“I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit. Remember what risk the nations of Europe ran, not so many centuries ago of being overwhelmed by the Turks, and how ridiculous such an idea now is! The more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world.”
― Charles Darwin

 

[Denny Crane]

“The thing that really is trying to tyrannize through government is Science. The thing that really does use the secular arm is Science. And the creed that really is levying tithes and capturing schools, the creed that really is enforced by fine and imprisonment, the creed that really is proclaimed not in sermons but in statues, and spread not by pilgrims but by policemen—that creed is the great but disputed system of thought which began with Evolution and has ended in Eugenics. Materialism is really our established Church; for the government will really help it to persecute its heretics…I am not frightened of the word ‘persecution’…It is a term of legal fact. If it means the imposition by the police of a widely disputed theory, incapable of final proof—then our priests are not now persecuting, but our doctors are.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Eugenics and Other Evils: An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State

Kudos to the people in this thread who didn't feel the need to go and be dicks in the scripture thread...

G.K. Chesterton hardly qualifies as a scientist.

Is Denny, once again dragging in irrelevance, trying to show scientists are imperfect human beings like everyone else? products of their times with prejudice like everyone else? No scientist ever denied it. Fake argument, again.

Not quite a science quote but a quote from a scientist, Dawkins famous comment on the god of the bible:

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

Not quite a science quote but a quote from a scientist, Dawkins famous comment on the god of the bible:

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Bertrand Russell, Thomas Szasz, and likely a few others quotes here aren't or weren't scientists.

I made no judgment about Darwin and his beliefs. YOU did.
