==Unlike religion?

So you’re comparing the Church of Darwin to other religions? Now we’re getting somewhere!

No, what he's doing is making an analogy.

Anyone can appropriate certain scientific facts, e.g. differential IQ scores, and use them for malign purposes, e.g. trying to impute racial inferiority to one class of people.

That doesn't mean that the scientific material they rely upon is not valid, or that the scientific research underlying those studies shouldn't be undertaken.

Thomas Sowell touched upon this issue in one of his more recent books.

The same thing can be said of certain religious beliefs that-of themselves-are not necessarily evil in nature.

The absurdity of your comment aside, do you think that referring to a scientist as a Church somehow belittles the scientist? If so, what does that say for all the non-scientific charlatans who create churches out of mythology?
