While the evolutionists on the thread are correct to refute "guilt-by-association", Nazi policies in the 30's and 40's are a very logical unpacking of Darwinian doctrine consistently applied.

Its "guilt-by-association," but you agree with it.

Anti-evolutionists can't refute "Darwinism" on its own merits, so they have to restort to "guilt-by-association"?

Lets get back to the real issue; how do you refute this?

actually, it isn't so much "guilt by association" as it is a case of "argument from adverse consequences"

and a rather weak example of that particular fallacy, to boot.
