Even if this were true (which IMO it is not), it is the argument known as guilt by association.

It’s not a serious argument. It is a logical fallacy and has no bearing on the scientific validity of the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory.

The only way to disprove evolutionary theory is through science.

It is like arguing that Newtonian physics is wrong because the Nazis used principles of it to bomb London.

I assume this means that you have scientific validation of the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory that does not rely on logical fallacy? I'm interested. What is it?

"The only way to disprove evolutionary theory is through science."

Let's see your scientifically valid proof of evolution that does not rely on logical fallacy.
