Another reason not to blame Darwin (for the Holocaust)

"Another reason not to blame Darwin (for the Holocaust)"

————————————————————————

Atheist Experience viewer Ruud from the Netherlands just drew my attention to another excellent reason why it is ridiculous to blame evolutionary theory for Nazi extermination.

Checking out the Index to Creationist Claims, I see that it's already on there, but since it was new to me I thought I'd share it.

The University of Arizona's site hosts a list of books that were banned in Germany in the 1930's. Among them is... take a wild guess...

————————————————
Writings of a philosophical and social nature whose content deals with the false scientific enlightenment of primitive Darwinism and Monism (Haeckel).
————————————————

And just for good measure, there's also this:

————————————————
c) All writings that ridicule, belittle or besmirch the Christian religion and its institution, faith in God, or other things that are holy to the healthy sentiments of the Volk.
————————————————

That ought to settle the issue.
But of course, you know it won't.

Music credits:

"The Broken Record" - novelty fox trot (Friend, Tobias & Bunch) by the B.B.C. Dance Orchestra, directed by Henry Hall, with vocal chorus. Released on Columbia CA 15524 - FB 1288. Recorded in January 1936.

This ("verboten!") swinging tune came from the Eighth floor of Jan's 78 RPM Record Warehouse (http://www.78rpm.hovers.nl ).

what does Volk mean?

[Prophiscient]

Volk = People (related to the English Folk(s)).

[hotdot200]

what fucktard blamed darwin for the holocaust?

[Prophiscient]

Bein Stein in "Expelled" for instance, or that Banana Man from Way of the Master, and just about any other religios nutjob who tries to defend the idea that evolution must be wrong because people can't be moral without God.

It's such a cliché that even mentioning Hitler to prove a point is usually already enough to lose any argument.

[pienipaha]

Nice choice of song.. o.O

[Prophiscient]

Somehow this "verboten" swing tune about a broken record seemed appropriate. It's not the kind of mysic that I listen to every day, but when I hear this kind of music, I can't always help thinking that that Second World War must have been a mighty cozy war.

But maybe my nostalgic ideas about WWII are slightly colored by watching too many episodes of "Dad's Army," so don't panic, don't panic! :-)

Thanks for the blog promotion, Prophiscient! Nice editing. :)

Cool, guess who "Ruud" is? I am :D

[m1c000l]

also people have been trying to wipe out jews for over 2000 years

[PROCLAIMEROFTRUTH]

German propaganda is not dead. e-gads.!!!

[HumanisticJones]

I'll go watch that video. Until then...

If Hitler came to me and said "I am an atheist. I believe in no gods," I'd have only his word to take him on, and sure why not, I'd believe him. What of it? I don't require that every person that rejected the many claims of deity-existence had a good reasons for it or that they were decent human beings.

[HumanisticJones]

Got a point to make with that? Anyone can go and look up those sources and confirm that Darwin's works were banned from Nazi Germany. Why would the Nazi propaganda machine adopt a stance that says the "proud Volk" share an ancestry with the Jews.

[AmericanPropaganda13]

It's amazing how atheist believe anything they're told, just as long as it doesn't involve God. YouTube is not a source to get your education from.

[A5Hellcat]

Okay thats what I thought but I didn't know so I thought I'd ask (rather then making stuff up like creationists :) )

Thanks again
