material things were of any worth and who were far removed from the fe-
th
atures of any pleasing morality. But from the second half of the 19 cen-
tury people with such views entered a very different period. For the last
150 years people and societies which possess this ruthless make-up have
begun not to be condemned or criticised like the others. Behaviour of this
sort began at last to be accepted as a law of nature. And at this point Dar-
winism had become a false religion justifying immorality and pitilessness.
Robert E. D. Clark explains the situation this way:
Evolution, in short, gave the doer of evil a respite from his conscience. The
most unscrupulous behaviour towards a competitor could not be rationali-
zed; evil could be called good. 129
And H. Enoch wrote in his book Evolution or Creation:
Prof J. Holmes says, "Darwinism consistently applied would measure good-
ness in terms of survival value"... This is the law of the jungle where "might
is right", and the fittest survive. Whether cunning and cruelty, cowardice or
deceit, whatever will enable the individual to survive is good and right for
that individual or that society. 130

to starve because of the capitalist mentality.
