Before I comment, let me start with my background. I am a Ph.D. Physical Chemist (theoretical quantum chemistry, combustion kinetics, stratospheric chemistry, aerosol chemistry, laser spectroscopy, etc.). I certainly have no doubts that God is creative with His creation, and that the Genesis account of creation is theologically important, but not scientifically sound. Nevertheless, historically speaking, many racist and eugenicist ideologues anchored their ideologies and merciless inhuman actions (including the Holocaust) on the concept of “Survival of the Fittest” which they gleaned from Darwin’s publications and from further scientific publications regarding evolutionary biology. This fact is not arguable.

Just as so-called Christians have used the Biblical account of Jesus’ crucifixion as a pretext to persecute Jews in the past, and just as Muslims use certain passages in the Koran and Hadiths to justify slaughter of innocent non-Muslims, secular AND religious people have used evolutionary theory to justify slaughter and persecution of Jews, Blacks, American Indians, etc. since the late 19th century when such science has become mainstream.
