How Darwinism corrodes morality: Darwinism, immorality, abortion and the sexual revolution

This book looks at how Darwinism has adversely affected morality in Western culture, not only sexual morals, but also the mistreatment of minority races, the killing of the sick and diseased and the rise of the abortion movement. Key figures of the twentieth century are considered: Havelock Ellis, Margaret Sanger, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, Benjamin Spock, Karl Pearson, Anders Behring Breivik and others. The ideological impact of Darwinism on such issues as eugenics, abortion, racism, war and social policy since Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species was first published in 1859 is profound. Overturning the predominately Judeo-Christian worldview of previous centuries, Darwinism has infiltrated every area of science, philosophy, art, literature, business, anthropology, social policy, governance and medicine. We need to understand the foundational problem in order to propose ways that societal reforms can be addressed in our day–this book will help us do just that.

‘The book has 17 chapters, 294 pages of text, hundreds of references conveniently footnoted on the applicable pages, an 18-page bibliography, but no index. Readers will learn shocking things about the beliefs and actions of well-known figures, such as Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood), Alfred Kinsey, Nietzsche, Freud and Hitler, and be introduced to lesser-known but very influential leaders like Karl Pearson, Havelock Ellis and Chet Raymo. Of special note are the Darwinian beliefs that influenced Charles Manson and Anders Brevik (the Darwin-lover who murdered 77 young people in Norway in 2011). Bergman quotes their own writings so readers can see for themselves what they believed. Chapter 11, "Preaching Darwinism: A history of church support for eugenics" is particularly disgusting. Bergman details how many so-called Christian leaders, hoodwinked by Darwin's pseudo-scientific "law" of survival of the fittest, joined the bandwagon of "racial purity" instead of preaching God's clear principles of helping the poor and needy. And his account of Japanese sadism in during World War II will turn your stomach. I wish this book were required reading for high school or college students, to see the havoc that Darwin's Century wrought before becoming tempted to follow Darwinism. And I wish pastors would read and know this history to warn their flocks that ideas have consequences. Dr Bergman's other book The Darwin Effect is a good companion to this one; the contents supplement this book without overlap.’ Dave C
