Thoughts from Kansas

You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain

Answers in Genesis or Hitler? One said:

In spite of all the variation that we find within the human race, they are all descendants of Adam and bear his resemblance. God also created other kinds of creatures, such as apes, which display significant variation within their kind. But there is an impassable gulf between the human kind and any other kind.
The other:
From where do we get the right to believe, that from the very beginning Man was not what he is today? Looking at Nature tells us that in the realm of plants and animals changes and developments happen. But nowhere inside a kind shows such a development as the breadth of the jump, as Man must supposedly have made, if he has developed from an ape-like state to what he is today.
Thanks to Ed Brayton for reading Mein Kampf so we don't have to.

I wonder if you would be interested in the Darwin/Hitler test?

It involves comparisons between Mein Kamphf and The Descent of Man.

Have you got the gots to play, Mr. Grad Student in Biololgy?

So the answer is NO, you don't have the guts.

But heres a hint; who said that the "savage" races will be eliminated, women are intellectually inferior, that VACCINATION weakens the race, and that as far as humans are concerned even animal breeders don't allow their worst animals to breed?

I googled various attempts at your "test." It's trite, obvious, and self-debunking.

I'll let you guess who said that "Everybody who has the right kind of feeling for his country … ought to be brought to realize that it is their bounden duty to give to the Almighty Creator beings such as He himself made to His own image."
