Sorry to burst your bubble, but Hitler was as much a believer in evolutionary theory as our snowtracks.
I didn't know Hitler made that comment expressing doubt about the evolution of man, while that has changed my mind/burst my bubble, those quotes are from Mein Kampft.
Which means they're still reliant on determining the private beliefs of Hitler based on writings that were specifically meant for his followers to read, as opposed to private conversation or a diary.
Also they're published in 1925, Hitler died in 1945. Which is a 20 year gap, and to put that in perspective with my own life, if I died tomorrow I'd hate it if people used what I said even 10 years ago as proof of what I believed.
Aside from those objections I agree the quotes from Mien Kampft do seem to put Hitler in a similar position to a creationist.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
