So when someone points out that Stalin's authoritzed 1940 biography published in Moscow has him crediting Darwin with giving him the confidence to be an atheist, or that history professor has written a book showing Darwin's influence on the zeitgeist of Nazi Germany, you feel justified in attacking?

These attacks are on the theory of evolution by stretching the truth and attempting to link either evolutionists or the theory to some of history's nastiest folks.

It is the equivalent of tying your beliefs into Jim Jones in order to discredit you and your beliefs.

Read the threads.

To a degree I see your point. I personally have no theological problem with theistic evolution, and I have no personal problem with skeptics who accept and keep Christian values.

However, it appears undeniable that the evolution was used as an excuse to reject our foundational values leading to some of the most horroific events in the history of man, so regardless as to the extent of its influence on biodiversity it is important to keep in mind that there is a value system which far transcends it and someone to which we will be held accountable for our acts.

Hitler gets thrown at us a lot, although less and less it seems with Weikert's book and the release of the OSS papers showing his plans for Christianity.
