Well Hitler and other mass murderers were likely influenced by Darwins theories. The propaganda shows as much.

Though it's not like that makes Darwin responsible or a racist.

Though he probably was a racist. Who wasn't back then.

Regardless it's not like the Holocaust should be held against him.  For all we know the Jews could of been scapegoated anyway.

It's not like scapegoating one race is something that was new to WW2.

 

This post isn't really directed at you (because on half your points I do agree with you) but I'm quoting you because it relates to your post.


If the theory of evolution is evil and racist and the cause of the holocaust - it doesn't stop the theory of evolution being right. Its an appeal to the consqequences rather than an actual argument. Same thing with Darwin being racist, making ad hominem attacks on Darwin doesn't mean his theories are wrong.

Also does anybody else just love Wikipedias list of fallacies? =D
