Syamsu,
Incidentally, I saw this post while lurking at II today:
Steven Carr writes:
From Hitlers Tischgespraeche im Fuehrerhaupquartier by Henry Picker (one of the actual stenographers), translated by me from the German on page 127
'From where do we get the right to believe, that from the very beginning Man was not what he is today? Looking at Nature tells us, that in the realm of plants and animals changes and developments happen. But nowhere inside a kind shows such a development as the breadth of the jump , as Man must supposedly have made, if he has developed from an ape-like state to what he is today.'
So it seems that Hitler wasn't completely bowled over by the concept of human evolution either (not that it makes any difference to the validity of the theory in any event).
It might be an idea to concentrate on the ideological consequences of asserting that your kind (or your particular "race") are the dominant, superior lifeform on the planet and part of a "special creation". Then again, the argument that creationism (or more widely, religion) is not without its negative social consequences never seems to be addressed by you.
