Line 80: − − ==Impact of Darwin on the 20th century== − [[Image:Hitlerspeech.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Nazi leader [[Adolf Hitler]] was inspired by Darwin's work]]Charles Darwin's work was strongly embraced by many [[atheistic]] regimes of the 20th century, with the expected [[holocaust|catastrophic results]]. It was noted by respected author Dr. Robert E.D. Clark in ''Darwin, Before and After'' that: {{cquote|Adolf Hitler’s mind was captivated by evolutionary teaching — probably since the time he was a boy.

==Charles Darwin and the Cult of Personality==
There is a cult of personality and type of religiousity currently surrounding Charles Darwin. [[Stephen Jay Gould]] wrote the following in 1978: ""... all theories [of natural selection] cite God in their support, and ... Darwin comes close to this status among evolutionary biologists ...".<ref>http://www.bradburyac.mistral.co.uk/dar1.html</ref> In 2002, Michael White similarly wrote: "Of course today, for biologists, Darwin is second only to God, and for many he may rank still higher."<ref>http://www.bradburyac.mistral.co.uk/dar1.html</ref>
