Most businessmen who supported unrestrained capitalism
had actually been raised as believers in God. Later, however,
under the influence of Darwinism's false suggestions, they
abandoned their belief. For example, the American industrialist
Andrew Carnegie, one of the foremost names in the steel indus-
try in the 19th century, had first been devoted to Christianity. In
his autobiography, Carnegie openly described how he and
many of his friends had fallen under the deceptions of
Darwinism.
However, the theory of evolution that Carnegie regarded as
a fact, consisted of falsehood in its entirety. In the years that fol-
lowed, advances in the world of science revealed the true face of
that deception. Yet at that time, other businessmen who made
the same error as Carnegie accepted savage capitalism as a re-
sult of Darwinist suggestion. This led them into regarding ruth-
less competition as perfectly justified to make even more money,
and into attaching no value to altruism and human life.
Carnegie thought that competition
was an inevitable law of life and con-
structed his entire philosophy upon
that error. He maintained that, al-
though the law of competition
made it difficult for some peo-
ple, it was best for the race, be-
cause it ensured the survival
of the fittest in every depart-
ment. 27
