You wrote, "Basically Nietchze said "God is dead" and made the case for tying Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest to mankind..."
No, he didn't, not in any of his works, anywhere. While it is true he proclaimed the death of God--or rather, the pointlessness of a belief in God, Nietzsche argued against Darwinism, wondering--if evolution was true--why the human stock seems to be degrading rather than advancing.

N. proclaimed the death of God as you say.
As for Darwin, N. made the case for Darwin inadvertantly thru applying much of Darwin's theory to social rather than biological behavior.
