[asa] Hitler and Darwinsim: was Kennedy and the YEC Line

To Bill and George::
I looked up "Hitler" in the index of Wiker's book "Moral Darwinism.".
The is only one entry. Wiker quotes Daniel Gasman, The Scientific
Origins of National Socialism (London, MacDonald, 1971), p. 161
"Hitler's view on history, politics, religion, Christianity, nature,
eugenics, science, art, and evolution, however eclectic, and despite the
plurality of their sources, coincide for the most part with those of
Haeckel and are more than occasionally expressed in very much the same
language".
