Paper Summary:

An argumentative paper against Darwinism. The author shows how Darwinism and materialism are interconnected and how Darwinism has caused harm to the world. The author investigates why people still continue to believe in it regardless of its lack of evidence.

From the Paper:

"Darwin legitimized violence by claiming that humans are, in essence, animals struggling for life. Most people think the theory of evolution was first proposed by Charles Darwin, and rests on scientific evidence, observations and experiments. However, in the same way that Darwin was not its originator neither does the theory rest on scientific proof. The theory consists of an adaptation to nature of an ancient dogma called materialist philosophy. Although it is backed up by no scientific evidence, the theory is blindly supported in the name of materialist philosophy."
