Yeah, communism and nazism never believed in Darwinism. You have all the tyrants on your side, must make you proud. Keep up the namecalling, it really makes my case.

Uh, you really need to study a little logic.
But maybe that’s against your religion too.
“Yeah, communism and nazism never believed in Darwinism. “
—You probably meant that sarcastically, but Darwinism was actually banned under both Hitler and Stalin.
Really, evolution was banned, right! Where do you think they came up w/their Master Aryan race and Eugenics? Those myths may work in the public school system but not here. Nice try.

Ah, when all else fails go to the Christian Hatred. You don’t sound very Conservative, hmmm???

“Really, evolution was banned, right!”
—Evolution wasn’t banned under Stalin, but Darwinism was, as being opposed to their ideology. Espousing Darwinism in Stalin’s USSR wasn’t conducive to staying alive. They instead favored Lysenkoism.
The Nazis likewise banned Darwinism (and Haeckel): http://www.library.arizona.edu/exhibits/burnedbooks/documents.htm
I don’t know if the Nazis tolerated any other form of evolution, but Hitler himself was almost certainly a Creationist (as I describe here):

“Where do you think they came up w/their Master Aryan race and Eugenics?”
—The “Aryan race” idea was Gobineau, an anti-evolutionist who came up with the idea before Origin of Species was published.
As for the inspiration for eugenics, Hitler credits the ancient Spartans:
“Sparta must be regarded as the first Völkisch State. The exposure of the sick, weak, deformed children, in short, their destruction, was more decent and in truth a thousand times more humane than the wretched insanity of our day which preserves the most pathological subject, and indeed at any price, and yet takes the life of a hundred thousand healthy children in consequence of birth control or through abortions, in order subsequently to breed a race of degenerates burdened with illnesses.”
I don’t hate Christians, I am one. Of the oldest Christian denomination, one quite comfortable with evolution as there is nothing anti Christian about it. I just refuse to give in to the Cretins who think they are the only Christians in existance.
No EVOLUTION is a scientific theory that trys to explain the development of life on Earth using standard scientific practice and principles. CREATIONISM is a belief, a faith, a religion. INTELLIGENT DESIGN is a ruse designed to repackage Creationism as a real science. Get it?
