Funny you should mention that because that is the problem we get with evolution. Darwin thought that Blacks were inferior to whites, he also thought women were inferior to men. Hitler was an evolutionist and look what he did to the Jews and homosexuals.
What do the distorted views of a few individuals have to do with the validity of theory of evolution? One could also say that gravity requires that objects follow their natural geodesic, and therefore I should push people off of tall buildings. That a person could concoct such unreasonable consequences of scientific theories has no affect on the actual truth of the theory itself.

And there is a movement among scientists against the theory of evolution.
How many are named Steve?
Seriously, there are a lot of scientists in the world, and the law of averages says that there will be a certain small percentage of them that are loons. That's just a fact of life. I'd hardly say that these are mounting a scientific movement against evolution since those that propose theistic creationism aren't proposing a scientific theory. Maybe you could call it a political movement since its proponents more closely resemble politicians than scientists.

In 100 years we will probably be laughed at for thinking that all this complexity happened by chance.
I'll already laugh at anybody who thinks that evolution proposes "that all this complexity happened by chance," and I hope in 100 years I can still laugh at anyone who thinks that.

The theory of evolution will be placed in its rightful place with spontaneous generation.
Doubtful considering that the mechanisms that drive evolution have been directly observed, and yet spontaneous generation was specifically falsified.
