The Proposition

Darwinists are strange. They pop up everywhere, without warning, preaching and defending their faith.

My latest weird encounter was while watching The Proposition. In this somewhat violent and brutal movie, John Hurt's bounty hunter character starts talking about Darwinism, and how it implies that "the darkies" and whites are related, by a common ancestor. The message is that Darwinism somehow militates against racism.

However, that thought is the exact opposite of what Darwinism did do in Australia - justify the view that "darkies" were inferior, less evolved "animals." Darwinism was the "science" behind the official racism of Australia, which led to the killing of aborigines for the purpose of providing "specimens" of the "missing link."

That someone writing a movie script today must try to defend Darwin in this sordid affair is indicative of the sorry state of moral vacuity bequeathed us by this charlatan.
