***What systems are based on evolution. Be specific.***



Sir Arthur Keith was a British anthropologist, an atheistic evolutionist and an anti-Nazi, but he drew this chilling conclusion:

‘To see evolutionary measures and tribal morality being applied rigorously to the affairs of a great modern nation, we must turn again to Germany of 1942. We see Hitler devoutly convinced that evolution produces the only real basis for a national policy … . The German Führer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution.’

“Satanism is a blatantly selfish, brutal philosophy. It is based on the belief that human beings are inherently selfish, violent creatures, that life is a Darwinian struggle for survival of the fittest, that only the strong survive and the earth will be ruled by those who fight to win the ceaseless competition that exists in all jungles—including those of urbanized society.”

Burton H. Wolfe, Author and priest in the Church of Satan. Introduction of “The Satanic Bible”, San Francisco, December 25, 1976

Both Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were evolutionists before they encountered Darwin's "The Origin of Species" - (Dec 12, 1859) Engels wrote to Marx: "Darwin who I am now reading, is splendid" (Morris 1989, 83 quoting Zirkle). Like Darwin, "Marx thought he had discovered the law of development. He saw history in stages, as the Darwinists saw geological strata and successive forms of life... In keeping with the feelings of the age, both Marx and Darwin made struggle the means of development" (Morris 1989, 83 quoting Borzin). "There was truth in Engel's eulogy on Marx: 'Just as Darwin had discovered the law of evolution in organic nature so Marx discovered the law of evolution in human history'" (Morris 1989, 83 quoting Himmelfarb).

"It is commonplace that Marx felt his own work to be the exact parallel of Darwin's. He even wished to dedicate a portion of Das Kapital to the author of The Origin of Species" (Morris 1989, 83 quoting Barzum). Indeed, Marx wished to dedicate parts of his famous book to Darwin but "Darwin 'declined the honor' because, he wrote to Marx, he did not know the work, he did not believe that direct attacks on religion advanced the cause of free thought, and finally because he did not want to upset 'some members of my family'" (Morris 1989, 83 quoting Jorafsky).

Other Soviet Communist leaders are evolutionists as well. Lenin, Trostsky, and Stalin were all atheistic evolutionists. A soviet think tank founded in 1963 developed a one-semester course in "Scientific Atheism" which was introduced in 1964. Also, a case can be made that Darwinism was influential in propagating communism in China.

Some have suggested that the bloodthirsty deeds of Stalin were an ‘aberration’ from the revolution’s ideals. However, it was Lenin, the ‘father’ of the Russian revolution, who ‘perfected the science of mass killings,’ and total, merciless brutality as the ultimate method of political control.4 Evolution was the chief tool used to brainwash communism’s masses into ‘scientific atheism.’ If everything just evolved, then everything is at the whim of the most powerful, and there is no Maker to whom to be answerable. Hence Stalin’s belief that killing millions of people was no worse than mowing your lawn (grass is our cousin in evolutionary doctrine).

Mao’s reign of terror and lies resulted in the deaths of tens of millions. It is no coincidence that his two favorite books were by the evolutionists Darwin and Huxley. With millions dying from his forced famine, his physician records that Mao said, ‘We have so many people we can afford to lose a few.’5 His successors have since persecuted and killed hundreds of thousands more.

As you say "atheistic evolutionist and an anti-Nazi". Is that a good authority?

Escpecally when devout Christian anti-Darwininans like Father Coughlin, Reverend William Bell Riley, and Reverend Gerald Windrod said nice things about Hitler and noted no such evolutionist tendencies.

Uh, yeah, Jerry Bergman is a phony whose writings (and finger pointing) on issues of racism and discrimination are about as dependable as those of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

He claims...

Leading Nazis, and early 1900 influential German biologists, revealed in their writings that Darwin’s theory and publications had a major influence upon Nazi race policies.

But if you actually read Hitler and other leading Nazis you find that, although they did indeed appeal at times to (a naive and superficial version of) Darwinism, it was to argue for their doctrines of militarism.

Nazi racism was actually based not on scientific doctrines but on (a mystical version of) creationism. Read Alfred Rosenberg's The Myth of the Twentieth Century. Rosenberg, the Nazis' most important philosopher of race, asserts that each race is created with a unique "soul," giving each race specific tendencies, attributes and geniuses. (The genius of the Aryan race was supposedly conquest and enslavement of lesser races.) Hitler echoes these views in Mein Kampf and in his speeches.

The Nazi selective breeding ideas Bergman refers to were NOT based on any Darwinian scheme for evolving or improving the race. Rather their purpose was to RESTORE the lost "purity" of the "blood" which carried the racial "soul". None of this nonsense has a damn thing to do with Darwin.

Again, Darwin was appealed to in a cartoonish way in arguing for militarism, in that the brutality of warfare would supposedly "select" the dominate races. But still this was secondary to awaking the "natural" tendency of the Aryan "blood" toward the conquest and rule of lesser races, a tendency installed therein by the Creator.

I take it that you agree with Sir Arthur Keith and believe that Germany conformed with the theory of evolution? If so, can you explain exactly how this was? Explain, in your own words, how Germany in Hitler's time was made to "conform to the theory of evolution".

You can't be serious!

You made an assertion that systems based on evolution cause people to be treated like animals then in response to a question you go off on some tangential trip through a list of putative evolutionists who were evil men whom grasped at the nearest idea, validly or not, that allowed them to justify what was already in their hearts as if that was a reflection of evolution or the ToE.

It sounds like you have a misapprehension of the meaning of 'survival of the 'fittest'.

On top of that, you didn't answer the question - what systems are based on evolution?
