Why our political leaders preach Darwinism

[suchandra]

Charles Darwin surely became the most important figurehead of modern governments/politicians because that the universe is a random, directionless process, that human existence has no point or purpose, that free will and the sanctity of the self are ultimately illusions, perfectly fits into present rascal governments whose only goal is to exploit the citizens. The problem is that people have become so much foolish that they accept more and more to be treated by their leaders that way: "What's so sacrosanct about existing human dispositions and capacities, since they were all produced by such a purposeless process?"

That's a fascinating article, Suchandra Prabhu.

 

I have long lamented the way Darwin's thought has been misappropriated (from the scientific standpoint) to justify a position of social mercilessness (Social Darwinism).

 

Simply put, Darwin observes that "random" mutations happen in nature, and that, while most of those mutations are not viable and may lead to the mutant's death, those mutations which confer upon the mutant a competitive edge will tend to survive and be propagated.

 

Reasonable enough from the scientific perspective, and, if we see the Lord as the cause of all causes (i.e., the cause of all "random" mutations), it is reasonable from the theological perspective.

 

What the theory *fails* to consider are the equally observable qualities of: love, affection, mercy, compassion, cooperation, etc.

 

So, yes, it is despicable that a scientific theory has been embraced as an almost religious doctrine of "sink or swim".

 

As to whether Darwin ever intended his thought to be so used, this passage from the linked article is revealing:

 

 

As anti-Darwinians like to do, West has combed the vast corpus of Darwin's writings to find the creepiest possible examples of the great man's cold-bloodedness. Darwin himself apparently didn't believe that scientific questions of natural selection and political questions of human social arrangements were wholly unrelated. In pointing out how vaccinations had saved thousands of otherwise infirm people from death, he wrote:

 

No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.

If this is the worst of the worst of Darwin's thought--to observe (without explicit judgement) that humans are one of the few animals which "allow" unfit members of the species to breed--than I'd say the blame lain at his feet is largely undeserved.

Well, Darwin is of course being used as sacrificial lamb - his evolution theory perfectly serves the present global players strategy of simply going to the level to exploit and cheat humanity and mother earth left and right and act the fool by pointing to "approved" Darwinism when some little Vaishnava mentions, "all the living entities are Krishna's eternal parts and have to be treated with great care".

Presently, all over Europe they spent millions to print it in all the school books: Approved: Darwinism is scientific.

Additionally, utmost convenient, the global elite doesnt have to reveal their own "secret religion" of considering 99.9999% of human beings as: "Coming from three satanic spheres - whereas our souls stem from pure holiness. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. We dont sanction or allow mixed marriages among our people."

Indeed, if Charles Darwin would have known that his theory would be used for this kind of demoniac strategy of seducing innocent people into sinful living and going to hell he surely would have reconsidered.
