1) we are talking about science, not philosophy and especially not
materialistic philosophy.
2) It certainly IS a distortion to 'move from "only the fittest
survive" to "I define fitness as X, and I am X, therefore I
am more fit to survive."' Such an extrapolation is not only
absurd, it has nothing whatsoever to do with science.
3) You previously insisted that your position was and
always had been that racists distort evolution to support
their beliefs. Now you insist that it is NOT a distortion.
If the logic is so compelling, why can't you make up your
mind ?
