As already stated, one of Darwinism's main deceptions is
the claim summed up in terms like "the struggle for survival"
and "the survival of the fittest." According to evolutionists' unre-
alistic claims, life is a sphere of conflict and competition for all
living things, including man. In such a world, there is no place
for features of proper morality such as love, respect, cooperation
or altruism.
In The Descent of Man, Charles Darwin wrote that humanity
had reached its current position through struggle, that it had to
continue to struggle in order to progress, and that no law should
be allowed to impede that process:
Man, like every other animal, has no doubt advanced to his pre-
sent high condition through a struggle for existence consequent
on his rapid multiplication; and if he is to advance still higher he
must remain subject to a severe struggle.
Otherwise he would soon sink into indolence, and the more
highly-gifted men would not be more successful in the battle of
life than the less gifted. Hence our natural rate of increase, though
leading to many and obvious evils, must not be greatly dimin-
ished by any means. There should be open competition for all
men... 174
In the dark world imposed by Darwinism, the important
thing is for people to spend their whole lives in struggle. Yet this
claim lacks any scientific validity, and is also incompatible with
reason and logic. When such dangerous suggestions are put into
practice, honesty and heroism, loyalty and devotion will be re-
placed by hypocrisy and selfishness, mendacity and disloyalty;
and only those who possess these negative characteristics will
be victorious. The foundations on which Darwinism bases its
