Darwinism was very congenial to Bismarck's Germany, and Macht macht recht was the motif of the Germany that invaded Belgium. What the leaders of the Reich shared with the leaders of American industry was a paternalism that led to the creation of the welfare state in Germany and to philanthropy in America. Marxism was simply another ideology of power.

What are you trying to say? That Darwinism is bad because Germany was like Marxism? Darwinism is bad because Germany was more fit than Belgium and that's why they invaded? Maybe you should actually say what you mean instead of insinuating a bunch of random garbage.

Anyway, like I already said, Hitler was a Creationist Christian. So what? That doesn't prove that Creationism is wrong. The tons of evidence in the world around us proves it is wrong. Even though Hitler used his Creationist beliefs to kill millions of people, saying that Creationism is therefore evil is a logical fallacy. It would be just like saying that the Theory of Relativity is evil because it leads to Da Bomb, which is also not necessarily evil, although people like you probably think it is. Saying Creationism is evil because of Hitler the same logical fallacy as saying astronomy is evil because it means the earth isn't really the center of the universe or that Germ Theory is evil because it leads to the ideas of biological warfare.
