According to Charles Darwin, the central mechanism of evolution is survival of the fittest. In this concept, inferior animals are more likely to become extinct while the superior ones are more likely to thrive.1 The racism that this idea has produced has now been both well-documented and widely publicized.2 Less widely known is the fact that many evolutionists, including Darwin, taught that women were both biologically and intellectually inferior to men.

It is less widly known because it is one of Kent Hovind's favorite droolings. Hovind: "Thats what destroyed Charles Darwin, his own theory of evolution. It was his own undoing. Darwin thought that women were inferior. He said, A married man would be a poor slave, worse than a Negro."
Lie #115. That's why Darwin married, I guess.... I have no idea where Hovind digs up these monstrous lies since he never offers any references, but again, Darwin himself refutes Hovind. Here is another excerpt from "Descent":
"With women, marriage at too early an age is highly injurious; for it has been found in France that, "Twice as many wives under twenty die in the year, as died out of the same number of the unmarried." The mortality, also, of husbands under twenty is "excessively high," but what the cause of this may be, seems doubtful. Lastly, if the men who prudently delay marrying until they can bring up their families in comfort, were to select, as they often do, women in the prime of life, the rate of increase in the better class would be only slightly lessened."
How about this one: "The advancement of the welfare of mankind is a most intricate problem: all ought to refrain from marriage who cannot avoid abject poverty for their children."?

For anyone who wants to dig around checking credentials, Here's some of Bergman's:
"Dr. Jerry Bergman has published over 700 articles and books and has earned nine degrees. He has served as a consultant for CBS News, ABC News, and Reader's Digest. Dr. Bergman has also taught biology, genetics, chemistry, biochemistry, anthropology, geology, and microbiology at Northwest State College in Archbold, Ohio (USA) for 20 years."
It turns out that Northwest State College is an accredited community college with a 2 year course of study. Nothing out of line with that, but the good doctor seems to have taught so many pretty specialized subjects that one wonders if he's the only staff member.
I was going to dig a little deeper, but got bored with it. Maybe later...

"Jerry Bergman, Ph.D."? Looks like Bergman's PhD is a "correspondence" degree from yet another phony diploma mill.
According to Wiki, when Bergman appealed an unfavorable ruling in a suit over his being denied professorial tenure at Bowling Green State University, a judge ruled that the real reason for the denial wasn't "religious discrimination" as Bergman had charged, rather "the reason he was let go was because of ethics, namely that he claimed to have credentials in psychology when, in fact, he 'had no psychological credentials.'" So Bergman's on the official record as a liar.
Another Creo con-man. What a shock.

Just saw a Hovind video with this quote. It was very clearly referenced. Here you go.

Of course, to get the context, one needs to start at page 231. Darwin was facing "The Question" and actually penned two columns of notes, on the consequences of marrying or not, and concluded, "It being proved necessary to marry..." And after the comparison of marriage to slavery, he ended with the following:—Never mind my boy—Cheer up—One cannot live this solitary life, with groggy old age, friendless and cold and childless staring one in one's face, already beginning to wrinkle. Never mind, trust to chance—keep a sharp look out.—There is many a happy slave— He married less than two years after scribbling these notes.
But so what of it? One can be a complete asshat and still be scientifically correct, so why does Hovind think Darwin's views on marriage and/or slavery and/or "Negroes" matter? Because Hovind can't assail Darwin's science, and so must resort to attempts at character assassination.
Darwin was just about as sexist and racist as other learned men of his day (though he was an abolitionist before it became trendy), but nobody celebrates him for it. Hovind, however, only need to look to the authors of his Bible to see racism and sexism and slavery on proud parade, so he might want to avoid calling the kettle black. |

'Survival of the fittest' was not coined by Darwin, but by Herbert Spencer, a sociologist. And it has nothing to do with 'fittest' as we commonly use the term. Spencer was referring to reproductive success: those who left the most descendants were the 'fittest'.
But the cretinists and IDiots wouldn't know that.
