Whether it is or isn't ... and it should be, in my opinion ... but whether it is or isn't, I'll state my point again:

Hitler's experiment was interrupted by a Christian nation.
You mean the Christian nation that ended racial segregation in its own troops in 1948.

For the record, I don't have anything to do with the Discovery Institute, ICR or any other institution, with the exception of some missionary clearinghouses.

The point which you seem totally oblivious of is creationists associating evolution with racism to this very day.

As I'm fond of asking people:

In your opinion, were these crusades, witch hunts, and other atrocities done with respect to the Bible, or in spite of It?

I vote in spite of It.

They may think they were doing the right thing, but they weren't.

Is your opinion that evolution is racist or it has been leveraged for racism despite it's not being racist?

Big deal. People who drink milk associate evolution with racism.

Do they do it because there's something in the milk? or do they just use the milk for leverage?

You dont have the courage to post your opinions?
I don't have the knowledge to say one way or the other.

I don't know ... or care ... what evolution teaches today.

I'm just waiting for Jesus to come and put an end to all this mish-mash.

Lacking knowledge has never stopped you before.

For the record, I've compared myself to Rosa Parks before, such as here:
Well maybe you have a version of the spiritual realm that sits at the back of the bus then.

I don't know, and I don't care.

But I'm the Rosa Parks of preeminent faith, and I'll sit up front.

Right in the forefront of you scientists and tell you guys your science can take a hike.
And I've probably venerated her more than any one else around.

Do you comprehend the difference between correlation and causation?
Are you seriously suggesting the Discovery Institute articles on scientific racism are purely coincidental and are not motivated by creationism?

Neat.

Which one had God on its side, in your opinion?

Neither. I don't believe He exists. But I guess all sides believed that 'Gott mit uns'. Which doesn't tell us much. Some times the 'good guys' win. Sometimes not. Seems not to make a difference.

No comment.

But in order to claim that all the excesses conducted in the name of God were done in spite of God, one must also be willing to assume that excesses which are laid at the doorstep of evolution are done in spite of evolution.

Evolution, as a theory, does NOT lead one to racist policies (primarily because "race" is a synthetic construct, is not based on reality or science).
