The Sad Legacy of Darwin's Racism A belated not-so-happy birthday to Darwin on this edition of Generations. Hey, and thanks alot for the eugenics. . . And the racism. . . And the nihilism. . . And the advent of pseudo-science. In the which, we struggle with what exactly it was the Darwin contributed that was worth all this hoopla. In the commemoration of Darwin's 200th birthday, we review his commitment to social Darwinism, his incipient racism, and endorsement of eugenics.

Celebrating the End of Patriarchy What happens to a society where 40-50% of the children are born out of wedlock? Wanna experiment with 10-15 of the largest nations in the world?

Newsweek: We're All Socialists Now!The front cover of the latest Newsweek Magazine shouts out what we have been saying since 1994. "We're All Socialists Now!" Our leaders are arguing for the imposition of international law (including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) on Americans in court trials.Kevin Swanson compares our situation to that experienced by the Separatists who were fighting state control of the church in the 1580s and 1590s in England. Fortunately, there were a few havens of freedom found in places like Holland, Switzerland, and America. Is this the time to create some havens of freedom for those who desire freedom from the tyrannical impositions on families and churches in the years to come?

Christians who Support Infanticide How would you look at those Jews who supported child sacrifice in the Israel's compromised era of Baal worship? What about Christians who supported the Roman games where Christians and slaves were killed by the thousands in the coliseums? What about those Christians that not only support abortion and infanticide themselves, but would support the government funding of international abortions and candidates that publicly endorse the killing of children born alive in Illinois abortion clinics? In the 2008 elections, protestants went for the infanticide candidate, 45%-54%, and Catholics went for him, 53%-47%.Kevin Swanson speaks of the bounds of Christian ecumenicity, and the role of the church in teaching biblical morality and exercising church discipline, in this controversial segment of the Generations broadcast.
