Evolution is Not the Problem. Darwinism is the Problem.

Benjamin Wiker
December 9, 2009
As I have argued at length in my Darwin Myth, evolution and Darwinism are not the same thing. Darwin’s version of evolution is properly called “Darwinism.” Darwinism was largely defined by the skeptical Enlightenment secularism of the 18th and 19th centuries. … » Go

Benjamin Wiker
December 3, 2009
In The Origins of Totalitarianism Hannah Arendt attempted to analyze how totalitarian regimes gain such pervasive power over every aspect of the lives of individuals. The creation of omnipresent fear, the use of terror, and the ascription of quasi-divine salvific powers to the leaders all … » Go

Benjamin Wiker
November 24, 2009
November 24, 2009, marked the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species. What should we say about this most influential of books? First of all, that it should be read, and not just celebrated. Wherever one stands in regard to Darwin or Darwinism, … » Go

What Were Darwin’s Religious Views?

Benjamin Wiker
May 1, 2009
Figuring out what Charles Darwin’s religious views actually were is immensely difficult, and this for several reasons.

Charles Darwin: A Short Biography

Benjamin Wiker

Darwin’s Views on Morality

Benjamin Wiker
May 1, 2009

Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin

Benjamin Wiker
February 12, 2009

Darwin Nietzsche, and Hitler: Evolution of the Übermensch

Benjamin Wiker
May 13, 2008
Judging by the number of posts, my recent column “Darwin and Hitler … in their Own Words” set the fur a-flying. Many folks just don’t like it when you trace a revered scientific icon to an icon of evil. Small wonder. Too bad it’s true. Not to rub too much salt in … » Go

Darwin and Hitler: In Their Own Words

Benjamin Wiker
May 5, 2008
As David Berlinski recently noted, “the thesis that there is a connection between Darwin and Hitler is widely considered a profanation.” But striking an indignant pose — feathers in full ruffle — is not an answer to such a serious charge, especially when the words of both … » Go

December 6, 2007
Shattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril David Klinghoffer, Doubleday, 256 pages, $24.95 David Klinghoffer’s Shattered Tablets is painful to read. First of all, as a writer I slapped myself on the forehead. Why didn’t I think of this! Second, his analysis of … » Go
