Am i the only person who notices disturbing parallels between the two? I'm not implying that Creationists are in any way Nazis, but:
1) Both reject accepted science/history because it doesn't conform to centuries-old beliefs
2) Both follow leaders who are prepared to knowingly twist facts but still believe themselves to be correct
3) Both will seize any tiny gap in accepted knowledge and proclaim it as proof of their beliefs
4) Both believe that accepted fact is infact a distortion caused by a massive underground conspiracy
Thoughts? Comments? Disagreements?

The most disturbing thing is that there are some Creationist that are also Holocaust Deniers. The reality is that there are many people that really just don't want to think for themselves, they are very happy to live in a world that has been made simple, and uncomplicated. They don't want to deal with things like biology, chemistry, physics, or any other science that has actually made their life better. Myself as a skeptic must accept that they are they way they are and they are not going to change and that trying to force them to see reason will only make them even more fearful of the idea of thinking for themselves.

it fairly is totally hard to split the connotations of the Holocaust from the different attention. Creationists do not share any of the connotation, so in that way the two at the instant are not superb to earnings. I do see your component approximately having a preconception which reasons the ignoring of info which disagree with the preconception, yet it fairly is very insignificant interior the familiar societal view of the Holocaust.

Actually, I'm noticing disturbing parallels in the number of people who are misunderstanding one part or another of your question.
Or the effects of their own beliefs.

Wow, dude, I'm not a creationalist but you're way off the wall with that one. Creationalism is a belief trying to give glory to God. If someone interprets Genesis that way they are not hurting anyone. But people who deny the holocaust happened are trying to ignore the torture and murder of millions of innocent Jews. That is very hurtful and offensive. I would never group the 2 together.

Adolf Hitler, he believed in evolution. He thought that at one time evolution had created the perfect race. Atlantis. Then after their flood he believed that there were direct descendants of the Atlanteans, and that the Jews weren't perfect....
He was trying to speed up evolution by eliminating the inferior race....

I'm confused - your question refers to holocaust deniers and Nazis (which are quite frequently two very different things) - which ones are you talking about?

Yes, and the fervor and total lack of evidence possessed by the church people, are matched by the fervor and total lack of evidence possessed by the Hitler people when they were in their heyday.

I am a born-again christian who knows for a fact that the holocaust happened...I don't deny it.
And since when did Jesus twist any facts?

I don't usually defend creationists because I regard them as low lifes but I think the link between them and Nazism is very spurious.
