In his book, From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany (2004), Richard Weikart explains the revolutionary impact Darwinism had on ethics and morality. Darwinism played a key role in the rise not only of eugenics (a movement wanting to control human reproduction to improve the human species), but also on euthanasia, infanticide, abortion, and racial extermination. This was especially important in Germany, since Hitler built his view of ethics on Darwinian principles. [11/2004] [Show ID: 8987]

Weikart's book is rather atrocious to those that are familiar with the primary sources... Weikart simply reads into them the prejudices he has been conditioned with. parade example for eisegesis and 'reading out of context'. And well. even if his premises were true... it would still be a moralistic fallacy (It's bad, that's because it can't be true), but that's exactly where Weikart has a problem: With the basics of logic... which raises the question, what his relationship with Logos is.

@@crabb9966 Well, Guess one got to deal with Morality/Ethics and Empirical/Logical issues separately. If you can't do that, you are not up to the task. And it's a common problem. Must time wasting debates run around that issue. Well, Weikart's writings demonstrate how relative Morality towards POV is. He doesn't even get it separated himself that's how deep he is into it (Hence commits the moralistic fallacy, knowing fully well that this argumentation will be accepted by large sections of the audience). That doesn't actually mean that there isn't an objective Ethics, which can have an issue with accessibility, though. If Darwin was wrong (and I realize there are problems), why not address this way? Why try to come up with obscure insinuation of how 'dangerous' his idea is?

Francis Schaeffer wrote a book "How Should We Then Believe?" On page 200, Schaeffer quoted Edmund Leach, anthropologist at Cambridge University. Leach said that originally there were TWO theories of evolution. The one we are taught is that the human race began at one place at one time. The second theory has been suppressed by academia: the human race began in various places at different times. Since, according to Leach, this means that one branch of the human race is more advanced than another (because it started earlier), and because that branch that started first would be the most advanced, this would lead to racism. Because this other theory leads to bad political consequences, it was abandoned, and we are only taught the theory that the human race all began at one time in one place. Frankly, if vertical evolution really does happen, it would seem that it would occur at different times and at different places. Even before Hitler, according to the New World Encyclopedia article on William Jennings Bryan who opposed teaching evolution in public schools in the famous "Scopes/Monkey Trial", Germans thought they were a master race. Some German officers in WW1 were interviewed, and this sentiment was expressed by many of the educated officer class. Someone said Hitler had no original thoughts but simply assembled what was already in circulation.

Why do these not end up accumulating over time - "genetic drift" should result in neutral mutations (those not increasing or decreasing the survival chances of an organism) will either spread through the population until they are fixed (in 100% of them) or be wiped out, do you get that? If there was no natural selection, all genes would be neutral, but why wouldn't they accumulate by drift?

Michael Harris progress into genetics halted upon darwinism. Carl Linneaus and Gregor Mendal did more in 300 years because they were Christian and saught to understand the "kinds" God created using the bible as their guide. Evolution has proved nothing and provided nothing. Even now as science EVOLVES while, ironically, evolution still doesn't acknowledge it has been proven wrong through epigenetics. Epigenetics only reinforces Mendal's teachings of gene variety and gene activation. Variation is not evolution. Denying and dismissing evidence that shows progress is anti-evolution. I'm not even a creationist, but I'm not an evolutionist anymore. Questioning everything I've every known and was taught shed light on everything.

And looked at the paradigms of science and that the public do not yet realise that Darwin's theory is dead. The internet speeded my awakening as I'm sure it'll do for many others.

@earlysda Hitler rejected Darwin in private conversations, in his public pronouncements, and ultimately banned Darwin by law in 1935. Hitler's references to a creator are common. He wasn't a Darwinist, he was a creationist, like Moses, who invented genocide, like Innocent lll, and his genocide in Languedoc, like Sigismund and his genocide in Bohemia. like Theodora.and her genocide in Armenia.

The first inquisition was against the Albegencies, it lasted 10 years - an entire people were obliterated and their writings burned. Even the reformers were rough on the biblical Christians, they called them anibaptists because they "baptized again" not believing in infant baptism. It's a fascinating study. We are fortunate to live in a free country where religion is not dictated by the state. Point being-evangelicals and Romanists are not the same.

It showed earth millions of years in the future, how certain strange animals would be likely to evolve, etc. One thing always missing from these speculations: PEOPLE. It's always assumed that we will be extinct by then. They don't account for the fact that we can and will survive, especially because we are now armed with knowledge about evolution, selection, etc.

The reason for disparity is that some people are incredibly productive and that others are not though. This is particularly true with regards to farmers in the west, where agriculture is developed to the point where a single farmer can do the work of many thousands, if not millions, of people in earlier times. Nobody has to defend their right to their own production as it would not exist at all without them. The only question is why poor countries fail to organize themselves and improve.

The quote, from Mein Kampf, is taken out of context. The last sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph says: "The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and if he does so it is merely because he is of a feebler nature and narrower mind; for if such a law did not direct the process of evolution then the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable at all." In other words, as can be seen in this quote and many others, clearly Hitler believed in Darwinian evolution and thus was not a creationist. Essentially what Hitler was saying in his statement about the fox, goose, and tiger, is that a "fox" that loses the characteristics of foxes is no longer a fox, etc., and thus he was preaching against allowing his "superior" arian race to breed with those of "lesser" races, as can be seen from the following quote, also from the immediately preceding paragraph of the fox/goose/tiger quote in question: "Every crossing between two breeds which are not quite equal results in a product which holds an intermediate place between the levels of the two parents. This means that the offspring will indeed be superior to the parent which stands in the biologically lower order of being, but not so high as the higher parent. For this reason it must eventually succumb in any struggle against the higher species. Such mating contradicts the will of Nature towards the selective improvements of life in general." Anyone who would consider Hitler a creationist, or a Christian for that matter is, to borrow a phrase from Dawkins, "ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)."

@@kevinmark6180 well but I don’t see why this should be darwinistic (Though I know what you mean) but he couldn’t really thought high about Darwinism because evolution is a phenomenon and not a logic. So, if he hadn’t traveled around the world just to observe if somehow and somewhere a human being actually ,evolved‘ in something ,better’ (and this is not even a scientific term) and anyone could have seen it, I don’t from know where his idea of a superior race should actually stem from (it was not Darwin by the way). This is neither creationism nor Darwinism what Hitler is speaking about no matter how much he believed in evolution or in Darwin’s works in its entirety: The Nazi ideology cannot be based on the same kind of ,evolution‘ what Darwin meant by this term as he never wanted to point out what could finally be found to be considered as the universal ,best‘ of animals or of humans or of something in nature in the first place. Moreover this could even be seen to be entirely contradictory to what he really found out: that an animal evolves in order to fit in its surroundings and to survive but that doesn’t mean (and that’s the point) that this one winning animal can be sure to be ,the best‘ in this area as of any other part of this world or of its kind, everywhere could await him a fight for survival (or not) but nothing more; to be alive is always the best outcome. The notion of human or even ,aryan’ superiority as a ,reality’ is therefore not just highly questionable it was invented fiction right from the start and Darwinism challenged this thought way more than it could have entirely proven it. So I don‘t know what the Nazis made out of it.

Some Christians make a distinction between worship and veneration I personally do not feel comfortable to do that myself, but God is all knowing He knows who belongs to him. Paul said ...... Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. Rom 14-4 About the curse Paul said...Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Gal 3-13 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Rom5-8 Jesus become a curse on my and on yours behalf. I am sorry but Abraham never built the kaaba it was an abomination to him. In the Bible it says...."'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God. Lev26-1
