An Introduction
Theory of evolution is a philosophy and a conception of the World that produces false hypotheses, assumption and imaginary scenarios in order to explain the existence and origin of life in terms of mere coincidences. The root of this philosophy goes back as far as antiquity and ancient Greece.
All atheist philosophies that deny creation, directly or indirectly, embrace and defend the idea of evolution. The same condition today applies to all the ideologies and systems that are antagonistic to religion. The evolutionary notion has been cloaked in a scientific disguise for the last century and a half in order to justify itself. Though put forward as a supposedly scientific theory during the mid-19th century, the theory, despite all the best efforts of its advocates, has not so far been verified by any scientific finding or experiment. Indeed, the "very science" on which the theory depends so greatly has demonstrated and continues to demonstrate repeatedly the theory has no merit in reality.
Laboratory experiments and probabilistic calculations have definitely made it clear that the amino cells from which life arises cannot have been formed by chance. Darwin's fanciful ideas were seized upon and promoted by certain ideological and political circles and the theory became very popular. The main reason was that the level of knowledge of those days was not yet sufficient to reveal that Darwin's imaginary scenarios were false. When Darwin put forward his assumptions, the disciples of genetics, microbiology and biochemistry did not yet exist.
Most people think the theory of evolution was first prepared by Charles Darwin, and rests on scientific evidence, observations and experiments. However, in the same way that Darwin was not its originator neither does the theory rest on scientific proof. The theory consists of an adaptation of an ancient dogma called materialistic philosophy. Although no scientific evidence backs it up, this theory is being blindly supported in the name of materialistic philosophy.
This fanaticism has resulted in a major shift in human being’s belief. That is because together with the spread of Darwinism and the materialistic philosophy it supports, the answer to the question: "What is a human being?" Has changed. People who used to believe that, "Human beings were created by God and have to live according to the morality" now began to think that, "Man came into being by chance."
The Origin of Species did not fair well at the hands of its critics. Perhaps more works were published in the first 50 years after 1859 that tried to discredit or disprove Darwin than those that supported him. Darwin’s own modest statement that he was a poor writer has been echoed incessantly. There is no doubt that the Origin has its share of clumsy sentences and poorly formulated phrases. Darwin has been accused, and up to a point quite rightly, of not giving sufficient credit to his precursors. The Origin has no bibliography; there are no footnotes with references to the literature. (On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin with an introduction by Ernnst May p {xx – xxi} Harvard University Press 1966).
In the opening half of the nineteenth century throughout Europe, members of the ruling classes gathered to discuss the newly discovered "Population problem" and to devise ways of implementing the Malthusian's mandate, to increase the morality rate of the poor" (Thomas Robert Malthus, The Principle of Population in 1798). Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country side we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage settlements in all marshy and unwholesome situations. "and so forth so on". (Theodore D. Hall, the Scientific Background of the Nazi Race publication programme).
The well-known British professor of history James Joll explains in his book "Europe since 1870", that one of the factors that prepared the ground for World War – I, was the belief in Darwinism of European rulers at the time. For instance, the Austro-Hungarian chief of staff, Franz Boron Conrad von Hoetzendoff , wrote in his post-war memoirs: "Philanthropic religions, moral teachings and philosophical doctrines may certainly sometimes serve to weaken mankind's struggle for existence in it crudest form, but they will never succeed in removing it as a driving motive of the world. It is in accordance with this great principle that the catastrophe of the World War came about as the result of the motive forces in the lives of states and peoples, like a thunderstorm which by its nature discharge itself." (James Joll, Europe Since 1870: AN international History, Penguin Books, Middlesex, 1990).
Friedrich von Bernardi, a World War I general, made a similar connection between War and the Laws of War in Nature. "War" declared Bernardi, is a biological necessity", it "is a necessary as the struggle of the elements of nature", it "gives a biologically just decision, since its decisions rest on the very nature of things (M.F. Ashley Montagu, Man in Process, New York: World Publication Co., 1961, W.E. Lammers (ed.) Scientific Studies in Special Creationism, 1971. p. 338-339).
World War I, left behind 8 million dead, hundreds of ruined cities, and millions of wounded, crippled, homeless and unemployed. The basic cause of World War II, which broke out 21 years later and left 55 million dead behind it, was also based on Darwinism.
Russian communists who followed in the footsteps of Marx and Engles, such as Palkhanov, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, all agreed with Darwin's theory of evolution. Palkhanov, who is considered as the founder of Russian communism, regarding Marxism as "Darwinism in its application to social science (Robert M. Young, DARWIN EVOLUTION AND HUMAN HISTORY, Historical Studies on Science and Belief, 1980).
Mao, who established communist rule in China and killed millions of people, openly stated that Chinese socialism is founded upon Darwin and the Theory of Evolution. (Mehnert, Kampf um Mao's Erbe, Deutsche Verlags – Anstart, 1977).
A professor of law Philip Johnson, University of California at Berkeley, enjoys taking on the theory of evolution … even if it means swimming against the tide in a place not exactly known as a bastion for anti-Darwinist views. Johnson's central argument is that Darwinism rests on faulty logic and flawed evidence, such as, fossil records with gaping holes. More important, he says, the theory is based on the philosophy of naturalism which includes the assumption that the physical world is all that exists. Darwin, he notes, attributes "randomness" to the universe and, it troubles him that in doing so makes "purposeless" the only acceptable scientific explanation for existence.
Another scientist, Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, who holds a PhD in Physical Anthropology writes, "Darwin's scientific errors are legion." Scott and Johnson, do agree on one thing. "Just as I don't want a fundamental teaching that God created the World in a science class." Scott says, "I don't want a philosophical materialist teaching students that there's no possibility that God created it." Johnson says special interest groups keep promoting Darwinism for their own belief "Scientists want the public to accept a naturalistic picture of evolution because then they think the public will trust scientific priesthood to solve all problems and will finance them." He said.
Sir Arthur Keith, himself had said that Darwin had done more than anyone to lift the pail of superstition from mankind and described Darwinism as a "basal doctrine in the rationalist liturgy." No doubt he was referring to the decline of Christianity in the West and Darwinism as the main cause of that decline. But to its critics and opponents, the advent of evolutionary doctrine and its immense influence, which no other theory connected with a particular science has ever acquired, have only brought about an unprecedented intellectual and moral crisis in the history of human civilization. It has destroyed the religious faiths of many people, undermined the faiths of many others and shaken the moral system of many cultures and religions to their very foundations.
