John Gray, anti-humanist

"Darwin showed that humans are like other animals, humanists claim they are not. Humanists insist that by using our knowledge we can control our environment and flourish as never before.

In the world shown us by Darwin, there is nothing that can be called progress. To anyone reared on humanist hopes this is intolerable. As a result, Darwin's teaching has been stood on its head, and Christianity's cardinal error–that humans are different from all other animals–has been given a new lease on life." — Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals by John Gray
