I've always hoped that there were a few people in Darwin's time enlightened enough not to be racist, and that people like him might be among them. And Darwin's personal views on black people do not take away the fact that his theory of evolution in itself is scientific, and social darwinism is an unscientific misinterpretation of it

That's why I added an IIRC, cause I'm hazy on the details
From what I remember he wrote a book called The Descent Of Man which had some racism in it I obviously agree this doesn't discredit the theory of evolution |

It seems like it has less to do with the institution being corrupt in this case than it does that people will always appeal to that kind of authority when constructing an argument
The argument can be pro oppression or anti oppression, or it could have nothing to do with oppression. E.g. both proponents of slavery and abolitionists appealed to the authority of scripture to argue their point. |

One of the ideas of science, however, is that you find out if you got it wrong by testing. But you guys are totally right that in reality no institution is entirely neutral, and that people will often appeal to science to defend their arguments, and then often do so erroneously (like with social darwinism)
