cept maintains that if a savage lion cannot display virtuous be-
havior by restraining its inner aggression, overcoming its anger,
and exhibiting patience and forgiveness, so will a human being
inevitably behave in the same exact way. Obviously, any society

that harbors such people will lack peace and security, and be in
constant conflict and chaos.
According to the errors of Darwinists and materialists, the
entire universe—human beings included—is the product of a se-
ries of coincidences. As people are indoctrinated with this con-
cept, they begin to imagine they are untrammeled and answer-
able to no one. A person with no aims does not reflect or set out
to improve himself. He is uncaring, mocking, insensitive, unable
to use his conscience, recognizing no bounds or rules. He pos-
sesses no virtues or redeeming features. According to his own
twisted view, he should spend his time in this world in the same
way as others—advanced animals like himself—after meeting
certain basic needs, enjoying himself as much as possible and
then waiting for death. This is a vision of life in the animal king-
dom adapted to human beings. And on closer inspection, you can
see how a great many people live these lives predicted by
Darwinists, even if they remain unaware of the technical details
of Darwinism itself.

But such people fall prey to deep pessimism, depression and
despair because they live aimless lives that must inevitably come
to an end. Believing that with death, everything will vanish and
be as nothing causes people to close in on themselves and become
unhappy. One of the underlying causes of depression, psycholog-
ical disturbances, and suicides are the negative impact of the
Darwinist philosophy on people's minds.
