Hitler was hard-core evolutionist. He ordered creationism replaced in German public schools with evolutionary teachings and he and the Nazis practiced social Darwinism.

Yeah, and Jeffrey Dahmer was a creationist. (Rev. Jim Jones devinitely was.)

Yet, another brilliant remark by an evolutionist. That remark is as stupid as the evolutionary fairy.

Dahmer was homosexual. Hitler and the Nazis practiced evolution and forced on Germany's society. Social Darwinism was the driving force behind the desire for a master race.

Ol' sparky wasn't lying. What's wrong with being a evolutionist if you support it? Hitler saw a truth in natural selection and wanted to control or destroy the lesser monkey-peoples to establish his supremacy. Doesn't sound christian to me.

Jeff Dahmer wasn't a creationist so much as he was a cannibalistic sick you-know-what. Rev. Jim Jones was a socialist people's temple leader who had nothing to do with christianity and everything to do with marxism and it's accompanying theories. Read up on J.Jones and you'll wonder why he is used as a christian example.

In 1895 Alfred Ploetz had, as we have seen, introduced Social Darwinism into Germany and founded Racial Hygiene. In his book "Fundamental Outline of Racial Hygiene" he calls for the elimination of counter-selective processes i.e. those processes which eliminate the strong and favour the weak. Amongst these he includes war and the protection of the weak and the ill. As an illustration he gives the example of a newly married couple who give birth to a weak or malformed child who would be given an easy death with a small dose of morphine by a Board of Doctors.

Darwin’s thought would become an important influence on Adolf Hitler. Historian Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler, Profiles in Power, wrote: “The social darwinist view of history as a struggle between individual races with victory going to the strongest, fittest and most ruthless, seems to have occupied its place at the center of Hitler’s world view by 1914-1918 at the latest.”

The centrality of darwinism in Hitler’s thinking can be seen in this quote from chapter 4 of Mein Kampf:

By leaving the process of procreation unchecked and by submitting the individual to the hardest preparatory tests in life, Nature selects the best from an abundance of single elements and stamps them as fit to live and carry on the conservation of the species. But man restricts the procreative faculty and strives obstinately to keep alive at any cost whatever has once been born. This correction of the Divine Will seems to him to be wise and humane, and he rejoices at having trumped Nature’s card in one game at least and thus proved that she is not entirely reliable. The dear little ape of an all-mighty father is delighted to see and hear that he has succeeded in effecting a numerical restriction; but he would be very displeased if told that this, his system, brings about a degeneration in personal quality.

For as soon as the procreative faculty is thwarted and the number of births diminished, the natural struggle for existence which allows only healthy and strong individuals to survive is replaced by a sheer craze to ‘save’ feeble and even diseased creatures at any cost. And thus the seeds are sown for a human progeny which will become more and more miserable from one generation to another, as long as Nature’s will is scorned.

The title of Hitler's book, Mein Kampf, means, My Struggle, in English, and alludes to the darwinian struggle for the survival of the fittest. In Hitler's view, the Aryans were the fittest race, while all others were unfit. Hitler believed that the Aryans would win the darwinian struggle through warfare.

By reducing man to a mere accident, and advocating survival of the fittest, darwinism has contributed to the genocidal holocausts of the 20th century. This unscientific philosophy, which has been responsible for much human misery, has seen its day. It is now time for darwinism to be discarded.

Would you deny that he hawked his racialism as being a natural and fitting political compliment to evolutionary theory as applied to **human** races / ethnicities ?
