Yes, I am well aware that Stalin considered scientists to be enemies of the state, but he fully embraced eugenics.

I'm not even sure if that is true-- he believed in the theories of Lysenko, who rejected Darwinian evolution and believed that people and animals coud acquire new traits that they would pass down to their descendants. Hence his ideas of developing a new homo sovieticus. In any event, eugenics and Darwinian evolution are not the same thing.

But, if it makes you feel better, we can remove Stalin’s name from my list, we still have a minimum of over 960 MILLION deaths in less than a century.

Can you cite an example of Hitler quoting Darwin? Because I can cite many examples of him quoting the New Testament.

I've never said they were.

Can you cite an example of Hitler quoting Darwin?

This is not a quote of Darwin's words, just his theory:

"The Germans were the higher race, destined for a glorious evolutionary future. For this reason it was essential that the Jews should be segregated, otherwise mixed marriages would take place. Were this to happen, all nature's efforts to establish an evolutionary higher stage of being may thus be rendered futile."

Do you deny that Hitler believed in eugenics?

Lysenko... believed that people and animals coud acquire new traits that they would pass down to their descendants.

That's exactly what Darwin believed.

Because I can cite many examples of him [Hitler] quoting the New Testament.

Are you admitting that you fell for it?

Because Satan quoted the Old Testament to Jesus, who quoted other Scriptures back, showing Satan to be in error, and ended up by telling Satan to go pound sand.

Cheers!
