as far as my comment about darwin is concerned,steve;i merely indicated that i did not apportion blame to him for the atrocities the worst of his adherents used his theory for.if you object to that,, i bow before your deeper knowledge of the man if you think he did forsee it thus used.
i actually hear of him as being kindly.i understand that he wrote off some islanders as hopeless savages on one voyage but later when through missionary work these people were transformed from what they were,he became a lifelong supporter of that missionary society.
i guess it also indicates a measure of humility on his part.
