Here is an aspect of relevance sure to tick some folks off. In the legal business, if you hire a guy as security because he is big and tough, you aren't necessarily responsible for his wrongdoing if he happens to pummel someone on the job without provocation. There is a relationship between the basis for hiring and the assault, but not in terms of culpability. If you hired the guy because you wanted some folks roughed up, that would be something different.
I have also heard Catholocism and Protestantism blamed in part for the holocaust, and in fact many ways of human thinking are poisonous in a way similar to Nazism, but very few are poisonous to the same degree.
Darwinism as a cause of the holocaust is much too simple of an explanation. Similarly, being homosexual or a clown doesn't mean you are a serial killer like John Wayne Gacy, but there is in fact a shared sin relevant to both types of lives.
That being said, how many of us are offended by the idea that
God perfects us as a people by natural selection?
And although evolutionists may also feel insulted, well, it does remain an issue worth looking at.

A powerful and critically acclaimed new video documentary on Darwinism – which proves the evolutionary theory's founder should share with Adolph Hitler the blame for the Holocaust, as well as for the more than 45 million American lives lost to abortion – is available today for just $4.95, a $20 discount from the normal $25.00 price, but only from WorldNetDaily.
The results of Darwin’s theories?
Titled "Darwin’s Deadly Legacy," the stunning documentary shows that Darwinian theory, "which is scientifically bankrupt, has probably been responsible for more bloodshed than anything else in the history of humanity," said Jerry Newcomb, one of the program's two co-producers.
Before the advent of Darwinian beliefs, said Newcombe, the Western world's basic concept was that man was made in the image of God, and was therefore valuable. But Darwin changed all that.
"Karl Marx wouldn’t embrace all (Darwin's) tenets, but said, 'This is a scientific theory on which we can base our theory of man,'" Newcomb told WND.
And according to Ann Coulter, bestselling author of "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," Hitler was simply taking Darwinism from the theoretical to the practical.
"He thought the Aryans were the fittest and he was just hurrying natural selection along," Coulter said.
So when did God suddenly decide that the law of natural selection is no longer the way to do things? If that law still applies, shouldn't we be snuffing more disabled people?
Where in the Bible does it say that natural selection was the right way for a millions of years, but for a few mere thousands a different method applies? Certainly God does not owe us an explanation for things that are mysterious. But when we are given one, I think we need to contemplate this kind of anomaly.
Here is the proposition: the merciful God, who is all-powerful could have created man out of the dust in a single day, but instead, he chose a long, slow and painful way to make man -- with lots of pain, death and merciless laws of the jungle to cull the weak.
My Bible says, let the weak say I am strong. What does Darwin say?
Obviously, if you mention Nazis, you have touched on an area regarded as off-limits for commentary. I am not particularly shy about the thought crime being committed here. In terms of the way people live their lives and consider evolution, Nazism has about zero relevance. In some ways, the analogy is a bit more than over-the-top, if not gratuitous, when applied to individuals or churches or universities, for example. But, when applied to nations?
We are all looking forward. What is going to solve the historical problems of man? Now, the question is suddenly extremely relevant. Hitler indeed had a plan to perfect the human species. And his plan was quite Darwinian indeed -- a bit off, but pretty close. IF the Aryans could eliminate the Jews, then it would prove him right. Science would object that Jews were not demonstrably inferior from a genetic standpoint. Well, not so fast, Poindexter. If Hitler had wiped out the Jews, he would have earned a considerable set of Darwinian spurs. That he eliminated 6,000,000 Jews would seem to merit honorable mention. Sorry, but those are the rules.
Of course, Hitler lost the war, which perhaps proves him wrong in a Darwinian sense. Expect the victors may have only gained a respite and are now staring down the barrell of a huge demographic problem with folks of a different Darwinian stripe: those who believe the fittest are followers of Allah. If they are successful as Saladin in the 21st century, do they not deserve some Darwinian kudos? War is also their creed and they love Hitler.
What is the plan for health in the human being? Prayer. It may lead to a better doctor. But prayer is where it starts. As Psalm 127 says, unless the Lord watches the city, the watchmen watch in vain. God is the only fittest thing there is. If you rely upon the power of God you are by definition, not Darwinian.
There is a prophetic word about how history is to work out. It is distinctly not Darwinian. That is very relevant to where we are.
What common sense is there that leads to an evolutionary view? Where are you going with this? Common sense tells me there was a Creator, not some process of life undergoing a continuous and radical change over an extremely long period of time.
