Not very sound logic. Hitler is evil. Hitler believed in Darwinism. Therefore Darwinism has to be evil.

A guy who could say this:

In 1833 he made the acquaintance of General Juan Manual de Rosas, who was busy liquidating the Indian population of southern Argentina. “This war of extermination,” Darwin wrote in a cheerful letter home, “although carried on with the most shocking barbarity, will certainly produce great benefits; it will at once throw open four or 500 miles in length of fine country for the produce of cattle.” The “extermination” (a favorite word of Darwin in his writings) of failed races, whether animal or human, is a great theme in his books and a key feature in the advance of the evolutionary process as he conceived it.

is pretty heartless and certainly not a respecter of God or His laws!

Why yes it is!!! For as we all know, the Jews through out history were never ever persecuted,

then along came Darwin.....

I wonder where the idea that some humans are “less human” than others came from... I just can’t find that in any theory anywhere... oh, wait, here it is.

Godwin’s Law in action.

You misstate the argument. Darwin was not a Hitler but he did provide what seemed to be a scientific justification for the circular reasoning of the survival of the fittest to be considered only the fittest survive.

In 1833 he made the acquaintance of General Juan Manual de Rosas, who was busy liquidating the Indian population of southern Argentina. "This war of extermination," Darwin wrote in a cheerful letter home, "although carried on with the most shocking barbarity, will certainly produce great benefits; it will at once throw open four or 500 miles in length of fine country for the produce of cattle." The "extermination" (a favorite word of Darwin in his writings) of failed races, whether animal or human, is a great theme in his books and a key feature in the advance of the evolutionary process as he conceived it.

In The Descent of Man (1871), Darwin prophesied: "At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races."

I'm guessing you didn't read this bit. Can't stand in the way of progress, and all that.

Not quite. It is perfect logic... Darwin was an atheist. Hitler was an atheist who accepted Darwin’s philosophy because it fit in so nicely with his atheism—human life has no intrinsic value. In fact, humans are nothing more than animals.

Atheism leads to the loss of any respect or concern for human life (especially that of the weak and helpless), leads to moral relativism (you decide what is evil and good), and immorality reigns because there is no afterlife, therefore, no need for reflection and remorse for actions on earth.

Hitler was evil and Darwinism can lead one into evil and when it becomes the prevalent religion as it did in Germany, it is evil. Watch Ben Stein’s movie, “Expelled”. Without the intertwining ribbon of Judeo Christian religion, Darwinism is evil.

Therefore Darwinism has to be evil.

Just ignorant of first principles. That alone, with enough energy behind it, will lead to some grotesquely inhuman consequences.

...not very sound honesty. Hitler used Darwin's hypotheses, as much as he used ancient Rome's and Prussia's to found his genocidal actions upon. Darwin, in part, wrote the same sentiments with the same intent. See the quotations of Darwin in the sixth paragraph of the posted article above this thread.

See my tagline for more comprehensive, obvious and common knowledge. British, Russian and southwest European nationalism and subjectivism have been polluting Early American friendliness toward the people of Israel for a long time.

The USA should not welcome European anarchism any more than communism or fascism, as anarchy was only a tool for those of the other two systems of government.
