Laugh it off right. Anybody who disagrees with evolution or dares to question it is a heretic.
Fact is Hitler was attempting to evolve a super race of Aryans through genetic evolution. He believed in Darwin and believed that man was still evolving. That is why he had to rid Germany of the "weeds" or Jews, Slavs and Gypsies as well as the handicapped for fear of diluting the race.
Funny how Darwin is going the way of the Dinosaur?

How many breeds of dogs were there before Darwin's day? Cattle? Corn in the New World?
Selective breeeding has been around for a very long time. Darwin has nothing to do with Hitler's notions.
I have some disagreement with Darwinian evolution. That has nothing to do with how ridiculous this line of argument is.
Hitler hated Jews and non-Germans. The hate came first, the justification came later. Blaming evolution for the Holocaust is utterly absurd and stupid.
Logical fallacy of "argument from adverse consequences". Whether or not Darwin inspired Hitler has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the scientific theory of evolution is true.
If you really want to go down the argument from adverse consequences route consider this: The words "evolution" and "Darwin" appear absolutely nowhere in Hitler's speeches. On the other hand Hitler made numerous references to "God". When attempting to galvanise the German people Hitler didn't invoke evolution, he invoked their Christian faith, and exploited the long-standing religiously inspired hatred of Jews. By your logic (which I personally don't endorse) we should distrust Christianity, as it is tainted by association with Nazism.

Evolution, a theory facing imminent collapse every year since 1859. That particular prediction is getting old.
Beep. Circle takes the square. Hitler believed the superior Aryan race already existed. He was attempting to prevent it from interbreeding with "lesser" races through the process of exterminating those races. Hitler's beliefs actually stem from a form of Theosophy that held one race (the Aryans) were created by God and other races came about by other means. It was imperative in this philosophy that God's race not be contaminated in any way.
So, to make a long story short, Hitler wasn't trying to breed a race of supermen, he was trying to keep it from breeding with anyone else.
Animal and plant breeders gave Darwin the idea for evolution; not the other way round.
Do you suppose no one bred plants and animals before Darwin?
