  Stein says there’s Darwin without eugenics and Hitler, but you don’t have eugenics and Hitler without Darwin.

  • These media devotees of Darwin distort Expelled and proponents of “Intelligent Design” as they do Darwin on the subject of a Creator. While Darwin rejected the independent creation of each species, he recognized “the laws impressed on matter by the Creator.”

  • As early as 1925, Hitler outlined his conclusion in Chapter 4 of Mein Kampf that Darwinism was the only basis for a successful Germany and which the title of his most famous work—in English My Struggle—alluded to. As Clark concluded, Adolf Hitler:

     

    ‘ …was captivated by evolutionary teaching—probably since the time he was a boy. Evolutionary ideas—quite undisguised—lie at the basis of all that is worst in Mein Kampf-and in his public speeches …. Hitler reasoned … that a higher race would always conquer a lower.’
