Hitller piggy-backed on Darwin just as thoroughly as Christian anti-semites piggy-back on replacement theology. Does Darwinism lead inexorably to Naziism? No, but it provided a marvelous accelerant for pyromaniacs like Hitler. Kennedy is making the point that the accelerant is still around, and some folks are still exploiting it..

When one states as a starting point that humankind is the result of impersonal random events, it's pretty hard to square that with "All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights." Maybe Jefferson was right, maybe Darwin was right, but one of them has to be wrong, they outlined mutually contradictory ideas.

While one sympathizes with his personal difficult experiences with "Christians," Foxman has enormous gaps in his education. and is not capable of an intelligent conversation on the subject of Christian theology.

He focuses on the complicated ancestral babblings of Mel Gibson and his demented Dad, and ignores real viiolence and murder done and plotted against Jews. To borrow and re-cast a phrase of Golda Meier: Foxman will become effective when his love for Jews surpasses his bitterness toward Christians.

thank you for your intelligent and open minded post in 547.

I will add that evolution does not deny a god that created the universe or the physical laws that leads to evolution.

Further evolution does not deny that men should have inalienable rights or that they are created equal under the law of the land.
