Claim CA002.1:

Darwinism leads to social Darwinism, the policy that the weak should be allowed to fail and die.

Source: Morris, Henry M. 1985. Scientific Creationism. Green Forest, AR: Master Books, p. 179.

CreationWiki response:

Actually the correct wording of this claim is that social Darwinism, the policy that the weak should be allowed to fail and die, comes logically out of Darwinism.
