Darwinism: A Theory to Justify the Exploitative Crimes of the Ruling Class?

Believe it or not, The Origins of Species By Means of Natural Selection or Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, by Charles Darwin was not the first time a proposal for the diversity of life included an evolutionary explanation. In fact, evolutionary concepts about life date as far back as 5,000 years ago. 

According to the 4,000 year old Babylonian text, Enuma-Elish, life first appeared spontaneously in water and then evolved  one species from one another. Many years later, the myth of evolution found fertile ground in  Ancient Greece. Some Greek philosophers, calling themselves "materialists", accepted only the existence of matter and counted matter as the original source of life. Consequently, they resorted to the myth of evolution, inherited from the Sumerians, to explain how living beings came into existence.

Much later, in 1803, Jean Baptiste Lamarck gave a detailed account of the theory of evolution. From there, in 1859, Darwin published his theory of evolution which is basically a more detailed account of the Sumerian myth. Nevertheless, his theory gained political momentum because it provided a "scientific" basis for the ruling class to this very day.

The fossil record revealed that things did not under go an evolutionary process from primitive to the complex. Even things that lived hundreds of millions of years ago possessed the same complex structure of their counterparts living today.  There was no trace of transitional forms that Darwin assumed to have existed, and were supposed to link one species to another. Biochemistry revealed that life was too complex to have emerged by chance.

According to Michael Behe, author of Darwin's Black Box:

"Highly sophisticated molecular machines control every molecular process. Thus the details of life are finely calibrated and the machinery of life enormously complex... The simplest self-sufficient cell has the capacity to produce thousands of different proteins and other molecules…synthesis, degradation, energy generation, replication, maintenance of cell architecture mobility, regulation, repair, communication…All of these functions take place in virtually every cell, and each function itself requires the interaction of numerous parts.”
[...]
A child can die because of a single defect in one of the many machines needed for taking protein to the lysosome. A single flaw in the cell’s… protein transport pathway is fatal. Unless the entire system were immediately in place, our ancestors would have died. Attempts at a gradual evolution are a recipe for extinction”.

In 1871, Darwin went on to write The Descent of Man, claiming man evolved from apes without evidence to back it up. Moreover, he claimed certain races of human beings - Caucasians - were more evolved than others, suggesting further, that the less evolved races would eventually be totally annihilated.  After all, life was based on a bloody struggle between the weak and the strong.

The Piltdown Man Fake: The Greatest Forgery of the 20th Century

In 1912, Charles Dawson discovered Eoanthropus dawsoni, the "Piltdown man" giving credence to Darwin’s theory of evolution. Of Dawson's discoveries, 38 were found to be fakes.  In 1953, a scientist named Kenneth Oakley examined the Piltdown man and discovered the jaw of an ape had been attached to a human skull.  One of his partners was none other than Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who in turn, really pushed evolution on the Catholic Church.  Teilhard would go on to work in China and take part in the Peking man discovery, a collection of would be missing links – 175 fossil fragments - that mysteriously disappeared in 1941 before anyone could fully examine them.

Darwin's theory provided the foundation for a ruthless ideology (Communism, Nazism), that humanity could be exalted through struggle and violence, to leaders and thinkers, such as Hitler, Mussolini, Mao Tse Tung, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.

Engels, after finishing Darwin's book, wrote to Marx: "Darwin, whom I am just now reading is splendid." In response, Marx replied: "This is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view."

In a nut shell, Darwin's theory lacking a scientific basis has generated nothing more than a dark legacy to humanity.
