The NAZI’s made regular use of Newton's Laws of Motion and his calculus to figure rocket and artillery trajectories, machine design, and military and concentration camp structurctures. They owe more debt to Newton than Darwin. Are we now supposed to equate Newton with NAZI’s? ID’ers are simply nuts.

Yep. Stein reminds me of those DUmmies who trot out goofball conspiracy theories about how the fact that Dubya's grandpa did business with Germany in the 1930s proves that Dubya is part of some neo-Nazi cabal.

Dear LoneRangerMassachusetts,

Your critique is wide of the mark.

As Klinghoffer writes:

“Much the same view has been propounded elsewhere. Once again here at Jewcy, Jay Michaelson seemed to argue that all science is by definition value-neutral: ‘Last I checked, Hitler also made use of automobiles. Indeed, he based a lot of ideas on militarism and machines; does that mean technology is morally wrong? Should you turn off your computer right now?’

“No, Jay, there are obvious differences between Darwinian theory and auto and computer technology. Most important, the latter make no claims to answering ultimate questions, like how life originated, from which ethical corollaries are naturally drawn.”

Did you bother to read the actual article?

No, your analogy is nuts.
Nazis viewed the world in terms of competing races. This racial theory was born of Darwin, Herbert Spencer, and Wilhelm Marr.
I no of no philosophical construct borne of Newtonian Physics.
