tempted to keep Darwin's theory alive ever since he first put it forward in the mid-19th century.
Because although the theory is based on a completely imaginary scenario, materialists seized on

it as a supposedly scientific hypothesis.
The evolutionist thinker Mary Midgley expresses this:

It [the theory of evolution] is, and cannot help being, also a powerful folk-tale about human origins.
… Suggestions about how we were made and where we come from are bound to engage our imagi-
nation, to shape our views of what we now are, and so to affect our lives. 17

At the end of his biology text book Life on Earth, the Darwinist biologist Edward O. Wilson

makes this admission on the subject of evolutionist claims:

Every generation needs its own creation myths, and these are ours. 18

"Missing link" propaganda is therefore a deception intended to keep the evolutionary myth
about the origins alive and influential. Evolutionary propaganda is the most important vehicle
materialists have for spreading their views. The concept of the "missing link" is key in terms of
Darwin's fictitious idea of all species being traceable to common ancestors. Therefore, the more
that evolutionists can keep their concept in the spotlight, the more support they hope to muster

for their materialist views. That is behind all their efforts to distract the public from the collapse
of Darwinism by means of "missing link" headlines.

"The first point is that selfishness and violent are inherent in us,
inherited from our remotest animal ancestors ... Violence is, then,
natural to man, a product of evolution."
(P.J. Darlington, Evolution for Naturalists, 1980, pp. 243-244.)
These words, by the evolutionist scientist P. J. Darlington, are significant in show-
ing the true Darwinist mindset. Darwinist ideologies, headed by communism and
fascism, regard human communities as little more than herds of animals, totally
disregarding human and ethical values, and maintaining that all means are legiti-
mate for power and authority. Such beliefs have inflicted terrible cruelty and dev-
astation on mankind.
Joseph Stalin, one bloody communist dictator, said that "In order to disabuse the
minds of our seminary students of the [idea of creation] . . . we had to familiarize
ourselves with Darwin's teachings." (V.I. Lenin, The Attitude of the Worker's Party
to Religion, Proletariat, No.45, May 13, 1909) Mao Tse-tung, who ruthlessly
slaughtered tens of millions of people in China and abandoned millions more
again to starve, stated that "The foundation of Chinese Socialism rests on Darwin
and the theory of evolution." (Black Book of Communism, Harvard University
Press Cambridge, p. 491.) These quotes are direct evidence of how vital
Darwinism is to the survival of bloody Marxist, Leninist and Maoist ideologies.
In his notorious autobiography, Mein Kampf, the fascist leader Adolf Hitler
claimed that the Arian race was naturally superior, and that Darwin's idea of the
"struggle for survival" inspired him in selecting a name for his book. In the 1933
Nurember party rally, Hitler expressed his Darwinist views in the words "higher
race subjects to itself a lower race … a right which we see in nature and which can
be regarded as the sole conceivable right,' (J. Tenenbaum, Race and Reich, New
York: Twayne Pub., 1956, p. 211.) Especially significant is the analysis by the late
evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould that Darwinism became a cause for war in
Germany.
Benito Mussolini, Hitler's greatest ally, based his 1935 invason of Abyssinia on
Darwin's racist views and concept of the struggle for life. He was a dyed-in-the-
wool Darwinist who ascribed the weakening of the British Empire as being due to
"its seeking to avoid war, the main propulsive force of evolution."
