Thanks for your evidence of my idea that Hitler was influenced by Luther.

I wouldn't be surprised that Hitler incorporated his twisted idea of evolution into his twisted idea of Aryan Christianity, but the idea that "No Darwin, no holocaust" is flat out wrong.

And the existence of Hitler's Reich doesn't make Christianity unsound, nor does it make evolution unsound.

Correct on both counts.

[Wallace T.]

Nazism was not a comprehensive worldview as is Marxism. It borrowed ideas from various sources and even smuggled in class warfare concepts from Marxism, which they regarded as Jewish. After all, the very name, Nazi, is an abbreviation for National Socialist. By and large, Nazis did believe in Darwin-inspired theories of natural selection. They also believed in the value of efficient assembly lines. However, their belief in industrial efficiency did not make them disciples of Frederick Taylor or Henry Ford.

Biblical Christianity is a comprehensive worldview as well, which Darwinian evolution is not. Because Hitler admired the anti-Semitic rants of Martin Luther's declining years or the altruism of many Christian leaders does not make Hitler a Christian. Nor does it make Nazism any more Christian than the borrowing of class warfare themes made the ideology Marxist.

The non-existence thereof does indicate that Naziism is unsound. (ii! hah! not even a Latin plural!)
