And when for some reason (like it's your special interest and not their professional expertise) you know a thing better, it's still them whom one should trust. Perhaps because they have a position.
Here is an example. A certain Med. Dr. Carl Wieland wrote an article in 1998, first published on paper, it's still on the website of Creation Ministries International.
Evolutionary racism
By Dr Carl Wieland | Published 27 Jan 2006 | Updated 14 Jul 2025

A certain US American archaeologist reacted to content, left out that the article was a book review (and the book was actually a normal educational book), namely of Aborigines in White Australia: A Documentary History of the Attitudes Affecting Official Policy and the Australian Aborigine 1697–1973. [Edited by Sharman Stone, Heinemann Educational Books, Melbourne, 1974.], after reading before and after the lines in it where Carl Wieland said it was a book review, and comes off with this:
- [Citing article]
- Far from showing a progressive enlightenment, as time goes on, one can see a distinct change for the worse after 1859, a marked increase in callousness, ill treatment and brutality towards Aboriginal people became evident in official attitudes.”
- [Commenting]
- I can't believe we only started mistreating indigenous people in 1859.
Here is how I responded:
49:04 Carl Wieland is Australian, and partly Aboriginal, in case you didn't know. I don't think God cancelled that when he died.
He was also a medical doctor, one of the few of them where "Dr." means "Med. Dr."
Do you credit him with being able to know when and how Aborigines of Australia were mistreated a tad bit better than a man from a country famous for confusing Sweden and Switzerland and when it comes to Sweden the capital Stockholm with the far off Arctic island Svalbard?
One slap Batman gave Robin I'm unlikely to forget ... the Boywonder spoke of a country with "watches, cheese, chocolates and where Polar bears walk around the capital" ...
I had a hard time wrapping my mind around even Batman thinking Polar Bears walked the streets of Stockholm, but by now I know that Norway (including Svalbard) was Swedish up to 1905, so, explains ...
Or "but can't Europe have a nation wide policy on whether to drive on the left or the right?" (Ireland and formerly UK before Brexit aren't the equivalent to 2 from 50 States of the Union, they are countries of their own).
Sure thing, an US American knows Australian history better than a Med Dr. from Australia, with part heritage from the oppressed people group. Really and truly convincing. < / mode irony off >
And obviously, over here, some guys are trusting Southern Poverty Law Center that Young Earth Creationism is racist. No matter how many times CMI says a thing against racial discrimination or hatred, their position is being equated to racism. And so is mine.
I just wrote an exegesis on Genesis 9, by the way: Ham and Canaan. Probably some will not read it, but call me racist because I simply did that.
Milo Rossi goes on:
If I had to compile a list of every genocide motivated by religious ideology before the publication of On Origins of Species, it would take me f*cking years. The Crusades, the conquest of North America, the conquest of South America.
The Crusades and Conquista were motivated by Catholicism. They weren't racist or genocidal. No act by Geoffrey of Bouillon or St. Lewis IX or even Pizarro (Cajamarca was a massacre, but mainly as act of war, not on civilians purely) looks like even the Enfumades by Eugène Cavaignac and Thomas Robert Bugeaud. Let alone Trail of Tears. Nor did the taking of Algers in 1830 (cocorico and vive le roi!) look like that.
The Conquest of North America did end up involving genocidal or at least ethnic cleansing acts (Milo Rossi mentioned Andrew Jackson, who broke a promise to I think Cherokees by a previous president), and it wasn't religiously motivated. Andrew Jackson was certainly a Presbyterian, a Calvinist, but he also features in the category Grand masters of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee. In other words, he didn't allow his Presbyterian confession to be fully his real religion, it was subservient to an ideology (or mystery religion) which started along with the Enlightenment. Andrew Jackson was ruthless to Indians, as he was an Enlightenment Philosopher, not as he was a Calvinist. (Given Desaguyliers the lodge founder and Newton promoter was son of a Huguenot Pastor, the two ideologies or religions are in fact not all that far from each other). Van Buren was also involved, a Dutch Calvinist, as you can see from the wiki Trail of Tears.
However a forced march, partly death march, into a new land which is less opulent and an actual treatment as cattle, as was the case in Australia precisely after 1859, is not equivalent.
Carl Wieland didn't say atrocities against indigenous peoples began with Darwin's book, he said they got worse in dehumanisation and callousness. And what Milo Rossi left out, though he has to have read it, was that Carl got this from a book published by Heinemann Educational Books, same publishing company that published Chinua Achebe (Things are Falling Apart). Here is an article on the book:
Aborigines in White Australia is a 1974 book by Sharman Stone. It is a compilation of historical documents regarding the changing attitudes of white people, especially white Australians, towards indigenous Australians. It covers the period from 1697 to 1973.
The historical documents are drawn from contemporary newspapers, court and government records, official reports, private journals and lectures. They illustrate a broad range of attitudes to indigenous people held by white Australians, including fear, racism, anthropological interest, paternalism and guilt.

Sharman Stone:
Sharman Nancy Stone AM (née Bawden; born 23 April 1951) is a former Australian politician who represented Murray in the Australian House of Representatives between 1996 and 2016 as a member of the Liberal Party. She subsequently served as the Australian Ambassador for Women and Girls from when Natasha Stott Despoja stepped down from the role in late 2016[1] until 2020.
...
Stone is an author of numerous publications on race relations, environment and geology (with Doug Stone) among others, including Aborigines in White Australia (London and Melbourne, 1974).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharman_Stone
So, her husband is mentioned:
Douglas Maxwell Stone (born 26 June 1948) is an Australian geologist, author, publisher, farmer and businessman. He was born in Kew, Victoria, and is the son of Lawrie Phillip Stone and Josephine Alexander Proctor. He is manager of Outdoor Press, and a farmer on the property known as Granite Springs, Kelvin View, Victoria. He is an author of numerous publications on geology, gold prospecting, and maps (in particular of Victoria).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Maxwell_Stone
I find it a safe bet that Douglas Maxwell, Doug for short, and Sharman Stone agree with Milo Rossi that Evolution is true and Deep Time is true.
Then Sharman Stone edited the newspaper clips that make up the work on Aborigines ... Dr. Carl Wieland is referring to an Evolutionist on the effect of Darwin's book, and Milo Rossi pretends he's making things up just to suit his own agenda.
Don't hate too much on Milo Rossi, I already gave him the Batman slap, so to speak (see above comment), but here is his video, pretending to "detect BS". And while Milo is correct that John Hagee and Pete Hegseth are supporting Palestinian genocide (or at least close enough, clearly worse than Trail of Tears the last years) for religious reasons, he is totally incorrect to lump Christian Zionism together with Young Earth Creationism as examples of "fanaticism" which is a Masonic weasel word for whatever they don't like about Christians. However, at the very least he is not, like some over here in Paris (whose competense seems like that of Robin about Norway / Sweden / Switzerland or Putin about Christians in Indonesia (who eat pork), he is NOT accusing Young Earth Creationists of being Racist. He is also not saying Ku Klux Klan were Young Earth Creationist (they are currently Old Earth Creationist, with lots of "people outside Eden" who only marginally even now have Adam as ancestor, on their view, that of Isaac Lapeyrère also), he's just calling them Christians (if you deny Adam was sole ancestor to all men, that's a bit tenuous).
Here is his video, anyway:

I'd have a few guys in Paris with similar attitudes, more directly to me, than Milo Rossi to Creation Ministries International. I might go into his arguments on other issues some other time. But modern history he is clearly out of his depth.

16 Septembris: Natalis sancti Martini Primi, Papae et Martyris, qui, cum Sergium ac Paulum et Pyrrhum haereticos, Romae coacta Synodo, condemnasset, ideo, jussu Constantis, Imperatoris haeretici, per fraudem captus et Constantinopolim perductus, in Chersonesum relegatus est, ibique, ob catholicam fidem aerumnis confectus, vitam finivit, multisque miraculis claruit. Ejus corpus, postea Romam translatum, in Ecclesia sanctorum Silvestri et Martini conditum fuit. Ipsius tamen festivitas pridie Idus Novembris celebratur.
12 Novembris: Sancti Martini Primi, Papae et Martyris, cujus dies natalis sextodecimo Kalendas Octobris recensetur.
