RWP. Try to keep up. #1, I never said that an evolutionist couldn't be a Christian. Didn't say it. You can search. You won't find it. #2, I never said that Darwinism was the sole cause of Hitler's ideology. As a matter of fact, I mentioned that anti-semitism was rampant in Eastern Europe long prior to Hitler. As for Luther, I believe he was a Christian who was dead wrong regarding the Jews. This post of yours is a diversion from Hitler's own stated influences, and I can make a far greater case that Hitler used Darwinism in support of his ideology as opposed to Christianity. Yes, Hitler occasionally invoked the name of Jesus and stood outside to have his picture made in front of a Catholic cathedral. By I defy you to find a single solitary Christian doctrine found in the Bible that would promote Nazism. You can't do it (and stay in any form of context). I can however point to Darwin's own statements and those of some of his followers as helping to produce soil in which their theory could be used for such (again, I didn't say their comments necessitated Hitler. He bears the responsibility for his own actions, but they fertilized the soil).

I believe Luther's words speak for themselves, and I would not dream of setting myself up as an authority on Christianity in opposition to a man whose name graces Protestant churches all over the world.

If you're going to dive into a thread on biology with a bunch of irrelevant nonsense about the origins of the Naziism, then be prepared to have a real, unrestricted discussion on all the social factors that gave rise to Naziism. Have you read Goldhagen's book?

By the way, you never answered my query on another thread about whether evolution was widely taught in the South betwen 1865 and 1965? the South was definitely Christian during that period. Was it Darwinist?
