Darwin's theory harmonizes with the views of Marx and Engels, who be-
lieved that only matter existed, and that the whole of human history can be
explained in material terms. (For more information, please refer to

Light of Modern Science by Harun Yahya, Goodword Books, 2002 and The

2. Darwinism proposed that " "conflict" is the motivating force that brought
about development in living creatures. His basic supposition was that the
natural world's resources weren't sufficient to support living things; that
therefore, organisms had to fight a constant struggle that drove evolution.
The dialectical method adopted by Marx and Engels is the same as
Darwin's. According to dialectics, the single motive force underlying de-
velopment in the universe is the conflict between opposites. Human his-
tory has progressed by means of this conflict. Humanity itself has ad-
vanced in the same way.
When examined closely, the theories of Marx-Engels and Darwin ap-
pear to be in total harmony, as if they have arisen from a single source.
Engels (right) saw Darwin and Marx
(left) as equals, from the point of
view of Communist theory. According
to Engels, Marx applied materialism
to the social sciences, and Darwin ap-
plied it to biology.
