34          FASCISM: THE BLOODY IDEOLOGY OF DARWINISM




                       pagan world. In fact, Nazi Germany, with its system reminiscent of that
                       practiced in Sparta, was based on paganism. Towards this development, a
                       number of fundamental cultural changes were necessary between the French
                       Revolution, at the end of the 18th century, and Nazi Germany, at the beginning
                       of the 20th. These important changes were brought about by a number of
                       thinkers during the 19th century. The most important of these was Charles
                       Darwin.



                              Darwinism and the Revival of the

                              Pagan Superstition of "Evolution"
                              One of the superstitions to survive from paganism, but which only
                       began to be revived in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, was the "theory
                       of evolution," a theory which maintained that all living things came into
                       existence as the result of pure chance, and then developed from one to another.
                              Unaware of the existence of God, and worshipping false idols which
                       they themselves devised, pagans answered the question of how life came about
                       with the concept of "evolution." This notion is first seen in inscriptions from
                       ancient Sumeria, but was given shape in ancient Greece. Pagan philosophers
                       such as Thales, Anaximander and Empedocles, claimed that living things, in
                       other words human beings, animals and plants, formed themselves from such
                                                       inanimate substances as air, fire and water.
                                                       According to their theories, the first living
                                                       things suddenly emerged in water and then
                                                       adapted to the land. Thales had spent time in
                                                       Egypt, where the superstition that "living
                                                       things formed themselves out of mud" was
                                                       widespread. The Egyptians believed that in
                                                       this way the frogs which appeared when the
                                                       waters of the Nile receded were formed.
                                                              Thales adopted the superstition and
                                                       attempted to present a number of arguments
                                                       on its behalf, proposing that all living things
                                                       came into existence by and of themselves.
                                                       These claims of his were based solely in
                                                       theory, not on experiment and observation.
                                                       Other ancient Greek philosophers employed
                      Thales, one of the first
                      proponents of the myth
                      of "evolution."
