"From what I know, Stalin seemed a little more threatened by the Christians than the Medelian geneticists."
He had Mendelians killed.
"No one seemed to be too worried about their reading Darwin."
He had those teaching natural selection imprisoned or killed.
"No political conflict between Darwin and tyranny - in fact, the two naturally fit together. Big political conflict between Jesus and tyranny."
Evolution has nothing to do with political theories. On the other hand, theocracies (tyrannies) have been established in the name of Christ.
"When man's existence is deemed to be a result of random genetic mutations with the fittest surviving, all bets are off. The above words are meaningless."
Says you.
To stick to the point I made, Stalin was against natural selection and against Mendelain genetics. That's a fact. He had supporters of both persecuted/killed (under the influence of Lysenko). Stop jumping all over the place and stay on topic.

Stick to the point you made?
The only point you have made, is that you are neither a scientist nor a historian, or if you are.., a poor showing for them in the cause of evo.
Darwinistic-Evo cultism.., a pseudo-science, another rivulet of humanity run into the desert of illusion. It is a powerful illusion that has seduced many a mind.
