Modern society is awash with idolatry and false religions designed to lead the nation astray from its Christian foundation. Many of these false faiths are deceptive because they are not openly sold as religion, yet they have all the hallmarks of it.
Of the many corrosive beliefs that have been propagated in Western society, one of the contenders for most heinous, as measured by the degree to which it has caused the decline of our civilization, is the “Theory of Evolution.”
It is more apt to call it “Darwinism,” which, like Marxism, is an idolatrous false religion whose aim is to destroy and replace Christianity. If we wish to restore Christendom and Western civilization to the grandeur they once held, it is imperative that we cease promoting Darwinism, especially to impressionable young people.
One of the most abominable and astute things the Left achieved was to introduce Darwinism in the schools, where it is taught as fact. This pernicious fable of evolution has been greatly responsible for pulling people away from religious faith.
The consequences have been far-reaching. The whole of Western civilization has been built on a certain concept of man — the idea that, while man is fallen and sins, he is nevertheless made in God’s image and as such has a unique destiny, purpose, and stature that sets him infinitely apart from any other creature. Man alone, among all beasts, enjoys the privilege of being able to be a joint heir with Christ in God’s kingdom through the saving power of Jesus.
Thus, while man is capable of malice and evil, he is also capable of good and nobility.
I previously wrote that a nation’s history and founding myths play a pivotal role in shaping individual and national identities, and that this is why the Left has long considered historical revisionism to be one of the chief fronts in the culture war.
If our understanding of where our nation came from has such a deep influence on our psyche, it isn’t hard to imagine how much greater are the ramifications of our beliefs regarding our origins as a species.
By boiling man down to nothing more than another animal, to the cousin of apes, Darwinism degrades the human soul, making the adherent of this faith believe that there is nothing special or unique about humanity. It cheapens human life, minimizes our accomplishments, and limits our capacity for greatness.
The influence of Darwinism can be seen in many of the Left’s agenda items. Take abortion, for example. According to Darwinist logic, of course abortion is acceptable, since we’re all just animals and euthanasia is a perfectly legitimate response to the presence of inconvenient humans.
Marxism and tyrannical government are also justified by Darwinism, for if we were not created by God, we have no inherent natural rights and there is no objective good or evil — to believe that there is becomes nothing more than the latest social and evolutionary development, as concepts of good and evil might change tomorrow as we evolve again.
Even the transhumanist movement has its basis in Darwinism. If there is no such thing as true humanity or a fixed human nature created by God, then what’s wrong with manipulating our humanity through hybrids, cyborgs, and other aberrations?
The Aristotelian philosopher Mortimer Adler, in his book What Man Has Made of Man, called the theory of evolution “myth” and “wild speculation.”
The Origin of Species is full of guesses which are clearly unsupported by the evidence. (To the extent that The Origin of Species contains scientifically established facts, these facts are not organized into any coherent system.) Furthermore, these guesses, which constitute the theory of evolution, are not in the field of scientific knowledge anyway. They are historical. This conjectural history, begun by Darwin, was even more fancifully elaborated by the 19th century evolutionary “philosophers.”
… “evolution” is not a scientific fact, but at best a probable history, a history for which the evidence is insufficient and conflicting … [and … the] relevant facts are facts in embryology, genetics, palaeontology, comparative anatomy. These facts establish only one historical probability: that types of animals which once existed no longer exist, and that types of animals now existing at one time did not exist. They do not establish the elaborate story in which is the myth of evolution; nor do they establish any of the aetiological guesses about the way in which species originated or became extinct, such as natural selection, adaptation to environment, struggle for existence, transmission of acquired characteristics, etc.
Furthermore, Darwinism, despite what leftists say, is nowhere near the consensus in the scientific community. Many scientists have come out with dissenting research and scholarship. The problem is they are usually censored by the establishment.
The fable of evolution must be rooted out by a renewed era of scholasticism centered on the Bible and classical philosophy. Parents must get their children out of government schools before they are further corrupted by anti-Christian pseudo-religions masquerading as science.
