Image via WikipediaIn Pastor Mike's most recent post he wonders if Darwin was a racist. While he certainly won't commit to saying Darwin was racist but he certainly paints that picture with quotes from various individuals. Pastor Mike thoughtfully highlights and emphasizes certain "evidence" for us. Pastor Mike also attempts to link Darwin with moral decline, atheism and the rise of Hitler.
A few selected quotes from Pastor Mike's post that he uses as "evidence":
Ernst Haeckel was a German biologist, and a contemporary of Darwin, who laid the foundation of racism and imperialism that resulted in Hitler's racist regime.
Edward Simon, a Jewish biology professor at Purdue University, wrote, "I don't claim that Darwin and his theory of evolution brought on the holocaust; but I cannot deny that the theory of evolution, and the atheism it engendered, led to the moral climate that made a holocaust possible."
Sir Arthur Keith, a well-known evolutionist, assessed Darwin's impact on Hitler and Germany: "We see Hitler devoutly convinced that evolution produces the only real basis for a national policy....The means he adopted to secure the destiny of his race and people were organized slaughter which has drenched Europe in blood."
I think, however, this is the money quote from Pastor Mike himself (emphasis and highlights are Pastor Mike's):
Men like Nietzsche (who often said God was dead, called for the breeding of a master race, and for the annihilation of millions of misfits), Hitler, Mussolini, Marx, Engels, and Stalin were all outspoken evolutionists, ( as well as ATHEISTS ! ) , and these people and their theories have been responsible for the slaughter of multi-millions of people, and the destruction of freedom all over the earth. It is amazing that so many liberals, radicals, fascists, communists , socialists , and atheists , as well as the easily impressed worship at Darwin's shrine.
What A DICK!

The religious used this to further discredit Darwin, and evolution as being a racist ideology (evolution is the work of the devil, and we didn’t come from no monkeys, our all loving god, made us in his image). This misconception was so in grained by the ignorant god pimping black preachers and pastors, that when I was growing up, all science was see by many as the works of the devil, and as something evil – this made up bullshit, was only contrived as a hatful way to keep people stupid and ignorant.
When the ignorant black Christians would throw this ignorant bullshit in my face; it would make me ashamed of my own race (even if you’re black, or half black in my case, and you except evolution, in their eyes, that made you a racist, who hated black people).
They want, so much for that deluded Christian tripe to be true; they’ll say and do, almost anything to discredit the foundation of evolution (Darwin), their a sad bunch of deluded morons!
