Even the ADL Agrees it's Bullshit

The Anti-Defamation League blasted Coral Ridge Ministries for it's upcoming documentary that claims to link Darwin's theory of evolution directly to Hitler's WWII campaign to exterminate the Jewish race:

ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said in a statement:"This is an outrageous and shoddy attempt by D. James Kennedy to trivialize the horrors of the Holocaust. Hitler did not need Darwin to devise his heinous plan to exterminate the Jewish people. Trivializing the Holocaust comes from either ignorance at best or, at worst, a mendacious attempt to score political points in the culture war on the backs of six million Jewish victims and others who died at the hands of the Nazis.

"It must be remembered that D. James Kennedy is a leader among the distinct group of 'Christian Supremacists' who seek to "reclaim America for Christ" and turn the U.S. into a Christian nation guided by their strange notions of biblical law."

One thought comes to mind regarding Hitler and his allegedly Darwinistic extermination campaign: Did anybody consider the idea that Hitler's campaign was not "natural selection" but "artificial selection"?

It wasn't a uniform change in the environment that was making Jews die so quickly. Instead, it was a group of thugs throwing perfectly functional and capable human beings into ovens based on their religious and cultural background! What the hell does "natural selection" have to do with mass murder? Did the Nazis have to try to adapt to the ovens like the Jews were forced to do?

I would argue that even if Hitler really did use Darwin's theory as inspiration for the mass-murder of Jews, he got it wrong. Throwing millions of Jews into death camps is, in my opinion, artificial selection! It is stacking the decks, not proving the superior adaptability of a breed of human.

An example of natural selection would be something like a change in the environment for all involved parties (both Jews and Nazis) where everyone had to adapt, and if one party or group couldn't adapt to the change, then they would die out. So to apply that principle consistently, and truly use "natural selection" as a means to justify the extermination of Jews, then shouldn't Hitler have thrown both the Jews and the Aryans both into concentration camps and try to burn all of them in ovens equally quickly and see if the Aryans somehow adapted to the adverse environment and survived?

Natural selection is about competing on the same playing field with the same rules and conditions. So when it is when applied to death camps, it would have to be where Hitler could demonstrate the evolutionary superiority of the Aryan race due to their ability to adapt to ovens so that they wouldn't die when burned (unlike the Jews), and adapting to the miserable conditions in the camps so that they wouldn't starve to death or be worked to death (unlike the Jews).

Only then would his plan have some kind of similarity to natural selection. Hitler's genocidal campaign is simply not analogous to evolutionary theory or natural selection.

Instead, Hitler's campaign was much more analogous to Godly selection. That's because Godly selection is all about stacking the decks and not competing on a level playing field. This filth has much more in common with death camps and ovens than anything that came from Darwin's pen.
