sophy. In addition, Darwin's interpretation of evolution–that evolution had
come about through the operation of natural selection–gave them an alter-
native hypothesis to the prevailing teleological explanation of the obser-
ved fact that all forms of life are adapted to their conditions. 85
Tom Bethell, of Harper's Magazine, explains the fundamental link bet-
ween Marx and Darwin in the following manner:
Marx admired Darwin's book not for economic reasons but for the more fun-
damental one that Darwin's universe was purely materialistic, and the exp-
lication of it no longer involved any reference to unobservable, nonmaterial
causes outside or 'beyond' it. In that important respect, Darwin and Marx
were truly comrades. 86
Today the link between Darwinism and Marxism is an obvious truth
accepted by everyone. Biographies of Marx always make this plain. For
example, a biography of Karl Marx describes the link in this way:
"Darwinism presented a whole string of truth supporting Marxism and pro-
ving and developing the truth of it. The spread of Darwinist evolutionary
ideas created a fertile ground for Marxist ideas as a whole to be taken on bo-
ard by the working class… Marx, Engels, and Lenin attached great value to
the ideas of Darwin and pointed to their scientific importance, and in this
way the spread of these ideas was accelerated." 87
As we have seen, Marx and Engels were delighted to believe that
Darwin's concept of evolution formed a scientific support for their own
atheist world view. But this delight proved to be premature. The theory of
evolution saw wide acceptance because it was proposed in a primitive
th
19 century scientific environment and was full of errors lacking any sort
of scientific proof. Science, which developed in the second half of the 20 th
century, revealed the invalidity of the theory of evolution. This meant the
collapse of Communist and materialist thinking as much as it did of Dar-
winism. (For further details see The Evolution Deceit by Harun Yahya). But
because scientists with materialist views knew that the collapse of Darwi-
nism also meant the collapse of their own ideologies they tried all possib-
le methods to conceal Darwinism's collapse from people.
