I don't doubt that 19th century biologists held prejudices that were otherwise common during the 19th century. I certainly don't feel the need to affirm, excuse, or share these beliefs.
Followers of organized religion, on the other hand, have always been much more progressive in their attitudes toward women. Right?

Re: Interesting coincidence
Our man Giuseppe shows up in yesterday's statement by the president of the Discovery Institute, who I'm ashamed to say is also on the Texas State Board of Education.
quote:
That Darwinism is a theory in crisis is also clear. Over 60 biologists, some with specialties in evolutionary biology, have signed a statement expressing their skepticism about the theory, and they have been joined by over 200 other scientists nationally. Forty scientists in Texas are now on record within this group. I will submit these lists to the board. These scientists represent a wide spectrum of backgrounds andyes, widely religious views in their private lives. It is dishonest to dismiss them as creationists. Among them are evolutionary biologists. One signer is the editor of a peer-reviewed biology journal in Europe.
Anyone concerned about the 'crisis' demonstrated by these hundreds of dissenters from the dogma of Darwinism should take a quick glance at the membership directory of the American Institute of Biological Sciences. They list 241,946 biologists.
