Re: Hitler and evolution
If you look at Hitlers Attitude Toward Religion, you'll find that it was more political influenced than religious. Hitler was for anything "Pro-Germany", and since Christianity didn't meet his standards, he desided to discard it (Jesus was a Jew). He was more interested in i.e. Northern Mythology, since that were more to his belief that Germans were descendants of an Arian race.
To blame it on Darwin and TOE is moot. Most of todays Evos believe that man originated in Africa, so surely no one of them would even consider the Nazi beliefs (or they don't know their evolution theory well enough).
Hitler himself was interested in holy relics in general and the Lance of Longinus in particular. He even mentions it in "Mein Kampf", as I understand. So to say that Nazism doesn't have any religious influences, is also wrong (although it was more a "powertrip" thing than a religious thing, I believe).
The ONLY religion which serves as a philosophical basis for that sort of thing is evolutionism
Evolutionism is not a religion by the way. It is a scientific theory that is the best scientific explanation we have on how everything came to be. Cynic1 describes it well in "What religious rights, if any, are currently being eroded in the USA?"-thread:EvC Forum: What religious rights, if any, are currently being eroded in the USA?

Re: Arthur Keith misrepresented... again
What I am pointing out is that, unlike the "big bang" theory or the theory of the aether which one might categorize as harmless BS, evolution is not harmless BS. Evolution is the worst of both worlds: it's junk science and it's an ideological doctrine which has had horrific consequences.
Eh... I don't know what to make of this. Seems to be a lot of BS here. Junk Science compared to what other Science?
...Ideologocal doctrine which has had horrific consequences? Compared to the "crusades" and "holy wars" throughout time, I think you'll find that religion have had more horrific consequences for man than any evolutionistic view.
You could use evolutions "The Survival of the fittest" theory to describe any hideous act done by man throughout time, even that done by Christians, Muslims etc. But that is just an explanation on how the TOE works in all aspects of the animal kingdom. But then again you would have to believe in the TOE, which I'm sure you are incapable of.

Re: Arthur Keith misrepresented... again
Of course there is an effect of improved technology. It is a natural part of evolution: "S U R V I V A L O F T H E F I T T E S T". It has always been there!! That doesn't mean that the smartest win. It's the boys with the biggest toys.
And you still didn't answer the question of what you meant with junk science?
You can dig up the stats for the two world wars as easily as I can; there's nothing remotely close to that in history books, the closest thing to being close being the wars of Chengis Khan 700 years ago.
You should read up on your history hispeed.com - This website is for sale! - Hi speed Resources and Information., I think.
and the one time those truly got out of hand (the 30 years war) seemed to be more a case of a new kind of military/industrial paradigm having arisen in Sweden than anything else
Acually, the 30 years was a struggle between Catholic and Protestant princes aided by non-German coregilionalists. And compared to the population and the weapons they had back then, I do not dare to think what they could have done with 20th century technology.
You seem to insist that everything that happened in the two world wars last century was the doings of Darwins theory. Do you actually think the two world wars wouldn't have happened if Darwin never had published his theory? Of course they would No webpage found at provided URL: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/9587/attrelig.html.
