It Is a Serious Error to
Underestimate Darwinism
The importance of the intellectual struggle against
Darwinism is crystal clear, but some people still underestimate it
by saying, "What's so important about Darwinism?" or else seek
to obstruct the struggle with a logic running counter to the facts,
along the lines of, "Nobody believes in Darwinism any more, so
there's no need to worry about it." These and similar statements
are really excuses for avoiding the intellectual struggle against
Darwinism.
The fact remains that Darwinism was a system of thought
put forward not as a scientific thesis, but to urge people to deny
God. The theory of evolution and materialist philosophy are two
mutually complementary systems. This unity which was born in

Ancient Greece, re-entered the equation with the primitive scien-
tific understanding of the 19 th century. And since the theory of
evolution supposedly supported materialism—without no regard
as to whether or not it was actually scientific—it was immediate-
ly adopted by materialists.
It is evident that with the spread of Darwinism and the ma-
terialist philosophy that drew support from it, perverted answers
began to be given to the question "What is Man?" Some, who pre-
viously had responded, "Man is an entity created by God who
must live according to the moral precepts taught by Him," now
under the influence of much deceptive indoctrination, began, to
be misled into answering, "Man came into being by chance, and is
an animal that developed through the struggle for survival."

The theory of evolution regards chance, time and inanimate
matter as all-powerful and endows these unconscious concepts
