Maybe, but then again, that's not their thing, Science is. Regardless, it is an intellectually dishonest tactic, whether Mikey Moore does it, or this movie. Its a shame.
“Maybe, but then again, that’s not their thing, Science is.”
Science used to be “their thing,” but they are just as political as the rest of the media.
Case in point: bitching about “extras” in a movie scene. If they stuck to bitching about his misquoting Darwin, that would have been legit “Scientific complaint.
As an aside, social Darwinism is a complete mis-read of Darwin’s theory, no matter what you think of Darwin’s theory.
Social Darwinism assumes people get “better” through natural selection.
Darwin’s theory is that those who have babies are “more fit.” Cutting to the chase, the welfare moms and the polygamous freak fathers in the FLDS compound in El Dorado, Texas are “more fit” from a true biological Darwinian perspective than a brilliant doctor who cures cancer, but has one sickly child.
(Kindly don’t post to me about supporting/disputing Darwin; I don’t care about either side in the dispute. I am merely noting that Social Darwinism is a complete bastardization of biological Darwinism -— WHATEVER you think of his theory, pro- or con-).
