If we really want to put the blame someplace that the ID'ers would understand and agree (and, get them off our backs) then Blame Cane - the First Murderer.
In turn, we blame God for creating Cane's parents who nurtured the first murderer.
Then we all agree that all murders are descendants of Cane - and, the last time I checked - Darwin never killed a human (lots of small organisms, but no humans).
Let's see how the non-ape descendants like them apples and snakes.
Was that Cane from the Sugar tribe?
God did a great job, didn't he?
Of the first four people he created, one of them turned out to be a murderer. Later, after a few generations of terrible people, in an attempt to cleanse humanity of evil, he decides to wipe out everyone but for the best family, Noah's. He does so and what happens? Noah's family immediately starts screwing up and nothing changes.
God apparently isn't very good at what he does.
Though your links are all in facetious fun, I wonder if Witt or Weikart, in ther interest of being comprehensive, had considered giving a Holocaust tip o' the hat to Martin Luther?
Hitler expressed great admiration for Martin Luther and constantly quoted his works and beliefs.

From Luther's, "On the Jews and their Lies" :
" What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews? Since they live among us and we know about their lying and blasphemy and cursing, we can not tolerate them if we do not wish to share in their lies, curses, and blasphemy.
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honor of God and of Christianity in order that God may see that we are Christians, and that we have not wittingly tolerated or approved of such public lying, cursing, and blaspheming of His Son and His Christians.
Secondly, their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed. For they perpetrate the same things there that they do in their synagogues. For this reason they ought to be put under one roof or in a stable, **like gypsies **, in order that they may realize that they are not masters in our land, as they boast, but miserable captives, as they complain of incessantly before God with bitter wailing.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayer-books and Talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threat of death to teach any more...
To sum up, dear princes and nobles who have Jews in your domains, if this advice of mine does not suit you, *** then find a better one so that you and we may all be free of this insufferable devilish burden - the Jews... " ***

Bonus Luther:
"Reason is the Devil's greatest whore; by nature and manner of being she is a noxious whore; she is a prostitute, the Devil's appointed whore; whore eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom ... Throw dung in her face to make her ugly. "
- Martin Luther, Erlangen Edition v. 16, pp. 142-148
"Whoever wants to be a Christian should tear the eyes out of his Reason."
- Martin Luther
Therefore ...
"Idiots, the lame, the blind, the dumb, are men in whom the devils have established themselves: and all the physicians who heal these infirmities, as though they proceeded from natural causes, are ignorant blockheads...."
- Martin Luther
"People gave ear to an upstart astrologer who strove to show that the earth revolves, not the heavens or the firmament, the sun and the moon....This fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy; but sacred scripture tells us [Joshua 10:13]that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth."
"Table Talks"
- Martin Luther
And, yet another reason Bertrand Russell was correct when he wrote, "Why I am not a Christian."
