Contemporary evolutionists also note the strong bond between
Darwinism and Marxism. One of today's most famous proponents of the
theory of evolution is the biologist Douglas Futuyma. In the preface to
his Evolutionary Biology, he says, "Together with Marx's materialist the-
ory of history and society… D Darwin hewed the final planks of the plat-
form of mechanism and materialism." 14 Another famous evolutionary
paleontologist Stephen J. Gould, said that "Darwin applied a consistent
philosophy of materialism to his interpretation of nature." 15 Leon
Trotsky who, together with Lenin, was one of the architects of the
Russian Revolution, described the discovery of Darwin as "the highest
triumph of the dialectic in the whole field of organic matter." 16
All this shows the great affinity between Darwinism and Marxism,
that without Darwin's influence, there would have been no Marxist the-
ory. And if Darwinism is invalid, we will understand that Marxism is in-
valid too. But the converse is true as well: In any society where
Darwinism is widely accepted, the growth of Marxism is inevitable.
For this reason, it is very important to understand why Darwinism
has no validity in the fields of either science or sociology. This under-
standing will prevent the revitalization of Marxism which stems from it,
and which is lying in wait today—as well as forestalling any return to

In denying Creation,
Darwin gave
Communism a suppos-

ers of the Bolshevik
Revolution, regarded
Darwin as the proponent
of dialectic materialism
in the field of the natural
sciences.
