"In the early history of the race, so-called "natural law" reigned undisturbed. Under its pitiless and unsympathetic iron rule, only the strongest, most courageous could live and become progenitors of the race. The weak died early or were killed. Today, however, civilization has brought sympathy, pity, tenderness and other lofty and worthy sentiments, which interfere with the law of natural selection. We are now in a state where our charities, our compensation acts, our pensions, hospitals, and even our drainage and sanitary equipment all tend to keep alive the sickly and the weak, who are allowed to propagate and in turn produce a race of degenerates."
Margaret Sanger"They [secular humanists] have reduced Man to even less than his natural finiteness by seeing him only as a complex arrangement of molecules, made complex by blind chance. Instead of seeing him as something great who is significant even in his sinning, they see Man in his essence only as an intrinsically competitive animal, that has no other basic operating principle than natural selection brought about by the strongest, the fittest, ending on top. And they see Man as acting in this way both individually and collectively as society."
Francis Schaeffer
Evolution provides a rational, scientific basis for genocide that makes effette intellectuals feel better about themselves after a hard day's barbarity. Picture Ghengis Khan in a white lab coat and horn-rimmed glasses.
People who defend evolution are ultimately defending the likes of Margaret Sanger and Peter Singer. After all, it's much easier for some of our evolutionist friends here to provide intellectual affirmation to butchers than it is to do the dirty work themselves.

More quotes that link Darwinist thought to Nazi execution (in Hitler's and Sanger's own words, no less) in a later post.
Sanger and Singer can go to hell for all I care. People here are not so much defending evolution, as they are objecting to religious dogma, myth and crank wackiness, being presented as scientific theories. You can expect the same reaction if the ID nuts ever decide to start teaching that the earth is the center of the universe or that it is only 6-10,000 years old. Or that angels--oops! I mean Invisible Agents of an Intelligent Designer, hold airplanes aloft and make them fly.

It's much easier for Creationists and ID dupes to try their darnedest to link a scientific theory that their interpretation of the Bible clashes with, to atrocities like the Holocaust, or outright lie and call people that are not anti-science, leftist liberals...than it is for them to do some actual research and tests and produce some papers or fossil predictions, DNA marker predictions, ANYTHING, that points to Intelligent Design being a workable theory.
Instead all they produce is whiny press release after press release and hold conference after conference.
