Darwin on the Savage races

His gloomy prediction, though not entirely accurate, was not far off, was it? Do you deny that many nations (for example, of Native Americans) were in fact wiped out? If you had been living in Darwin's time, how much would you have bet on the whites restraining themselves from total extermination? I guess they're glad that for once he wasn't completely right.It is not clear why you call him a "fascist racist". Unlike America's founding fathers, he didn't order the extermination or so much as hint that it would be a good thing. He merely said that he saw it coming. Er ... the absence of any remotely fabulous quality?Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

That is indeed "alleged". Specifically, it's alleged by two kinds of people: liars and their dupes. I shall do you the courtesy of supposing that you are the latter, and ask you why you didn't bother to find out if the allegation was true or not before repeating it.I seem to remember something in the Bible about not bearing false witness.

Do you have any evidence for your fantasies about what Darwin thought?

Perhaps you could find a quote with him saying something about Darwin. No?

But those do not support your fantasies. That's why I asked.

This is too easy, are you by any chance related to a fish in a barrel?

And yet apparently this thread was the best you could come up with --- the thing you decided to lead with on joining this forum.Well, dear Jaf, if this is your strongest suit, I think you overestimate yourself when you claim to have proof "beyond cavil". I think people will cavil. Some of them may go so far as to laugh.

As you'd know if you read the quotes (remember how you like quotes?) they are found in the fossil record. Then when paleontologists have found them, they put them in museums and universities.You'd think with all that studying you'd know that, but I am of course happy to fill in lacunae in your knowledge. Though not all of them, I have but one life to live.

That was a bizarre non sequitur. Tell, me, when you typed it, did you have the impression that it was a reply to my post, or were those just the first words that came at random into your head?

Hmm, who to believe about fossils, you or all the paleontologists in the world? Well, they spend their professional lives looking at fossils, and you ... well, you don't, and also you've been wrong a lot lately.

Ooh, paranoia! I like the luciferian Freemasons, that's good. Incidentally, are you a joke, a spoof, someone pretending to be a nutty creationist?Anyway, here's some photos.

That thing you've made up in your head is simple.Would you like to pretend that there's some evidence for it, or is bald assertion your best shot?

Er, no, that's not what I think. What I was thinking then, and am thinking now, is "What the heck is Jaf talking about? Has he gone nuts?"Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

The moderators have asked us to stay on topic; if you wish to display your grotesque ignorance of the fossil record you'll have to do it on another thread.

I think when AdminModulous said "everybody" he was including you. But perhaps your unique powers of reasoning give you a different take on this.
