6 Million and Counting

Glenn Branch brought my attention to a book by John Henry Egan. Since it is titled 6 Million and Counting: Darwinism, Atheism and Genocide, I think you can see where it is going. The following appears to encapsulate the gist of this fine work of historical investigation:

Charles Darwin invented the term "sub-human" a phrase used by the Nazis to demonize and murder Jews, gypsies, and many others ...

Darwinism is an Atheistic philosophy, anathema to both Jews and Christians. Leading Darwinists advocate the violent destruction of all religions. Charles Darwin was himself an atheist and advocate of mass murder. Not a single thing is actually known about Darwinian evolution. It is completely theoretical.

Lots of claims, all of them false. Egan has an undergraduate degree in history and "also graduated from the Heartwood Institute for the Natural Healing Arts". But don't worry about his credentials:

Because Mr. Egan is not a specialist devoted to a single discipline, he is able to draw upon information from many fields, including Anthropology, Biology, History and Sociology to argue that Darwin's ideas not only destroyed Europe's thriving and multitudinous Jewish civilization; but also is responsible for the present destruction of America's own unique ethical and moral foundation.

He, apparently, is not a biblical literalist or Christian.

The essay starts off stupidly enough. In 1867 Karl Marx dedicated DasKapital to Charles Darwin. Actually, no, he didn't. It's a fairly common lie in creationist circles, though, just like the others sprinkled throughout the story. Modern creation science is led by an array of top-flight Ph.D.…

A glance at the OED shows the earliest recorded usage of "sub-human" is from 1793.

Because Mr. Egan is not a specialist devoted to a single discipline...

Wow. Argument from lack of authority.
