                  or some people the theory of evolution or Darwinism has only sci-
                  entific connotations, with seemingly no direct implication in their
            F daily lives. This is, of course, a common misunderstanding. Far be-
            yond just being an issue within the framework of the biological sciences,
            the theory of evolution constitutes the underpinning of a deceptive phi-
            losophy that has held sway over a large number of people: Materialism.
                 Materialist philosophy, which accepts only the existence of matter
            and presupposes man to be 'a heap of matter', asserts that he is no more
            than an animal, with 'conflict' the sole rule of his existence. Although prop-
            agated as a modern philosophy based on science, materialism is in fact an
            ancient dogma with no scientific basis. Conceived in Ancient Greece, the
            dogma was rediscovered by the atheistic philosophers of the 18th century.
            It was then implanted in the 19th century into several science disciplines
            by thinkers such as Karl Marx, Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud. In
            other words science was distorted to make room for materialism.
                 The past two centuries have been a bloody arena of materialism: Ide-
            ologies based on materialism (or competing ideologies arguing against ma-
            terialism, yet sharing its basic tenets) have brought permanent violence,
            war and chaos to the world. Communism, responsible for the death of 120
            million people, is the direct outcome of materialistic philosophy. Fascism,
            despite pretending to be an alternative to the materialistic world-view, ac-
            cepted the fundamental materialist concept of progress though conflict and
            sparked off oppressive regimes, massacres, world wars and genocide.
                 Besides these two bloody ideologies, individual and social ethics have
            also been corrupted by materialism.
                 The deceptive message of materialism, reducing man to an animal
            whose existence is coincidental and with no responsibility to any being,
            demolished moral pillars such as love, mercy, self-sacrifice, modesty, hon-
            esty and justice. Having been misled by the materialists' motto "life is a
            struggle", people came to see their lives as nothing more than a clash of in-
