With the spread of Darwinism and the materialist philosophy it supports, the answer to the question 'What is a human being?' has changed. People who used to answer: 'Human beings were created by God and have to live according to the beautiful morality He teaches' have now begun to think that 'Man came into being by chance, and is an animal who developed with the fight for survival.' Violent ideologies such as racism, fascism and communism, and many other barbaric world views based on conflict have all drawn strength from this deception.

Left to their own devices, Malthus calculated that the human population increased rapidly. In his view, the main influences that kept populations under control were disasters such as war, famine and disease. In short, according to this brutal claim, some people had to die for others to live.
> As a result of this cruel policy, the weak, and those who lost the struggle for survival would be eliminated, and as a result the rapid rise in population would be balanced out. This so-called 'oppression of the poor' policy was actually carried out in 19th century Britain. An industrial order was set up in which children of eight and nine were made to work six hours a day in the coal mines and thousands died from the terrible conditions. The 'struggle for survival' demanded by Malthus's theory led to millions of Britons leading lives full of suffering.
> Influenced by these ideas, Darwin applied this concept of conflict to all of nature, and proposed that the strong and the fittest emerged victorious from this war of existence.. On the other hand, he invited people to abandon their religious beliefs by denying creation, and thus aimed at all ethical values that could prove an obstacle to the ruthlessness of the 'struggle for survival.'

> A strong Darwinist influence can be seen in Nazi ideologues. When one examines this theory, which was given shape by Adolf Hitler and Alfred Rosenberg, one comes across such concepts as 'natural selection,' 'selected mating,' and 'the struggle for survival between the races,' which are repeated dozens of time in The Origin of Species. When calling his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Hitler was inspired by the Darwinist struggle for survival and the principle that victory went to the fittest.

> While fascists are found on the right wing of Social Darwinism, the left wing is occupied by communists. This relationship between Darwinism and communism goes right back to the founders of both these 'isms.' Marx and Engels, the founders of communism, were amazed at the 'dialectical materialist' attitude in Darwin's book, The Origin of Species. Both Marx and Engels saw Darwin's theory as 'containing the basis in natural history for communism.'

> There is an unbreakable link between the theory of evolution and communism. The theory claims that living things are the product of chance, and provides a so-called scientific support for atheism. Communism, an atheist ideology, is for that reason firmly tied to Darwinism. Moreover, the theory of evolution proposes that development in nature is possible thanks to conflict (in other words 'the struggle for survival') and supports the concept of 'dialectics', which is fundamental to communism.

The three divine religions that most people in the world believe in, Islam, Christianity and Judaism, all oppose violence. All three religions wish to bring peace and harmony to the world, and oppose innocent people being killed and suffering cruelty and torture. Conflict and violence violate the morality that God has set out for man, and are abnormal and unwanted concepts. However, Darwinism sees and portrays conflict and violence as natural, justified and correct concepts that have to exist.

That is because they are ruthlessly committing a crime that religion forbids, and in such a way as to blacken religion in peoples' eyes.

I have to agree with you. "Survival of the Fittest" is one of the
most hypocritical slogans ever invented. It was designed to counter
the "Survival of the Godliest" which has been the rule since the
beginning of time.
The Victorian age was built on colonialism and lassiz faire Capitalism.
Darwin himself married into the Wedgewood pottery fortune and proceeded
to enjoy a lifetime hobby of bug collecting supported by his newly
found fortune, and he created survival of the fittest to justify it.
Evolution, genetics and natural selection as anyone knows is a
true scientific theory. However, as Owen, Roux and Lamarck knew, it
is also a 2nd-rank theory. It turns out that the biological explanation
of God is the 1st-rank theory that Sir Owen and the others were looking
for when the insurgents under Darwin deliberately derailed the effort
in order to preserve Lassiz faire Capitalism. Only now, 150 years later
are we rediscovering the trail Owen, Roux and Lamarck were on, which
leads to a scientific proof of God, and a far more important and
fundamental discovery in Biology than Evolution. And finally, the
axiomatic scientific proof of God and Religion.
