Hitler based his views on Darwinism (Talk.Origins)

Claim CA006.1: Adolf Hitler exploited the racist ideas of Darwinism to justify genocide.

CreationWiki response:

In typical fashion, Talk.Origins dedicates most of its argument to trying to persuade people that Hitler was a Christian. Of course, to do this it must make the mistake of accepting the things Hitler said to the German people and ignore other evidence to the contrary. Similarly, many American politicians who support partial birth abortion, gay marriage and other blatantly anti-Christian practices swear black and blue that they are Christians, so talking the talk is meaningless without walking the walk. Perhaps Talk.Origins forgets that this was the same man who censored soldiers' death reports from newspapers and claimed Germany was winning WWII until he saw Russian soldiers marching down the streets of Berlin.

After the Talk Origins whitewash was originally written, Richard Weikart, professor of modern European history at California State University, Stanislaus, has thoroughly documented the Darwinian roots of many aspects of the Nazi terror in his 2004 book From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany (see link to his page, and a review of this book).

Exactly where Talk.Origins gets the idea that this was any sort of divine right is not explained. This quote only vaguely implies any sort of deity, but this "eternal will" could even be a reference to nature.

These four quotes are Talk.Origins' attempt to prove Hitler was a Christian. Were the author alive during WWII and living in Germany, no doubt he would have believed Hitler when he claimed Germany was not the country that started the war and that Germany was winning when it clearly wasn't. In addition, most of these quotes are severely misinterpreted by Talk.Origins.

However, here are some Hitler anti-Christianity quotes and here is a discussion of how the Nazis secretly planned to exterminate Christianity.

It becomes more obvious, when you realize that none of this has anything to do with creationism, that the only point of this Talk.Origins response is to slander Christianity.

Genocide and racism did exist before Darwin. So did evolution. But the claim that Talk.Origins is attempting to refute is whether or not Hitler based his ideas on them; not whether evolution was the sole cause or justification.

Nor do creationists claim so. Rather, it is the likely consequence of this type of worldview. When one believes evolution, and that there is no God, then the belief that one is superior to all others generally follows.
