Forget it.  You are failing to grasp the whole point of my post.  Let's just move on.  Have a good evening.

Packfan,
  Sorry that I misunderstood you so completely.  Let's examine what you  wrote so that  I can see where I went wrong. Please feel free (and I encorouge you to) correct me where I made a mistake.

In post 10 you said in reply to an old post of Dreamer's, "The film does not say Darwin was responsible for the Holocaust, and you'd know that if you had watched the film.  The point made by the film is that the philosophical/ethical ramifications of evolutionary theory was Hitler's rationale for the Holocaust."
 
So in that post you said you didn't necessarily agree with the movie, but you did state that the film argued that Evolution was Hitler's rationale for the Holocaust.  
 
I challenged this because it is a patently false statement.  The fact Hitler was rabidly insane and the fact that he twisted Christianity into some wierd false religion was the rationale for the Holocaust.  This can be seen from his own writings.

"To them belong, not only the truly great statesmen, but all other great reformers as well. Beside Frederick the Great stands Martin Luther as well as Richard Wagner."

[Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 8]

"Any violence which does not spring from a spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain. It lacks the stability which can only rest in a fanatical outlook."

[Adolph Hitler, _Mein Kampf_, p. 171]
