Why does everyone say that the Holocaust was horrible when w/ Evolution there is no wrong or right?

Question

Don't give me any "because it's politics" and whatnot. If Evolution is true, it was survival of the fittest and Nature "selected" Hitler to seem to be top dog for some time, but in the end "chose" the Allies to win WW2

Answer 1

The idea of evolution is much more complex than "survival of the fittest", it is actually survival of mentally fittest, all our physical development and intellectual and spiritual development is guided by the exercise of our mental faculties. Might does not make right, right makes right. The Nazis just like the barbaric tribes in Africa were conquered, because they worshipped tribalism/racism rather than God and morality. No matter how hard a race/nation tries to conquer the world, they can't unless their intent is moral, such as it was moral for the British empire to conquer the corrupted Mughal empire of India, and bring civilized culture to India. Humans are much more mentally developed than apes, to the point that you can't conquer other humans throguh mere might on the basis of tribal/racial hatred. Every human has the ability to love humans of other races/tribes and understand how we are all part of the same human family, that is why racists/tribalists have alays been defeated throughout history.

The unlimited access of knowledge and international communication is becoming more and more available to common people in the world, and it is becoming more and more harder for history to repeat itself. The trend of human history is toward human unity, peace, and prosperity, not toward racial/tribal divisions, war, and poverty.

Every single race has produced individuals that have reached extremely high intellectual, mental, physical capacities. This proves that all humans are the same, and we all have a soul/personality as individuals, just because most of the people of a race are evil, that does not mean that all of them are evil. The unseen does exist, because of the many cases of poltergeist. We will never see satan or God, because they are made out of non-material things. When Moses asked to see God, a part of the mountain burned to ashes, just by God revealing a part of itself, this is the quality of God, the creator of the entire universe. God is the evolver, God helps those who help themselves and have faith in themselves.

Answer 2

Lets put one thing straight first.
PURE Science and PURE Religion do not contradict each other
Evolution is a Scientific THEORY it is NOT Pure Science.
God has Created Rules and follows them.
God is Logical he does not contradict himself.
There is only ONE True Religion.

Evolution is a theory that all living creatures evolved from some a common evolutionary ancestor.
Evolution also states that this creature evolved from rocks and rain. the reverse steps are
animals and plants - single celled organism - prehistoric cell and mitocondria and chloroplasts - ooze that contains building blocks of life - rocks and acid rain - lava and gases from volcanoes.
that is what unpure-science claims you evolved from
Evolutionary Theory also is missing too many pieces to make a detailed map or picture. like making a puzzle with only 0.1% to 1% of the pieces. doesn't work period.

and since religion gives the only other alternative i'll have to go with the belief that we ARE created by God.
after all how does a quatinary biological programing language (DNA) that works actually come into existance by accident.
there is too much order in the universe for it to have just happened.

Answer 3

I am really bored with people that won't read a basic biology text but will mis-characterize the theory as something it's not then attack the straw man they created in order to critique the theory of evolution anyway. For example survival of the fittest includes having the mental capacity to figure out that cooperation produces more individual survival than competition. Even ants can figure this out, but you need God to explain it to you I guess.

Do you really think that humanity did not have a taboo against murder before Moses came down the mountain with ten commandments? Do you really think cultures who lack a belief in the Christian god had no rules against theft, killing, sexual infidelity? Because all societies had such rules long before there was an Israel or a Bible.

If I kick you up side your empty head, will it only hurt if Jesus tells you it hurts? Or can you figure that out all by yourself? And since we both can figure out being kicked in the head hurts, could we decide to cooperate with each other and not kick each other in the head by mutual agreement and call that law? You know, even lower animals can figure out that they all eat better if they cooperate,but you make humans exceptionally stupid so they require a god to explain it?

And Hitler lost because he took on too many enemies on too many fronts, not because he was immoral.

Someone who can type isn't illiterate, so why do they attack a theory they have not bothered to understand? Why do they draw insipid conclusions about recent world history that any basic text book would correct? Why is the well understood and documented process of human socialization so miraculous and mysterious to them? It could be a devil is preventing them from reading anything that contradicts the lies it's fed them about evolution, or it could just be boundless intellectual laziness! Oh look! I didn't have to wait for a god to explain that to me!!! It's a miracle!!!

Answer 4

That's some pretty twisted logic there. Evolution does not negate a person or animals compassionate nature and common understanding of right and wrong. Hitler had syphilis dude and was never close to a superior being. That is again just part of your twisted logic. Wrong and right are pretty much part of the human package because it wasn't all wild mayhem before that book was written and don't forget that millions and millions of "Native" people all over the world who have never heard the "word of god" aren't living in boiling sin either man. Open your eyes and your heart will follow. Don't blindly believe from fear of hell.

Answer 5

What makes you think that fittest means most ruthless and murderous? What about the musicians, artists, thinkers, doctors, teachers, parents, soldiers and people with valuable genes who would all have made a beneficial contribution to the development of the species had they not been murdered. Who knows what Mozart, what Einstein, what Leonardo ended up in Auschwitz.

All wiped out because a pathetic maniac with nothing to contribute to the gene pool grabbed power and wiped out better men and women.

He assumed that virtues like compassion and generosity were defects, ignoring the many times that they actually contribute to the survival of all.

Answer 6

Evolution does not try to explain or account for a war, or one group of people wiping out another group (or trying to) on that kind of scale.

The idea of evolution is thatr minor biological changes lead to a very slight advantage on an individual level. It could be that one large group of people IS genetically superior in some way to another, but evolution would tell us then that as the two intermingled, the dominant group would tend to procreate more effectively than the other.

Yes, Hitler thought his "race" was superior. I presume he thought they'd gotten that way through evolution. But trying to exterminate those he considered inferior has absolutely nothing to do with evolution.

If a murderer kills a bunch of people, is (s)he genetically superior to them all? No. And it pretty likely that the murderer's genes will NOT get passed on, whereas the victims, assuming they were adults, are much more likely to have passed on their genes.

The allies winning WWII has nothing to do with evolution. If you believe it does, then you misunderstand the theory.

Answer 7

We are the ones that created the concept of good/bad. It is not fact at all and does not withstand the investagation with other cultures. In our world many antropologist study other cultures and come up with human universals, these are rituals and beliefs that are the same worldwide. Very few of these universals include certain ethics. Some believe in killing others, some eating others, some survival of the fittest.

Nature is neutral, there is no right or wrong for mother nature.

Answer 8

Nature didn't select Hitler to be to be top dog, other people selected him. Nature didn't chose the Allies to win WW2, we won because we were stronger, had better weapons, and better strategy. Oh, and because our leaders weren't insane. Nature had nothing to do with it. It wasn't lightening bolts, floods, or earthquakes that defeated the Axis powers. It was people.

Answer 9

would you claim the same for slavery....just curious...survival of the fittest was never meant to mean insane men with political permission can kill six million people, or enslave probably more.
Should children with diminished capacity be killed, do I have the right to murder someone weaker than myself simply because he is weaker? Your question is so far out there, Darwin never sanctified murder. By your completely irrational thinking all crimes of humanity would be correct.

Answer 10

Why are you making the assumption that survival of the fittest means the most vicious and violent? 'Fitness' also needs to take in other things we do for survival like cooperating.

Maybe the most 'fittest' are the most compassionate.
