Shirley, you cannot have forgotten the last time this was pointed out to you.
This is a valid point. I cannot say that the penchant for communists to adopt evolutionism thereby invalidates theories of evolution. Communism exists and is widely recognized as a legitimate form of government. Evolutionism exists and is widely recognized as a legitimate world view. Do you suppose the two just randomly decided to walk hand in hand?
But we're not talking about a "potential" misapplication here, are we? It really happened, and it can be fairly well verified that millions of people lost their lives as a result.
How would you describe the relationship between evolutionism, communism, and the general welfare of the citizenry under the same? Would you say there is no relationship whatsoever?
Might be, but evolution explicitly condones eugenics and the destruction of entire races. This is not a misapplication.
