BB, of course Hitler wasn't a Christian. But as that quote illustrates, he used Christian doctrines, sometimes, whenever it suited his purposes. Presumably he did the same with any other doctrines to justify his actions. That's why it's useless to try to pin the blame on evolution (or anything else) for the things that he did. My point -- which didn't get through at all -- was just that. And only that. Sorry if I upset you. But I count for something too, and it upsets me to see a mere scientific theory get the blame for the evil that men do. Now I'm going to drop the subject. At least for now. We still buddies?

We still buddies? Sure we are, PH! We can have our little disagreements and still be friends. No problem!

Well said. -- But of course evil is still being done by using hyped up 'theory' as a political weapon to inflame emotions..
This effort will never stop. And it must be countered..
