Evolution and Jew-baiting

By now, the evidence for evolution (the idea that all life on earth is related by descent) is as extensive and robust as the evidence that sun is at the center of the solar system. Darwin's genius was to summon this evidence into a coherent thesis in the middle of the 19th century, long before plate tectonics and genome sequencing.

Most attacks on evolution come from religious extremists. But Fox News presenter Lara Logan has fabricated her attack with an appeal to anti-semitism. She suggested that Charles Darwin was paid by the Jewish Rothschild family to invent the theory of evolution.

""Does anyone know who employed Darwin? Where does Darwinism come from?" Logan asked. "Look it up. The Rothschilds."

"I'm just saying Darwin was hired by someone to come up with a theory based on evidence," she added before saying that evolution is a chicken or egg debate and cannot be answered scientifically.

"The Rothschilds were a prominent wealthy Jewish family who gained their wealth in the late 18th century. Due to its great wealth, the family has featured heavily in antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews taking over the world based partly on stereotypes of Jews' relationship with money."

Shame on Logan. Shame on Fox. Shame on anyone who watches this anti-semitic propaganda outlet.
