What was Darwin's crappy philosophy? He was one of the better ones AFAIK, while the baggage from his hangers who on insist evolution justifies their various racisms continues accumulating.

I think you have the wrong Darwinist. Darwin was a staunch abolitionist who manifestly doubted any material reality to the existence of human races to speak of and dryly mocked the various contradictory efforts to classify them.

Well it's nice to hear that Saint Reagan wasn't so preoccupied with murdering Catholics in Latin America to attempt a death bed conversion of his atheist father in-law by testifying to how prayer cured a peptic ulcer. Really puts a human face on an impersonal god.
