he greatest catastrophe visited by Darwinism upon
T mankind was without doubt to turn people away from
religion. A violent moral and spiritual collapse swiftly
comes to societies which turn away from religion. The-
re are many examples of this in societies in our day.
At this point some people will say that Darwinism cannot be held
responsible for peoples' lack of religion because a large number of those
people who live a life without religion have never heard of the claims of
Darwinism. The second part of this objection is true. These days the num-
ber of people who defend Darwinism in a knowledgeable way is limited.
But this restricted minority are people who direct society's ideas in most
fields. The influence they have developed on society reaches countless pe-
ople. They have the possibility of imposing their world view on a large
section of society. For instance, the best-known university professors, a
large part of famous cinema directors, and editors of world-famous pub-
lishing houses, newspapers, and magazines are for the most part evoluti-
onists, and therefore naturally atheists. For which reason, the parts of so-
ciety they address are affected by them and influenced by their evoluti-
onary and anti-religious thinking. As a result, societies emerge where the-
se perverse ideas are widely accepted.
Ernst Mayr, a Harvard University biologist and one of the world's fo-
remost evolutionists, describes the place of the theory of evolution in the
life of society in these words:
Since Darwin, every knowing person agrees that man is descended from the
apes… Evolution has an impact on every aspect of man's thinking: his philo-
sophy, his metaphysics, his ethics… 131
