How many users on these boards actually support "The Theory of Evolution"?

I don't think you understand evolution. If they were truly genetically unsuited to their environments they would die off naturally. Well that ain't gonna happen now with homosapiens as we are equal is it. So no, Evolution doesn't condone genocide or racism in any way.

In fact, you saying this is telling me that you can't proove ID so you are taking cheap shots.

 

 

 Neanderthals weren't geneticaly unsuited to their environment, but were purposely killed off in an act of genocide by competeing homo sapien groups. Evolution only encourages that behaviour.

I suppose instead of sending the Peace Corp to under developed nations to help them, we'd be better of commiting genocide and suplanting their people instead because that's just evolutionary progress. I guess if they had better "genes" they'd have developed bombers and nuclear weapons instead of us.

First of all Neanderthals, while in the same genus as Homo Sapiens, are a different species so regardless of what happened it's technically not genocide.

Secondly saying evolution "encourages" genocide is like saying the force of gravity encourages people to fall and injure themselves.  Evolution and gravity are not human inventions, they are discoveries and the theories that describe them, are just that, attempts to describe the means by which these phenomena operate.
