Oh I don't know, Marx, Stalin, and Hitler found a lot of usefulness for the theory of evolution. Especially Marx, in fact he wanted to dedicate the 2nd volume of Das Capital (one of the pillars of world communism) to Charles Darwin. Darwin refused this dubious honor though.

Would you like to see how many times the KKK, slaveowners, and other distasteful groups approvingly cited the Bible as support for their positions?

Now, would you like to discuss the actual science, or would you like to keep playing sleazy and inexcusable "slur by association" games? Your behavior is completely unworthy of a conservative -- that's the kind of thing the liberals do.

Unfortunately for Soviet agriculture and science, Stalin didn't accept standard biological evolution and genetics and instead used the power of the state to enforce a false theory, Lysenkoism.

This is incorrect. Volume 2 of Das Capital was published by Engels in 1893, a year after Marx's death and 11 years after the death of Darwin.

Socialist William Jennings Bryan found a lot of usefulness for the theory of creationism. Especially in his political campaigns, he went from being a nobody to being thrice nominated for President of the United States. He also turned the Democrat party economic beliefs from just mildly leftist to pure Marxist, in fact he was the leader of the movement to abolish the gold standard and have the government regulate all buisnesses. (one of the pillars of world socialism). He was the father of modern creationism and created all your talking points about "Darwinists". Creationists ignore this dubious honor though.
