Phil Ryken has a very helpful post, over at Reformation 21, in which he points out the significance of the title of Darwin’s magnum opus The Origin of the Species . The subtitle? The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life . In this post Dr. Ryken shows that there is an underlying premise of racism in Darwin’s Origin of the species . You can read Dr. Ryken’s post here .
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
