Is the evolutionary doctrine a racist doctrine?

Some people here do not believe in God or religion. Then there were applications of science killing others without mercy. Such as gas chambers of members of certain religions.
Science is amoral, the same science creates x-rays and atom bombs, it is the users that determine the morality of the use.
The guards at the concentration camps had the motto God with us on their uniforms. Is chemistry immoral or was it the guards?

Or was it possibly also the idea of eugenics combined with religious hatred of certain groups? Similar to the idea of white supremacy.

Why is the why important?
Why isn't it? This is also including religious hatred and superiority as well as classification of groups and evolution. Why do you think governments classify groups of people into races?

"New data on human genetic variation has reignited the debate about a possible biological basis for categorization of humans into races. Most of the controversy surrounds the question of how to interpret the genetic data and whether conclusions based on it are sound. Some researchers argue that self-identified race can be used as an indicator of geographic ancestry for certain health risks and medications." Health risks, isn't that something. Back to scientists debating about definitions of all things...and what constitutes a race. And why distinctions can be important.

You were the one who spoke of an "average Hebrew." describing that one as 5'2"
lol, you're kind of funny. But that's ok.
When you ask a question that shows you are trying not to understand you cannot demand a serious response.

Can you try to argue rationally? I thought that you were going to try to support your claims. You have done nothing.

In those days almost any "premature birth" would be a miscarriage. The fetus or embryo would die. If the fetus was a person the death penalty would be the first thing it mentioned. Not the last.

That was actually Christians that did that. A country that was about 90% oops! 95% Christian:

Nazi Germany was an overwhelmingly Christian nation. A census in May 1939, six years into the Nazi era[1] after the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia[2] into Germany, indicates[3] that 54% of the population considered itself Protestant, 41% considered itself Catholic, 3.5% self-identified as Gottgläubig[4] (lit. "believing in God"),[5] and 1.5% as "atheist".[4] Protestants were over-represented in the Nazi Party's membership and electorate, and Catholics were under-represented.[6][7][8][9][10]

I think you misunderstood the scripture but you're leaning on a wrong translation as far as I am concerned and I think you are doing that deliberately. Look at it again. A premature birth with no harm does not mean miscarriage which carries the implication of death.

Yeah the religious hatred was Christians for Jews, now it is Christians for Muslims or whites for non-whites, Christians with this hatred and no understanding of biology and history came up with a false idea to justify their hatred.

because it is politically expedient though it causes strife for no good reason. Atheists dislike this, Christians pay lip service to the idea.

So then how would you explain how and if religious people put into practice what are called by some the two Greatest Commandments?

Does that explain the murders in Israel lately?

Say what?
As an atheist, Do unto others as you would have others do unto you is a rational argument but I have no idea what you think are great commandments.

Right. Laugh. So the "empirical evidence" of the majority of religions in war and fomenting hatred based on nationality or genealogy (ethnicity) is certainly not a real good example of loving others, is it?
