Re: [asa] James Kennedy and the YEC line

Burgy,
 
I wonder if he got this -- probably fourth-hand -- via Richard Weikart's book From Darwin to Hitler? I know Ted D. has written positively about Weikart's book, but I also came across a more negative evaluation by another noted historian, Robert J. Richards (U. Chicago). His article "The narrative structure of judgements in history: Evolution and Nazi biology" is available as a pdf at the website with his bibliography. It is:

You may find it interesting, as Weikart's book is the specific thing that motivated him to write the article.

Recent news story:

"To put it simply, no Darwin, no Hitler. Hitler tried to speed up
evolution, to help it along, and millions suffered and died in
unspeakable ways because of it."

--D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries, explaining his perception
of Hitler as advancing Darwinian evolution.
