The Disasters Darwinism Brought To Humanity

Fascism and communism, which made humanity suffer dark times, are considered to be opposed ideas. However, these ideologies are fed from the same source, on the grounds of which they can attract masses to their side. This source is the materialist philosophy and its adaptation to nature, which is Darwin's theory of evolution. The acknowledgement of the scientific invalidity of this theory that serves as a basis for cruel dictators and vicious ideological trends will bring about the end of all these detrimental ideologies.
The Disasters Darwinism Brought To Humanity
Introduction
The Bringers of Pain to the 20th Century
The 20th century, which we have just left behind us, was a century of war and conflict, leading to disasters, pain, massacres, poverty, and enormous destruction. Millions of people were killed, massacred, abandoned to hunger and death, and left without home or shelter, protection, or support. And all for nothing: in the name of serving deviant ideologies. Millions were left exposed to inhuman treatment that not even animals should be allowed to suffer. On nearly every occasion there were despots' and dictators' signatures beneath all the suffering and disasters: Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco… While some of these men shared the same ideology, others were enemies to the death. For the simple reason that their ideologies were opposed to each other, they dragged societies into conflict and turned brother against brother, having them start wars, throw bombs, burn and destroy cars, homes, and shops, and hold riotous demonstrations. Putting weapons in their hands, they had them pitilessly beat the young, the old, men, women, and children to death or stand them against a wall and shoot them… They were ruthless enough to hold a gun to a person's head and, looking into his eyes, kill him, and crush his head with their feet, just because he supported another idea. They ejected people from their homes, whether women, children, or the elderly…
That is a short resume of the nightmares of the 20th century that we have just emerged from: people who supported conflicting ideas and who drowned mankind in pain and blood in the name of supporting these ideologies
Fascism and Communism come at the head of the ideologies that caused mankind to suffer those dark days. These are seen as enemies, as ideas that tried to destroy each other. In actual fact, there is a most interesting truth here: for these ideologies were nourished by a single ideological source, drew strength and support from that source, and, thanks to that source, were able to draw societies to their side. At first sight, this source has never drawn any attention, has always remained behind the scenes up until now, and has always shown people its innocent-looking face. That source is the materialist philosophy, and DARWINISM, the state of that philosophy as adapted to nature.
Darwinism emerged in the 19th century as the restating of a myth, dating back to the Sumerians and Ancient Greece, by the amateur biologist Charles Darwin, and has since then formed the fundamental idea behind all the ideologies that have been harmful to mankind. Wearing a so-called scientific mask, it allowed these ideologies and their supporters' practical measures to win a false legitimacy.
By means of this false legitimacy the theory of evolution soon left the fields of knowledge of biology and palaeontology and began to comment on fields from human relations to history, and to influence fields from politics to social life. Because some particular claims of Darwinism supported several currents of thought which began to come into motion and take shape in the 19th century, it gained wide support from these circles. In particular, people began trying to apply the idea that there is a "fight for survival" among living creatures in nature, and as a result, the idea that "the strong survive, the others are defeated and disappear" began to be applied to human thought and behaviour. When Darwinism's claim that nature was a place of struggle and conflict began to be applied to human beings and societies, Hitler's deviation of building a master race, Marx's claim that "the history of mankind is the history of class struggle," capitalism's provision for the "strong growing even stronger at the expense of the weak," the colonisation of third world countries by such imperialist nations as Britain and their suffering inhuman treatment, together with the fact that coloured people still face racist attacks and discrimination, all found some kind of justification.
Despite his being an evolutionist, Robert Wright, the author of the book The Moral Animal summarises the disasters that the theory of evolution has brought to the history of mankind in this way:
Evolutionary theory, after all, has a long and largely sordid history of application to human affairs. After being mingled with political philosophy around the turn of the century to form the vague ideology known as "social Darwinism," it played into the hands of racists, fascists, and the most heartless sort of capitalists.1
As will be seen in this book and from the evidence it contains, Darwinism is not just a theory which attempts to explain the origin of life and which is restricted to the field of scientific knowledge. Darwinism is a dogma still stubbornly defended by the supporters of certain ideologies, despite the fact that it has been proven totally invalid from the scientific point of view. In our day many scientists, politicians and men of ideas, whether aware or not of Darwinism's dark face, lend their support to this dogma
If everyone comes to know the scientific invalidity of this theory, which acts as an inspiration for cruel dictators, and ruthless, inhuman, and self-centred mentalities and currents of thought, that will spell the end of these harmful ideologies. Those who do and systematise evil will be unable to defend themselves by saying, "But this is a law of nature." They will have no more so-called scientific backing for their self-centred, selfish, and pitiless world view.
Once the idea of Darwinism, the root of harmful ideologies, is finally overturned, only one truth will remain. That is the truth that all human beings and the universe itself were created by Allah (God). People who understand this will also realise that the only reality and the only truth are in the holy book He sent down to us. When a large majority of people come to realise this truth, the pains, troubles, massacres, disasters, injustices, and poverty in the world will be replaced by enlightenment, openness, wealth, plenty, health and abundance. For this, every false idea harmful to humanity must be conquered and left to rot by the holy idea which will bring beauty to mankind. To reply to stones by throwing others, to answer blows with blows, to answer the aggressor with more aggression is not a solution. The solution is to bring down the ideas of those who do these things and to explain, patiently and kindly, the one truth with which they must replace them.
The aim in writing this book is to show those who defend Darwinism without seeing its dark face, knowingly or unknowingly, what it is they are actually supporting, and to explain what their responsibility will be as long as they pretend not to see the truth of it. Another aim is to warn those who do not believe in Darwinism, but who also do not see Darwinism as a threat to humanity.

As a theory, Darwin's ideas of evolution have yet to be refuted by any reputable scientist.

nonsense

evolution tells us is if we discover a way to kill
ourselves off as a species, nothing in the unvierse
is going to save us. Not God, not the afterlife or
invisible all-powerful friends. Only people who
believe in God dare play with nuclear weapons because
they think some outside agent will save them, like
their father saved them from fire which they played with
as a child. Only athiests understand that there is
life, or there is nothing.

who is the fittest?
14.04.2002 23:01
however, there is another way of interpreting 'survival of the fittest'. in his book 'mutual aid' (published around 1900ish) peter kropotkin argues that the primary (though not the only) factor that determines who is the 'fittest' is not their individual strength, ferocity, selfishness etc. but conversely the most advanced animals are those that have learned to work together the best. for example, a solitary eagle may be bigger, stronger and generally better in every way than a smaller bird, but when the smaller birds learn to support each other and work together they can unite and fight off the eagle (he gives many examples of this occurring in the wild). most genetic advances come about to AVOID competition, not to defeat an enemy ie if two kinds of gazelle are competing for the leaves of a tree they can (a) grow bigger horns and fight off their opponents, a process which is damaging to both species', or (b) one can grow a longer neck (and become a giraffe), eat leaves that are higher up and so not be in competition with the other species any more - a mutually beneficial solution. he gives many examples of this kind of evolution to AVOID competition occurring. he also gives many, many examples of animals working together to achieve a common aim (eg wolf packs, chimpanzee 'tribes', bird flocks, ant nests etc etc) and a lot of them even feature co-operation among different species such as different species of birds uniting to defend a common nesting or feeding site from predators. the most advanced insects are ants & termites, very co-operative animals, the most successful birds are those that co-operate in flocks and which have very complex social interactions, and humans are the most successful mammal not because we are the biggest, strongest or fastest but because we have learned to work together the best. thus 'the survival of the fittest' means the survival of the most sociable, and the feeling of solidarity with our fellow creatures is not some liberal, irrational bollocks but is in fact part of our genetic makeup - we are NATURALLY CONDITIONED to want to help each other and to live together because this is the best way to ensure our survival and thus pass on our genes - unless of course we are artificially turned against each other by the forces criticised in the original post (nationalism, capitalism, communism) or, it has to be said, by religious differences.
i may not have done the book justice in this short space but i'd strongly advise anyone interested in the subject to read it - it's very well researched and very persuasive. it goes on to talk about all the ways in which human beings have instinctively co-operated with each other throughout different stages of civilisation, the trade union movement being the most recent example that was present in kropotkin's time. and it provides a very coherent and effective scientific argument that (a) humans are fundamentally good and (b) we don't need leaders, countries, parties etc. without resorting to religious mysticism. have a read!

writing off religion
15.04.2002 00:19
everybody has their bias and agenda for believing in one or the other.
Concepts of religion are indeed interesting. I sometimes wonder what
the world would be like without religion.
Dis-regarding altogether is a big no no, religion has formed and
shaped the society we live in today, understanding religions and
ideoligies gives us an excellent map of history.

What does 'fittest' really mean?
15.04.2002 10:00
But there is another meaning for ‘fittest’ that we tend to forget, we usually use ‘most fitting’ these days. Fittest can mean most compatible with the situation, which is not necessarily stronget, biggest, most ruthless etc. Stephen Jay Gould makes a strong case that the ‘most fitting’ meaning is the closest to Darwin’s interpretation, rather than the Thatcherite/Blairite spin that the current meaning of ‘fittest’ tends to imply.

Darwin, the only rational explanation!

Darwin was a very great man,and was brave enough to publish his work at a time when religious dogma ruled society,thank goodness we have evolved and begun to question religion more since!
