Undeniably connects the increase of Racism to Evolutionism!, March 14, 2000
This review is from: One Blood: The Biblical Answer to Racism (Paperback)
An abysmal chapter in the history of evolutionary philosophy involves the notion that certain 'races' were not quite as advanced as others.
Consider the complete title of Darwin's famous book: "The Origin of Species by Natural Selection" with the subtitle, "The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life".
In the 1800's the scientific community believed that Negroes were lower on the evolutionary chains that Caucasians. Not only were Darwin and Thomas Huxley racists, but virtually all the leading evolutionists and anthropologists - Osborn, Hooton, Hrdlicka, and Haeckel. Consider this quote: "The Negroid stock is even more ancient that the Caucasian and Mongolian, as may be proved by an examination not only of the brain, of the hair, of the body characters, such as teeth, the genitalia, the sense organs, but the instincts, the intelligence. The standard of intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the eleven-year-old youth of the species Homo Sapiens." (Henry Fairfield Osborn, "The Evolution of Human Races", Natural History Jan/Feb 1926. Reprinted in Natural History 89 (April1980):129)
H. F. Osborn was the most prominent American anthropologist of the first half of the twentieth century and director of the American Museum of National History. These remarks were not based on innate prejudice, but on the "so-called" evolutionary science of the day.
Batten, Wieland & Ham make their point clear. Evolution has fueled Racism and was even the justification for all sorts of racist attitudes, actions and atrocities (including the Nazi Holocaust)! Not only do they identify the problem, they offer the only true and workable solution to racism (BTW, for more Biblical answers to troubling questions: http://www.AnswersInGenesis.org ).
This book, if it gets into the right hands will cause a "REVOLUTION against EVOLUTIONISM!"

Thought provoking, May 19, 2000
This review is from: One Blood: The Biblical Answer to Racism (Paperback)
Thought provoking presentation of facts to refute many of the arguments that defend racism. Helps to establish what a Christian's perspective should be in response to racist attitudes and ignorance. Meaningful historical information, particularly eye-opening with linkages of Darwinism and Nazi racism.
