DARWINISM HAS EXPUNGED LOVE AND AFFECTION FROM PEOPLE'S HEARTS....

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Dem TV, October 16th, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR: The reason I am opposed to the theory of evolution is that we see this theory lies at the root of communism, fascism and World Wars I and II. It also caused the blood of 350 million people to be shed, to a million or so being crippled, to millions of children being orphaned and, worst of all, to love and affection being expunged from people’s hearts. There is explicit proof of this. When we go out, nobody looks anyone else in the face. Wherever you go in the world, everyone looks down at the ground, and nobody has any love, happiness or joy on their faces. Whereas there should be passion and love in people’s eyes. There should be love of Allah. That joy has been taken from people’s hearts. And that has therefore done great damage. Some people commit suicide and others turn to fighting. Even my dear brothers adopt such ideas as “why are we getting involved in such a climate of dispute?” or “how can a leftist talk to a rightist?” This is the disaster inflicted by Darwinism. But everyone should talk to everyone else, no matter what their ideas, for they are all brothers. That is how Allah created then, and they have freedom of thought. And we respect them because of those ideas. The damage that has been inflicted is very significant. Mao, for example, says that Darwinism and the theory of evolution lie at the root of Chinese communism. He is quite explicit. It can be found in Trotsky’s statements, and in those of Lenin, Mussolini and Hitler. They all base themselves on Darwin. In other words, it [Darwinism] inflicted the most terrible damage on the world and led to the spread of atheism. It is in those respects that I oppose Darwinism as a Muslim.
