In essence, you're agreeing with me that the Theory of Evolution does have moral implications. And, when we're confronted with something like Social Darwinism, it's pretty obvious that "science" cannot provide a moral basis on which to decide on whether or not Social Darwinism (or, more to the point of this article, Nazi eugenics theory) is morally acceptable.

I completely agree with this statement. It's not the job of science to provide a moral basis, only to discover and interpret data.
Blaming the theory evolution for what Hitler did is like pushing your grandmother down the stairs and blaming the theory of gravitation. Just doesn't make any sense. Scientific observations don't validate anyone's bad behavior.
