I'm not a creationist, by the way.
The quote from Hitler in no way proves that Hitler believed in "special creation." For all you can tell from this quote, he might have thought Jews were Australopithecines. Not saying he did think that, but you can't tell anything from this quote.
I've already stated how leftist propaganda uses rhetorical devices, like Biblical phrases or allusions, to achieve deceptive ends. Apparently you haven't studied much communist or Nazi propaganda (or that of the liberal left, which is similar). You really need to get away from this obsession with "us scientists vs. the great ignorant unwashed" stuff and read some history for a change.

the key phrases are "image of God, the Eternal" and "image of the Devil"

direct reference to "created in His image"

game. set. match.

since you don't like what this DIRECT QUOTE indicates about Hitler's beliefs, you spin it, stating that it doesn't "prove" anything.

well, it proves he said exactly that, and history (oh, you messed up with that "read some history" crack) indicates that his Christian audience lapped it up like mother's milk.

You don't consider 'em Christians. Fair enough. Bear in mind that they considered themselves Christians, in the same way as did the Inquisition, pogrom-prone Russian idiots, and various European kingdoms and states which ALSO enacted/supported institutional antisemitism while simultaneously calling themselves Christian.

you don't like what that says about some Christians, so you deny that they were Christians.

sad.

let me know when you get out of the minors and are ready to make another stab at the Show.
