"Hitler claimed to be a Christian as an adult. He never claimed to be a “Darwinist”.

Hitler identified as a Christian only when it suited his political means, just as the atheist Stalin during WWII proclaimed himself "Protector of the Church" even as he worked to destroy it.

The facts are that Hitler soon after taking power, began to undercut Christianity and hoped to distort it to his own ends. He outlawed religious education for youth and banned crucifixes and spoke openly of preserving the outward traditions of Christianity while corrupting Christianity from the inside out.

He repeatedly evoked Darwin and natural selection in his racial schemes and to suggest otherwise is simply being historically ignorant.

Obviously Darwin doesn't equal Hitler....but Darwin certainly makes room for Hitler.

As did the printing press, the invention of gunpowder, the internal combustion engine, etc.

This is the flimiest of arguments imaginable.

Taking a preceding body of science and linking it to a hateful ideology is an utter smear attempt.

I'll ask again. If evolution led to Nazi Germany, and it's even more widely-accepted today, why do not Nazis rule the world? They don't, and cute answers ducking the question won't count.

Can you point to a Hitler quote mentioning Darwin?
