Darwin to Hitler
The Order's belief is in the ancient creeds, the Forma Roma is featured on our web site, but any of the creeds or confessions that contain the essentials are acceptable. Our cohort uses the Apostles Creed and Nicene-Constantinople Creed that affirms the belief that God created the heavens and the earth, of all things visible and invisible
A world view that holds these beliefs is critical - I wonder if that's why God put it as the very first thing in the Bible?
What can happen when man begins to believe that he is is the result of some chemical accident rather than a created being - created in God's image? The German Nietzche undoubtedly had Darwin's theory of the origin of man in mind when he declared that there was no God, no right or wrong. The idea of social evolution was generalized out of the biological theory of evolution... that is, we get socially "better" as time goes on (whatever better might mean to you, or perhaps to Hitler, Pol Pot, or Bin Laden, or to millions of unborn who never see the light of day)
I commend this book review by the Rev. Jacobse for a summary of Richard Weikart's book
From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany
