is encouraged in the written and visual media, despite the fact that it
lacks any scientific basis. Educational institutions portray it as if it were

a proven fact, which leads people to fall under the spell of Darwinism
without their being aware of it As a result young people are not di-
rected in the direction of love, compassion and self-sacrifice, but are in-
clined to turn to crime, violence, and evil.
Darwinism and materialism maintain that human progress is de-
pendent on conflict that results in survival of the fittest. The fact that
this is put forward as if it were scientific truth, and that it has been ex-
pressed by statesmen, rulers and military men over the years, has led to

millions of deaths, huge numbers of people being crippled, and ruined
cities and nations. Mankind has been through two world wars, and is
sinking in conflict, anarchy and terrorism because of Darwinism's
praise of conflict which it sees as essential to progress.
Darwinism regards life as constant struggle, in which the strong
can only survive so long as they are ruthless, and thus views "unfair"
competition as quite justified. If life is a struggle, then war is the only
way to survive, and being ruthless the only way to protect oneself.
According to this perverted idea, the weak and feeble are condemned
to be crushed and eliminated.
Darwinism leads individuals and societies towards ruthlessness

and cruelty, regards war and competition as a biological necessity, and
maintains that bloodshed and suffering (and even the infliction of suf-
fering) are the seeds of progress. It regards all of these as a "law of na-
ture." When such an idea becomes the official ideology of an entire
state, terror will be the inevitable result.
It is for this reason that the elimination and removal of Darwinism
ideology will also mean the elimination of that philosophy of conflict
and its various manifestations. The black face of Darwinism must be

unmasked, and a great effort must be made to help people to recognize
