Page 121 - The Intellectual Struggle Against Darwinism

HARUN YAHYA 119

Throughout the world, there are various beliefs, worldviews
and philosophies that may respect the existence of others not like
themselves, seek to establish dialogue with them and to follow a
"humane" path. Or else they may choose the path of conflict and

try to secure an advantage for their own philosophy by damaging
others not like themselves, in other words, to behave like animals.
The spread of terrorism in the world is the result of the sec-
ond path. To combat terrorism, therefore, what needs to be done
is to eliminate its fundamental basis: to engage in an intellectual
struggle against Darwinism. Once Darwinism on the intellectual
plane has been eliminated, terrorist organizations will collapse,
because no scientific foundation remains to them. And the
scourge of terror will finally come to an end.
But so long as efforts are made to preserve Darwinism, and
as long as people are indoctrinated with Darwinist ideas, it will be
impossible to put an end to terror. Teaching Darwinism in
schools, we cannot be surprised at young people who join terror-
ist organizations—because in order to become a terrorist, one
must first believe that the other party is not fully human, that con-
flict is a law of nature, that killing and murder are therefore legit-
imized, and that one has no responsibility toward anyone else—
in other words, one must accept Darwinism. It's meaningless to

speak of love, tolerance, compassion or peace to anyone who was
brought up for long years on the falsehoods that unconscious
molecules combined to give rise to life, that they themselves are a
species of animal, and that progress without conflict is impossi-
ble. Neither asking how he manages ruthlessly killing innocent
people can do any good. It is pointless to expect such an individ-
ual to show any respect for others, to abide by the law, or to obey
the state.
