What an appropriate first entry.. My recent infatuation with the famous collection of works illustrating the beauty and symmetry and innate art in the structure of plants and animals. I downloaded a public PDF and browsed thogh what could be one of my favorite books of all time. The vivid illustrations are so in-your-face and out of this world, they remind me of the LSD art experiments.. LSD drawing experiment
Like yours truly, Haeckel was a fan of Darwinian theory. Although I beg to differ when the topic moves to superiority or inferiority of one race to another. from Nick Matzke's blog:
- Haeckel was an anti-Semite and campaigning biological racist
- Haeckel was a strong, explicit promoter of eugenics
- Haeckel was a strong, explicit promoter of morally radical atheistic philosophies like monism (Weikart makes much of the alleged overturning of conventional religion and moral standards in Germany)
The Fuhrer has proven that all that theory is good for is hate and rationalized acts of evil. Also, I'm not an Atheist.. I believe in the existence of God and that He/She has a hand in Evolution and the existence of life as we know it. Creationism is one of the worst ways the Bible is interpreted. It's like reading Frost and thinking: "oh, so he stopped by the woods. and it was snowing". end of story, good lit just became boring.
tl;dr:
We evolved from apes. God caused it. Adam and Eve were the first to evolve. How else could you explain puppies? And BACON!!! Nice Book MF!!!!
