"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.

If you don't understand "does not equal" I don't know how I can help you. I didn't say that it automatically follows. I thought I made that clear. What I will say is that Darwinian evolution cannot be intellectually reconciled with the concept "...All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights."

It certainly can. Evolution doesn't deal with the origin of life. Perhaps some scientists who believe in evolution dabble in it, but the Theory doesn't even try to address the origin of life.

There is nothing inconsistent with believing in the Creator and understanding evolution. Nothing.

“What I will say is that Darwinian evolution cannot be intellectually reconciled with the concept “...All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.””

Yes it can. For one, Darwin never even used the term “survival of the fittest”. Darwin dealt with the biological mechanisms that cause changes in species. IE some mutations increase a species chances of survival. The “all men are created equal” concept is a societal contruct and has nothing to do with biology. The framers were talking about equal rights being God given not equal biologic chances of survival. You don’t really think the framers really believed that a child born retarded has just as good a chance of surviving and thriving as a child born brilliant do you? The framers asserted that all people are created with the same rights to go and try to survive and thrive. Its apples and oranges.

A good question to ask is: why were so many prominent Darwinians involved in eugenic organizations, pushing eugenics both nationally and internationally? You can read about it on my FR page.
