The Insidious Effects of Darwin's Evolution

In 1889 Charles Darwin the English naturalist published what he called The Origin Of Species By Means Of Natural Selection, Or The Preservation Of Favored Races In The Struggle For Life".

Darwin argued that animal species did not originate in the divine act of creation as portrayed in the Bible. According to Darwin animal species evolved as results of natural change over time or missing the opportunity to adapt to an environment which also changed.

In another book, before he wrote The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Or The Preservation Of Favored Races In The Struggle For Life", called The Descent Of Man, Darwin linked human evolution explicitly to the higher primates specifically and shockingly to hairy quadruplets which have pointed tails and long ears. Darwin with these discoveries wanted to back up his idea that Life is a competitive struggle for existence. And creatures that possess useful characteristics or that developed such characteristics by evolution are favored in the struggle. And he concluded that what goes for other animals goes for the human animal as well.

And such notions are expressed by Darwin and subsequently his supporters, who followed after him pounding these ideas into people's minds, such notions, are expressed in connotations that catch the public's imagination and then apply the philosophy (or biology/anthropology?) of evolution to everything.

This means that people who achieve in life and become superior in external things - driving luxury cars, swanking around with high tech mobile phones, living in luxury houses, are millionaires are favored by nature, they adapted in the struggle for life, they are the winners, they are the favored races. And what about the weak poor nations in this analysis? They are left for scorn - to be laughed at because they fail to adapt. It is interesting to read the subtitle of Darwin's book; The Preservation of Favored Races In The Struggle For Life. Darwin's ideas spread wildly because he also studied to be a lawyer and was effective in arguing his case for the philosophy of evolution.

Darwin went to church like all other gentlemen did. But Darwin was an agonistic, probably because he had studied to be a clergyman at Cambridge University. He saw no more higher moral or religious ends in life than chance and necessity. Meaning that everything here in our lives happens by chance and necessity, there is no superior force up there to refer to. In doing this Darwin literally cut off God in the lives and psyche of people - and allowed people to fight and kill each other in struggle for survival.
