How Evolution Fuels Racism & Bigotry

[Webster]

In this presentation, Ken Ham teaches us about what the Bible says regarding racism and other social issues. He also reveals the flaws within Darwinian evolution—which actually fuel racism.

One comment encapsulates the above....

"Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory." - Stephen Jay Gould, Ontogeny and Phylogeny, Belknap-Harvard Press, p. 127, 1977

A lot of counter-apologists (atheists) state that Ken Ham doesn't understand science. I would have to say that I'm in agreement with them.

He never really establishes or develops the position adequately. Neither his conceptualization of evolution nor that of racism were satisfactory. I hadn't heard of him, so was expecting much more from the video than what we got. Which is a shame, as there has been a lot of literature on scientific racism and theories of evolution. Importantly a lot of these debates are amongst evolutionary theorists. Jay Gould was one of the more prominent critics. Although his arguments were always around what he argued were incorrect and prejudiced understandings of evolution, as he himself is very much an evolutionist. Which is probably my biggest issue with Ham, in the way he simplifies views to such a degree that they have almost no resemblance to reality.
