Happy birthday to Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln, Thank you for
evolution served as an intellectual basis for Hitler's Nazism, which resulted in a holocaust. Later it founded Marx's Communism. even though the name of Charles Darwin is never mentioned alongside with Hitler. even though Charles Darwin was the "scientist" who directly inspired the German philosopher, Nietzsche; who in turn composed the superman theory and the Nazi corollary that some people were subhuman.
hitler used evolutionary "facts" to exterminate the Jewish people. the expression "natural selection," as applied to human beings, turns up at the Wannsee Conference in the prime document of the Holocaust.
leading Nazis, and early 1900 influential German biologists, revealed in their writings that Darwin’s theory and publications had a major influence upon Nazi race policies.
hitler believed that the human gene pool could be improved by using selective breeding similar to how farmers breed superior cattle strains.
In the formulation of their racial policies, Hitler’s government relied heavily upon Darwinism, especially the elaborations by Spencer and Haeckel. Because of this a central policy of Hitler’s administration was the development and implementation of policies designed to protect the ‘superior race’.
the belief that evolution can be directed by scientists to produce a ‘superior race’ was the central theme of Nazism.
they believed that evolution can be directed by scientists to produce a ‘superior race’. It was the central theme of Nazism.
this required at the very least preventing the ‘inferior races’ from mixing with those judged superior, in order to reduce contamination of the latter’s gene pool. The ‘superior race’ belief was based on the theory of group inequality within each species, a major presumption and requirement of Darwin’s original ‘survival of the fittest’ theory.
this philosophy culminated in the ‘final solution’, the extermination of approximately six million Jews and four million other people who belonged to what German scientists judged as ‘inferior races’....
and of course which began world war II and resulted in 55 million deaths.

happy birthday to all who have a birthday today, and I am sure you are all benefitting society by not getting drunk or telling lies like Darwin did by trying to make a name for himself, or maybe even trying to win the nobel peace prize. As for Abraham Lincoln, may he rest in peace and the blessing of the Lord.
