Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
So creos like to claim that evolution causes Nazism. I found an interesting quote about that today (thanks to Aron-Ra's vids).
"Even a superficial glance is sufficient to show that all the innumerable forms in which the life-urge of Nature manifests itself are subject to a fundamental law - one may call it an iron law of Nature - which compels the various species to keep within the definite limits of their own life-forms when propagating and multiplying their kind." -Hitler, Mein Kampf, Volume I, Chapter XI
ps. expanding the quote.
"The fox remains a fox, the goose remains a goose, and the tiger will retain the character of a tiger. The only difference that can exist within the species must be in the various degrees of structural strength and active power, in the intelligence, endurance, etc., with which individual specimens are endowed. It would be impossible to find a fox which has a kindly and protect disposition towards geese, just as no cat exists which has a friendly disposition toward mice. ...The act which brings about such a development is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator."

On the alleged connection between Hitler and Atheism:
"For it was by the Will of God that men were made of a certain bodily shape, were given their natures and their faculties." -Hitler, Mein Kampf, Volume II, Chapter X

Hitler's beliefs were ever-changing, and never stagnate. Dogma never found a permanent home in his mind. In Mein Kampf for example, he maintained a belief in biological evolution and particularly Social Darwinism, whereas in his private Table Talk conversions he once stated that humans descended from apes but then later denied evolution on some other day.
But Godwin's law could be used with reference to Heinrich Himmler, who stated that evolution was "scientifically totally false" and "quite insulting to humans."

I believe it's quite likely he rejected evolution because of his heavy basis in Nietzsche's philosophy, which also rejected Darwinism.

What is embedded in the Theory of Evolution is the concept of Eugenics, a word you don't see evolutionists using here.
Yes, funny that, seeing as the theory of Evolution and social Darwinism are completely separate things.
It's like why you tend not to see nuclear physicists saying because we have atomic weapons, we should always use them.
The facts of a theory are separate from their applications (or in the case of social Darwinism, misapplications).
