The Origins debate examined in the light of Catholic teaching and intense propaganda in favour of evolution
It is a measure of how successful evolutionary propaganda has been that some might question whether there is any need to look at the idea of Creation, since surely Evolution is accepted by everyone nowadays?
However, as this section hopes to show, in reality Evolution is opposed to authentic Catholic teaching, and in fact it is the underlying principle behind the modern world's rejection of God.
Until the advent of Darwin's "Origin of the Species," which was the main impetus behind the rise of Evolutionary ideas to respectability, the "atheistic" rejection of the idea of God was confined to a relatively small number of intellectuals and "freethinkers."
But Darwin changed all that and his approach made the promotion of a godless philosophical view of the origin of mankind and the universe possible. The century and a half since then has borne witness to the deadly effects of evolutionary thinking, which is widely proclaimed as the only scientifically plausible explanation for life, despite the fact that there is no hard evidence to support the idea of one species evolving from another, to say nothing of the complete lack of any satisfactory evolutionary theory of the actual origin of life.
There is also the factor of the incredibly evil influence of evolutionary ideas, an influence which has caused untold suffering to millions, particularly through Communism and Nazism, both of which have based themselves on Evolution. The godless ideology which afflicts the modern world, with its promotion of all form of immorality and selfishness, is also a product of evolutionary thinking.
The real reason for the success of the theory of Evolution is that it seems to do away with the need for God and thus Christian morality. That is its most important characteristic as far as its most ardent supporters are concerned, and this opinion is maintained in the face of all evidence to the contrary. Thus belief in Evolution is just that, a belief, a faith in an unproven theory, one which is being increasingly assailed by true science.
