Proper Understanding of Evolution

I give credit to Dr. Watson for his integrity. He allows his faith in evolution to guide his thoughts. Now these other people are at least dishonest with themselves for if evolution is true than there can be not be anything that is driving a moral compass.
So when he is holding true to evolution when he says a women should have a right to Abbott a baby who will be homosexual, as that would naturally decrease the Gene pool. Like wise he is honest to evolution when he says that Africans are a lower inteligence, because they are earlier on the evolutionary scale, than northern Europeans.
Of course he is also wrong because evolution is wrong, but he at least has more integrity than those who criticise him for his stance on evolution.
The real question is why do they care, as there is no meaning to life if there is nothing beyond this life.

Museum drops race row scientist

Dr Watson was due to arrive in Britain to promote his new bookThe Science Museum has cancelled a talk by American DNA pioneer Dr James Watson after he claimed black people were less intelligent than white people.


Dr Watson, who won a Nobel Prize in 1962 for his part in discovering the structure of DNA, was due to speak at the venue on Friday. But the museum has cancelled the event, saying his views went "beyond the point of acceptable debate".

Skills Minister David Lammy said Dr Watson's views "were deeply offensive". He added: "They will succeed only in providing oxygen for the BNP. "It is a shame that a man with a record of scientific distinction should see his work overshadowed by his own irrational prejudices." We feel Dr Watson has gone beyond the point of acceptable debate.

Dr Watson, currently director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in New York, has arrived in Britain to promote his latest book.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, the 79-year-old said he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really".


He went on to say he hoped everyone was equal but that "people
who have to deal with black employees find this is not true".
A spokesman for the Science Museum said: "We know that eminent scientists can sometimes say things that cause controversy and the Science Museum does not shy away from debating controversial topics.
"However, we feel Dr Watson has gone beyond the point of acceptable debate and we are, as a result, cancelling his talk."
'Robust questioning'



The scientist has courted controversy in the past,
saying that a woman should have the right to abort her unborn child if tests could determine it would be homosexual.
Dr Watson is also due to speak in Bristol at the annual Festival of Ideas which will be hosted by Eric Thomas, Bristol University's vice-chancellor.
A spokesman for the university said it respected "freedom of speech and the right of people to express their views".
But it expected "some robust questioning of Dr Watson on his ideas".
