Dawkins Flip-Flops on Link between Darwinism and Fascism

  • In keeping with standard operating procedure at the Discovery Institute, I shall exorcize the fundamental flaw in my argument by thrice clicking my heels and chanting “there is no such thing as the naturalistic fallacy.”
  • One Response to “Shorter John West”

      Here’s an interesting snippet somebody posted on Ed Braytons’ blog in which it appears that the Fuhrer was a cdesign proponentist.

      From: Hitlers Tischgespräche im Führerhauptquartier, 1941-42

      “Woher nehmen wir das Recht zu glauben, der Mensch sei nicht von Ur-anfängen das gewesen, was er heute ist? Der Blick in die Natur zeigt uns, daß im Bereich der Pflanzen und Tiere Veränderungen und Weiterbildungen vorkommen. Aber nirgends zeigt sich innherhalb einer Gattung eine Entwicklung von der Weite des Sprungs, den der Mensch gemacht haben müßte, sollte er sich aus einem affenartigen Zustand zu dem, was er ist, fortgebildet haben.”

      “Whence do we get the right to believe that man was not from his very beginnings that what he is today? A look at nature shows us that, in the realm of the plants and animals, changes and adaptations happen. But no development is shown, inside a species, that includes a leap as large as man would have had to make to evolve from some apelike state to what he is today.”
