POTM: NJ
Well, I will say that that post was well written and very clear. That is why nem is my favorite poster on the creationist side. He can actually write a post in correct English, and his thinking is very clear; you can almost always see what his point is and how he is arguing it.

Heh.... I would have thought that perhaps the universe would have collapsed in on itself... Stranger things have happened I guess.
Anyhow, thanks a lot.

Modulous on evolution, Darwin, and racism
Modulous' message #29 in the thread "Evolution is antithetical to racism".
Modulous responds to a claim that racists' earlier use of evolution to justify their racism and contemporary use of evolution to justify non-racism shows that the theory of evolution is "malleable". He also takes the time to show how Darwin wasn't racist (at least compared to the people of his time), and produces the context of his comments that supposedly show his racism.
This is the post that I was trying to figure out how to write. Modulous does a better job than I would have.
