Belsen 70 years ago today.

For those of you who believe in the Ascent of Man (written by Charles Darwin  over a century ago) scenes such as greeted the liberating British forces must be difficult to fit into your formula of life.
70 years ago today, through the perimeter fence of Belsen Concentration Camp, living skeletons peered vacantly at the British soldiers who had arrived to liberate them. These effigies of the living dead who wandered around aimlessly among the piles of corpses  of their former inmates were the detrius of Hitler's final solution.
After all, encouraged by atheistic doctrines of evolution and the survival of the fittest, why should any one other than the Master Arian race be allowed to live and propagate?
Let the inferior peoples of the Jews and the gypsies be enslaved or eliminated, it was just the logical interpretation of the godless creed of natural selection.
Let no one ever think that this ideology can be fitted neatly into the great Gospel of Salvation through Jesus Christ, where every one is created by God, every one is known to God, every one is  of value to God and every one can be ultimately redeemed by the love of God in the cross of Jesus Christ.
The two messages are as antithetical as Heaven and Hell and in one of those two places rests the culmination of either creed.
