That's pathetic. Darwin preached? Evolution is not a religion, and unlike a religion, the founder doesn't need to be perfect. Darwin was right about a lot of things, but not everything. That's a part of science, and a healthy part as well.
Your sad little attempt to link Darwin + Evolution + Hitler = justification to kill 6 million? Is that what you're trying to say, that people who understand science and evolution are racist because "the lord our god" - Darwin said made it so? Only completely deluded people such as yourself are going to believe that BS. Get a life.

"The great German exponent of Militarism, Nietzsche, extended the Darwinian principle of the survival of the fittest in order to inspire his countrymen to fight. According to him, The supreme standard of life is purely materialistic vitality and power to survive. The 1914-1918 war was thus the calculated climax of a policy nourished on the diabolical ideas of Nietzsche for the subjugation of the world. General von Bernhardi in his book, The Next War, shows the connection between war and biology. According to him, War is a biological necessity of the first importance, a regulative element in the life of mankind that cannot be dispensed with. War increases vitality and promotes human progress. The summuim bonum [highest good] of life according to Nietzsches own words is Man shall be trained for war and woman for the recreation of the warrior; all else is folly " (Oscar Levy, Complete Works of Nietzsche, 1930, Vol. 2, p. 75).
"Darwin, Nietzsche, and Haeckel laid the foundations for the intense German militarism that eventually led to the Great War of 1914-1918. There were others who participated in the development, of course, including many of the German generals and political leaders, all very much under the spell of the German variety of social Darwinism. General Friedrich von Bernhardi said
Germany and the next war
"One need not read far in Hitlers Mein Kampf to find that evolution likewise influenced him and his views on the master race, genocide, human breeding experiments, etc."Robert Clark, Darwin: Before and After (1048), p. 115.
"[The position in Germany was that] Man must conform to natures processes, no matter how ruthless. The fittest must never stand in the way of the law of evolutionary progress. In its extreme form, that social view was used in Nazi Germany to justify sterilization and mass murder of the unfit, incompetent, inferior races. "*R. Milner, Encyclopedia of Evolution (1990), p. 412.
"[Hitler] stressed and singled out the idea of biological evolution as the most forceful weapon against traditional religion and he repeatedly condemned Christianity for its opposition to the teaching of evolution . . For Hitler, evolution was the hallmark of modern science and culture, and he defended its veracity as tenaciously as Haeckel."*Daniel Gasman, Scientific Origins of Modern Socialism: Social Darwinism in Ernst Haeckel and the German Monist League (1971), p. 188.
*Hitler said this:
"I regard Christianity as the most fatal, seductive lie that has ever existed."*Adolf Hitler, quoted in Larry Azar, Twentieth Century in Crisis (1990), p. 155.
