                  Darwinism: The Source of Corrupted Values


                      The theory of evolution proposes that life emerged coin-
                 cidentally and then developed and evolved as a consequence
                 of the struggle for survival. Consequently, Darwinism's un-
                 derlying message is that you are not answerable to anyone;
                 that you owe your life to coincidence; and that you must fight
                 and, if necessary, oppress others in order to survive, as you

                 are living in a world of self-interest and conflict. These are the
                 moral implications of such Darwinist slogans as natural selec-
                 tion, struggle for survival, and survival of the fittest. Obviously,
                 this worldview is the exact opposite of the worldview based
                 on religious morality. Moreover, if forms the basis of the an-
                 ti-religion front.
                      Studying society's values is enough to expose
                 Darwinism's destructive nature. When we look at present-
                 day societies, we see that most people live for self-preserva-

                 tion, a good job, material wealth, more money, entertainment
                 – in other words, for success in the struggle for survival. Such
                 people naturally seek a good and happy life. However, reli-
                 gious morality also requires people to take care of the needy,
                 cooperate with each other, and avoid selfishness. Darwinism
                 does not concern itself with other people; in fact, it teaches its
                 adherents that if any benefit can be had from the hardship of

                 others, so be it.
                      Especially among the young people, luxurious houses
                 and cars, unlimited financial means, fame, wealth, and pow-
                 er have become ideals. Not wondering about the purpose of
