Darwinism & WWII

Expunging of the Judeo-Christian doctrine of the divine origins from the mainline German (liberal) theology and its schools, and replacing it with Darwinism, openly contributed to the acceptance of social Darwinism that culminated in the tragedy of the holocaust! Darwin’s theory, as modified by Haeckel, Chamberlain and others contributed to the death of over 9 million people in concentration camps and about 40 million other humans in a war that cost about 6 trillion dollars! Furthermore, the primary reason that Nazism reached to the extent of the holocaust was the widespread acceptance of Social Darwinism by the scientific and academic community. The very heart of Darwinism is the belief that Evolution proceeds by the differential survival of the fittest or superior individuals. Modern eugenics thought arose only in the 19th century. The emergence of eugenics had multiple roots. The most important was the theory of evolution, for Francis Galton’s ideas on eugenics… and it was he who created the term “eugenics”… were a direct outgrowth of the scientific doctrine elaborated by his cousin, Charles Darwin. In the 1933 Nuremberg Party rally, Hitler proclaimed that ‘higher race subjects to itself a lower race… a right which we see in nature and which can be regarded as the sole conceivable right’, because it was founded on science. As early as 1925, Hitler outlined his conclusion in Chapter 4 of Mein Kamph that Darwinism was only basis for a successful Germany and the title of his most famous work, My Struggle”, adhered to.
