So what you're saying is that while Stalin reject Darwin's Theory of evolution, he mandated evolution itself. I'm going to make a wild guess that the reason for outlawing genetics is the fact that Mendel used it to show that evolution was false.

Uh, no. Stalin mandated a failed biological teaching that ran contrary to Darwin's theory of evolution. Lysenko might have called it "evolution", but it has nothing in common with the actual theory of evolution.

I'm going to make a wild guess that the reason for outlawing genetics is the fact that Mendel used it to show that evolution was false.

And the facts do not bear out your claim regarding Stalin's reasoning.

I understand that a lot of creationists really want Darwin's theory of evolution to be an underlying foundation for socialism, communism, fascism or a host of other "bad things", but just because they want there to be guilt by association does not mean that such guilt actually exists.
