GENESIS versus DARWINISM: The Demise of Darwin's Theory of Evolution – hinnat ja saatavuus

Ours is a world of violence, greed, sexual perversion, and a thousand other ills. The rebellious nature of fallen man is the fundamental cause of these woes. But the trigger that multiplied and exacerbated existing evils was the "scientific" heresy of Darwinism. An idea is mental dynamite and this new view of human origins motivated heads of nations, leaders of business, and teachers in schools and universities to act on the Darwinian assumptions that life is a violent struggle between competitors where only the fittest (the cruelest) can survive. Results included "legitimized" wars, oppression of the poor and helpless by the rich and powerful, racism, colonialism's increased extortions, and crime. Darwinism also bewildered minds and broke hearts, for sin was no longer sin but only a relic of our animal natures. The most influential philosopher of the nineteenth century was fashioned by the reading of The Origin of Species. Nietzsche became the father of nihilism and violence (Superman). Kaiser Wilhelm, Mussolini, Hitler, and many other dictators absorbed Darwinism through Nietzsche. The speeches of Mussolini and Hitler resound with phrases from the Origin. The Holocaust is the most widely known result. Today there is a "youth bulge" in many nations, especially those belonging to Islam. As higher education becomes part of the cultures of all the world young people in particular discover that life has no meaning, and that the rule governing survival is one not hampered by morality. Those with tender natures who flee from violence against others often turn upon themselves in hopelessness and despair, and suicide rates among adolescents are forever rising higher. In recent decades the scientific evidence against Darwinism has blossomed. Multitudes of scientists of note now reject it. Sadly, most people are unaware of this. Among Christians, especially those of fundamentalist background, recent scientific progress in this area is frequently unknown. Theories have been devised to answer Darwinism that are often inaccurate, and revelation of their errors often leads to disillusionment among believers. Multitudes cling to evolution and always will because it is "the only game in town" for those who reject God. But the pillars of Darwinism-the competitive, violent struggle for existence, the "survival of the fittest," the inheritance of acquired characteristics, the almost infinite number of intermediates (many links), fashioned by gradual, minute changes, the theory of gemmules, racism, etc.-have been shattered. While it is estimated that forty per cent of scientists in general believe in God, prayer, and morality, only about two per cent of those teaching in universities do. Universities are the hotbed of secularism and atheism, and it is here that young Christians enter a lion's den of dangerous ideas without any intellectual and spiritual armor.
