You don't realize how desperate and crazed the creationists and ID gang really are. If you go to the website of that intellectual toxic waste dump, the Discovery Institute, and use their "search" function (it's right below the globe on their homepage) to search for "Hitler," you'll find no less than six different articles and reviews on one single book which purports to link Darwin and Hitler. These people have played out their string.

If Hitler were alive today, he'd take this post and say: "100! Hauptzahl! Mein!"

The Discovery Institute subsidized the writing of Richard Weikart's recent book FROM DARWIN TO HITLER. In my chapter on "social Darwinism" in my book, I show that Weikart's own evidence doesn't support a direct line "from Darwin to Hitler," although Hitler used vague references to survival of the fittest in some of his writings.

In correspondence with me, Weikart admitted that the title of his book is not accurate because any connection between Darwin and Hitler is very loose and indirect. The connection between Ernst Haeckel and Hitler is much more direct and clear. Weikart chose the title of his book to support the polemical purposes of the Discovery Institute.
