Hey, we are just reviewing your evo-religious buds over at Science. Indeed, one of the things Creationists and IDers appreciate about the Temple of Darwin is that they make our job so easy :op

On March 14, 44 BC Julius Caesar proposed that Roman schools teach the controversy: teach both Greco-Roman Pagan Creationism alongside Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Brutus, a fanatic Darwinist and tenured professor of Marxist Zoology at the University of Brundisium stabbed him the next day.

This has nothing to do with the Theory of Evolution or the process of evolution.

Pinning everything bad in the world on your opponents is an old tactic.

Actually, it was a "review" of an abstract from Nature because they're too cheap to pay for the full article, but this notion of social Darwinism was around LOOOOOOOOOONG before the Theory of Evolution and even Darwin himself.

From the full:

The reformers had to find hope in On the Origin of Species. And they did, but their most optimistic interpretations were based on a handful of mistranslations, themselves based on a series of misunderstandings. (Westerners leapt to these misunderstandings as well — without the benefit of mistranslations.)

.....ya don't need the Theory of Evolution....a BIOLOGICAL Theory....to go 'splaining why you're gonna purposely kill off the weak in your country or take any other social actions with the ruse/excuse of making it stronger.

More:

Subtle errors of translation, however, went with them: "natural selection" came out as "natural elimination"; the "survival of the fittest" became the "superior survive and the inferior are defeated"; and, causing the most confusion of all, "evolution" became jinhua lun, "the theory of progressive change". Strictly speaking, Darwin did not prove that evolution led to progress; to this day, that mistranslation makes it hard to discuss evolution in Chinese. As Confucius said: "If terms are not correct, discourse is difficult."

Anyone can pervert a book or notion to suit their needs. (hint hint)
