Now now, let's post what you actually said to avoid the disingenous evasiveness that you posit now...
Natural selection is an established fact and can be readily observed in nature over as little as a few generations.
"Sounds a lot like National Socialism to me... "
Ahhh, no. What I said was that it is inaccurate to try to tag evolution with ANY statements about how things began. It speaks only to the development of species(On the Origin of Species) and the human species in particular(The Descent of Man). You read the rest into it. If you want to compare the behaviour of the animal and plant kingdoms with National Socialism you are advised that I will not be participating in that exercise.
All I was doing was taking your "natural selection as fact" statement and attributing it most correctly to the REAL philosophy that it supports. The philosophy of "might makes right," or "survival of the fittest," the "uber-man," the law of the jungle, and all of the other names of tyranny and oppression that "natural selection" goes by.
The fact is, if you are uncomfortable with what "natural selection" truly stands for, then that discomfort is your problem. Lunatics like Hitler who made a form of "natural selection" a centerpiece of National SOCIALISM and used the "superiority" of the Aryan race as an excuse for human extermination.

http://www.noDNC.comNatural selection is not a philosophy, it is a mechanism that can be observed in nature. No one called me to ask my opinion about it and I don't think it is subject to opinion anyway. You might want to acquaint youself with the difference between natural selection as an observable part of the natural world and the political notion commonly called social Darwinism. Since the first is an observable fact of nature and the second a set of policies, I don't think I understand your compulsion to confuse the two.
