    Willful ignorance. Nazism was actually caused by RELIGIOUSLY inspired nationalism and facism as is evidenced in the Mein Kampf.

    Because the Nazis' believed in Eugenics and wanted to use that to "purify" people...now somehow people got the idea that Eugenics is tied in with Evolution which is completely false.

    In Eugenics you want to narrow down the genetic information to a single aim... Evolution has no single purpose except to help you survive, and says that you want as much genetic information as possible for evolution to work best. That is what the biggest difference is, to me at least.

    If more people knew the difference between Eugenics and Evolution this Holocaust claim would never be.

    Charles Darwin miserably in his quest to validate his argument on Evolution.

    God created the Heaven and Earth as the Holy Bible declares (Genesis 1:1). Don't put faith in theories. Have faith in God.

    Charles Darwin did not use good logic in his famous book, "The Origin of Species."

    W.R. Thompson, a Canadian entomologist(entomology-study of insects) of international repute, wrote in his introduction to the centennial edition of Darwin's Origen, "Darwin did not show in the Origin that species had originated by natural selection; he merely showed, on the basis of certain facts and assumptions, how this might have happened, and as he had convinced himself he was able to convince others.

    Chapter 4 of the Origin, entitled "Natural Selection; or the Survival of the Fittest," occupies 44 pages in the 1958 mentor edition. In this chapter Darwin used the language of speculation, imagination, and assumption at least 187 times. For example, pages 118 and 119 contain the following phrases; "may have been," "is supposed to," perhaps," "If we suppose," "may still be," 'it is probable," "will generally tend," "may" "will generally tend," 'If," 'if...assumed," "supposed," "supposed," "probably," "It seems, therefore, extremely probable," and "We may suppose." Is this really the language of science? No, it is not.

    Of Darwin's speculative arguments Thompson wrote, "....Personal convictions, simple possibilities, are presented as if they were proofs, or at least valid arguments in favor of the theory....The demonstration can be modified without difficulty to fit any conceivable case. It is without scientific value, since it cannot be verified; but since the imagination has free rein, it is easy to convey the impression that a concrete example of real transmutation (change of one species to another) has been given."

    Have faith dear friends in God, not theories.

    Genesis 1:1

    Isaiah 45:18

    Colossians 1:16

    Hebrews 11:1-6

    Genesis 2:1-3

    Exodus 20:8-11

    Psalm 14:1

    Because Social Darwinism, in which Darwin had no part, sounds close enough to the legitimate scientific concept of Darwinism in many people's minds/

    Ignorance.

    Because this is what they hear from the pulpit. The ring sounds good, even if it isn't a true ring.
