re: #67 Killgore Trout

It’s unfortunate that their rebuttals are so weak and silly. There’s really nothing much to respond to.

This part is a hoot:

Consider King Leopold II (1835-1909) of Belgium, responsible for the enslavement and murder of millions in Belgian Congo. The horror crystallized in the phrase from Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, “Exterminate all the brutes,” scrawled by the character Kurtz across a manuscript during his time as chief of an ivory-harvesting station far up the Congo River, is just a brief encapsulation of the ethics implied by Darwin’s theory, echoing Darwin’s own language. He was fond of the word “exterminate.”

He’s quoting a novel to support his idiotic contention that Darwin was a monster.

He’s supporting his argument with a quote from a fictional character.
