So I am supposed to take creationists at their word about what a movement they don’t understand and despise is really all about?

I fail to see what a person's views on creation vs. evolution has to do with the understanding of eugenics.

When they cannot even get through a paragraph without lies about Hitler and a lame attempt to make a evolution = Hitler formulation?

What LIE have I told? The manifestation of Hitler's Darwinism has NOTHING to do with the theory of evolution.

At the CORE of Darwin’s theory is that there are variations within a population and variations that will arise within a population, and that those variations that lead to favorable reproductive outcomes will predominate in subsequent generations.

No, these are at the core of the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution is but a component of Darwinism. People often fail to realize that he Darwin family's work went far beyond the first half of the 19th century, by the late 1800s many of them had totally abandoned any pretense of science in favor of pure eugenics.

You fail. You fail to see.

What lie? I never said YOU lied - I said the article you posted lied - the very first paragraph.

Hitler was not a Darwinist - he was a Creationist who believed in fixed kinds and that his race was in the image of God.

The theory of evolution is the intellectual contribution of Darwin to the world. It is the only biological explanation for diversity of species, the diversity of humanity, the rise of antibiotic resistance, and any number of other biological phenomena.

That nutcases on both sides try to make of this simple theory an overarching philosophy of everything doesn’t change Darwin’s central contribution to science or discredit the use of that theory for further discovery fun and profit.
