Many liberal writers deny that Darwin's theory--and Darwin's writings in Descent of Man--contributed to the racist thinking of later generations and even the race-theories of the Nazis. Tony Campolo, the noted liberal Christian who once advised President Bill Clinton, does not make that mistake.
Regrettably, however, Campolo apparently is unaware of the gaping holes in modern Darwinian theory as science. He might be more optimistic if he could see that the future of the scientific debate is bright. Both faith and science oblige us to see the exceptionalism of human beings.
