The fact is that Darwinism was used to rationalize traditional racial bigotry and give it a “scientific” basis. And that’s just fine with you? You don’t care that so-called “science” was used to justify bigotry? Just what the hell is your point — or are you just throwing sand?

So has God and Christ been used to justify bigotry

My point is that guilt by association is a stupid debate tactic. Is Nuclear fission discredited because we dropped two nukes on Japan? Is the Bible discredited because people have used it unjustly as a reason for racism?

My point is that NOBODY can come up with a SINGLE pronouncement made in PUBLIC where a Nazi leader used Evolutionary rhetoric to inflame hatred against Jews. Therefore when speaking of what justification was used to “sell” the Nazis on the idea of the Holocaust it might be important to listen to the actual words used in public by their leaders when speaking to them about why they hated Jews. Not what secrets might have lain deep in their heart, the actual words to justify mass murder. It seems Hitler spoke about avenging “the blood upon the cross” many times in public to Nazis, and never said “Darwin told me we need to kill Jews”.

So can you come up with a single speech or pamphlet that contemporaneously links Evolutionary theory with Jew hatred. It sure seems easy to find speeches, pamphlets and news-articles published and spoken by Nazi leaders where they used “Christian” rhetoric to inflame Jew hatred.

My other point is that the Nazi's were from a long line of Jew killers, and Jew killing went on for a looooooong time in Europe before Darwin ever published his theory. Seems nobody needed the “evolutionary excuse” for Jew hatred in history, why would the Nazi's require it? Neither has anyone provided a single example where they used it.

So my point is that your argument is stupid on its face, unbacked up by evidence, and that the Nazi's were more influenced by historic Jew hatred and their twisted version of Christianity (as supported by the historic record) than they ever were by any Scientific theory.

It is you who is throwing sand, mud and feces and seeing what will stick. So far you've got nothing.

Can you provide a single Public quote of a Nazi leader using Evolutionary rhetoric to inflame Jew hatred?

............................?????

Can you? A single example?
