There’s Darwinism and then there’s the Darwin Mythos

My target is always the latter.

In other words, there is the proposition of natural selection, which is basically common sense. Then there are the various vast and unwarranted metaphysical deductions, many of them extremely evil, which poltroons, bullies, atheist materialists, Nazis, and village atheists have drawn in constructing the Darwin Mythos. The problem with Darwin is this: was he a hypocrite or a eupocrite? Was he better than his worst rhetoric or much worse than his best rhetoric? I think we have to assign a good chunk of responsibility for the disastrous philosophical and metaphysical conclusions he embraced and encouraged his disciples to embrace.

I will discuss Darwin, Spencer, Haeckel and some of the other nineteenth century Philosophies of Pride in Mary, Mother of the Son: Volume II: First Guardian of the Faith.
