"To put it simply, no Darwin, no Hitler," said Dr. D. James Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries.
No wonder these guys are Creationists. With cognitive skills like that, one would fall for anything.
And you can't ever blame one man for another's actions. That once was a proud conservative precept.
These men aren't conservatives.
Have they advocated killing those who don't agree with them?
Not sure about the rest of the article, but they nailed this part correctly.

"It argues there should be no separation of church and state.
Thus it's America's Taliban, America's Shiite theocracy."
Ridiculous. We DON'T have seperation of church and state, so the author is saying we are already the "Taliban", in his eyes.
And why he chooses to pick on some "never-heard-of" little group in Florida, I have no idea, especially when Imams are preaching hate in destruction right here in our own cities.
This idiot writer can get bent.
Oh, and by the way, any valid points that the author had about the Darwin-Hitler link (which, I agree, is way too much of a stretch) went right out the window when he used the "Taliban" reference to refer to Coral Ridge. Coral Ridge Ministries doesn't go around chopping off hands or executing those that disagree with them.
Basically, using the "Taliban" reference when referring to conservative Christians should be a corollary to Godwin's Law--invoke it, you automatically lose the argument. He did, and he lost.

What a cr@ppy article.
That said, Darwin would have been appalled at the application of evolution theory to human society. "Social Darwinism" is no Darwinism at all. HE opposed the idea the use of his idea for eugenics.

The Nazis were not alone in this -- Margaret Sanger was another notable devotee -- but the Nazis did have their "racial theories," and they attempted to put them into practice.
I've been reminded many times that the theory of evolution has no moral implications. But of course -- like any scientific theory -- it does. And as the nastier aspects of "Social Darwinism" have made clear, the moral implications of evolution can be rather uncomfortable.
If it wasn't for Einstein, we wouldn't have to worry about North Korea and Iran right now.
DAMN YOU EINSTEIN!
Of course, RATs are great at attacking other Americans.
I don't know about a direct connection between Darwinism and Hitler, but Darwinism, or the atheistic fundamentals undergirding it, led to the taking over of our schools and universities, because these people who have done this, and it started in the 19th century, think they can bring about a Utopia by programming the minds of students.
The idea is to play down individualism and maximise social dynamics, so as to create the ideal world, in which everybody gets along.
In the process they've thrown out the Judeo-Christian foundation of western society, not to mention freedom. That's why they get along so well with the Muslim crazies.
David Kupelian points this out in his book, "The Marketing of Evil"

Brummet is the biggest idiot editorialist I've ever read, and that goes a long way. Everything he writes is so full of logical holes it is as if the man writes Swiss cheese.
"You can't equate a thinker and a madman, or science and crime."
Tell that to The Max Planck Society.
Anyone who would equate these people with the Taliban is a blithering, no-nothing idiot.
More like no Nietzche no Hitler but even here the case is indirect & sloppy. I have read that something like half the German soldiers in the trenches of WWI had read Nietzche's The Twilight of the Gods. Whereas a similiar percentage of allied soldiers had read the bible. As I said, this isn't much to go on.
What can be said of Nietzche is that there is probably no American football coach who has ever quoted Nietche in a half time pep talk. (Or Feuerbach, Or Marx, or Hegel. Most college students in my time would read on the bathroom walls "Ghengis Khan. Immauel Kant.")
Its amazing to watch those here who love Darwin just pounce on this and not even have watched the show. Ann Coultier did a great job of explaining this link and why its there.
So now the MSM is trying to create November as a referendum on christianity.
Islamic Facists good, all christianity bad. (and by extention jewish faith becaue former is based on the later)
So first it was just marriage amendments are sponsored by radical christains.
Now ALL bad things are christian.
According to this artricle, it does. It opens by saying that positing an influence from Darwin to Hitler frees Hitler of fault.
Then again, emotional impact always did make better eliminationist propaganda than reason, as you-know-who could attest.
