    I see the point you're trying to make, but from both a historical and scientific perspective it is false.

    If you think it's false, then falsify it. Write a paper and publish it pointing out your scientific method and how, scientifically, the two are equivalent.

    The concept of Eugenics was born out of natural selection. Eugenics, as I said, is the implementation of natural selection (i.e. determining which characteristics will supposedly be most beneficial to mankind). It's a rudimentary form a genetic engineering that employs the concepts of Darwinism to actively breed out "negative" characteristics. I understand your unwillingness to accept this, since it's probably pretty unpalatable to you. And it's not just Google that disagrees with you...The "define" function points to numerous links from numerous sources that directly state you're incorrect.

    Sure, eugenics was derived from Darwin's ideas, but it was derived incorrectly. Galton interpreted what Darwin wrote with grave errors. It was born out of 19th century ambition to "improve society" - a social policy, nothing more. This comes from the same guy who advocated measuring skull size as an indicator of intelligence. You're free to believe his ideas if you like, but I would advise you against it. The only way it is unpalatable to me is that naive people continue to mistakenly interpret it as a valid offshoot of Darwin's theory without properly understanding the basic concepts.

    I still see no difference. Darwinism clearly implies that humans are natural beings, so if humans kill off certain other creatures/humans, then it is by definition "natural selection". To equate it to another branch of science.

    You need to take an introductory biology class.

    Nuclear fusion occurs naturally in the sun. It does not occur naturally on earth. The fact that a fusion reaction can be initiated by man does not imply that it is no longer nuclear physics. Your argument is just absurd.

    That is not at all what my argument implies.

    Uhhh...I don't need to. It's universally accepted (except by people like you who are apparently so fanatical that they're willing to rewrite history and science).

    Nuclear weapong were also born out of social policy (to win a war). That doesn't mean that they don't work. Your argument is simply absurd.

    So you're saying that humans did not evolve? Are we not natural?

    It certainly does. You're stating that if science is implemented, then it nullifies the science. Your argument is simply absurd and I'm beginning to think that you're just being satirical at this point. Note that I'm not stating that Eugenics is "good science" or effective. I'm saying that it was born out of Darwinist/Atheist philosophies and it was. I just find it curious that people bash religion for being so violent, but in the span of a couple decades, atheism lead to the most violent behavior in human history.

        TOWN OF SUGAR CREEK - A man in Walworth County has built a shrine to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in a building in his backyard. Ted Junker, 87, says history books have it all wrong and Adolf Hitler was really a hero and he's going to hold an open house on June 25th to allow people to tour his Hitler shrine.[^] Subsidiary question: why does the US press systematically mention the Shoah when referring to Nazism and WW2 and not the other persecuted groups or individuals? Why this unique distinction?

          My grandmother, who is German, told me as a child that Hitler was misunderstood. She said 'sure, he didn't treat the JEws too well, but he did amazing things for the roads'.

            What does that have to do with me? I didn't do it. Why are you blaming Americans for our press's behavior? There are 300 million Americans, we all don't write newspapers. Why do you want to hold us all responsible for the behavior of a few? "You get that which you tolerate"

            But the US is a free country, the newspaper market is ruled by supply and demand, if there is bias in reporting then because not enough US Americans demand balanced news. So it's all yur fault personally. ;P In related news, it's the same what happens when I'm asked to be grateful towards George W. Bush single-handedly rebuilding the country after WW2.

                    Just like the KKK, communism and now Mulism extremists. Taking care of leftists has proven to be a long and arduous task, but we're making progress.

                            Not really. What Martin Luther did would match what you're saying. Hitler placed a secular state that oppressed churches of all sorts at the top while adopting a eugenics (Darwinist/atheist) based policy as one of the bases of his government. That's inconsistent with what I would expect from someone who is a theist of any sort.

                                It's not a strawman argument. It's another identical example of what you so absurdly deny in order to defend your faith. You're ignoring the very definition of eugenics. Seriously, though? Are you just joking about this? Because I find it hard to believe that a non-Muslim could be this fanatical about his faith.

I merely stated that logically those are all actions that would not be contrary for someone that believes his own definition of Christianity and that established religions are wrong. You claim I am wrong but make no attempt to point how any of the 1 thru 4 are NOT logical actions for a person believing in his own definition of Christianity. This is representative of the pseudo-intellectual junk that you post on here all the time, and your phantom voter seems very impressed with your abilities.

                                  You're intentionally ignoring #5 (the most important) while claiming that I post pseudo-intellectual junk. He threw away religion as a youth and put atheist doctrines in its place. In your pseudo-intellectual world, this may imply that he's merely against organized religion, but in the real world it strongly indicates that he was an atheist. He certainly adhered to atheist government policies.

                                    Is "strawman" your only means of attack? You remind me of Adnan. But let's go to the horse's mouth and not his ass. Darwin himself rejected eugenics. I will even state that Francis Galton was Darwin's cousine and Darwin himself disagreed with the ideas of his cousin. Eugenics was floating about Europe even before Darwin published his book on the origins of species. It is not Darwinism. Period.

                                      Funny. He wanted to replace religious by his ideas. He tried to replace christmas songs and many priests were gassed. He didn't like the churches, in fact he had some special ideas. If you call him religious you shouldn't just quote "Mein Kampf" but you should take a deeper look at the things he did. Then you will see that he tried everything to remove religion from the German minds. Greetings, Ingo ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right.

                                        Look at the Nazi symbols and their festivities - there are many Germanic rites in them. And he had specialists for Germanic, and - well even that is true - some where searching for Germanic occult objects. Perhaps he didn't searched those things from the Indiana Jones Movies, but you can see many parallels. :) Regards, Ingo ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right.

                                          The question is: "what's your point?" My point: Darwinism != eugenics. Your point: Darwinism = eugenics One of these two statements is erroneous. Now, let's see if we can figure out which one it is. I observe a group of pigs in the wild and leave them to breed amongst themselves. In the other scenario, I select 2 of them from the wild and subsequently isolate the ones of my choosing and "let" them breed. Which scenario is Darwinism and which one is eugenics? Oh wait. I forgot. For you Darwinism = eugenics. I apologize for the trick question because in your view where Darwinism = eugenics both scenarios are correct. Consequently, seeing as you can't distinguish between the two statements and consider them equivalent, you should have no problem declaring me the victor. Thank you, I'm honoured.
