Evolution as intellectual justification for godlessness and for disbelief in the Bible – indeed, for all kinds of foolishness – is at the heart of a culture war taking place in the modern world today.

Many well-meaning but unaware parents send their kids off for four years to imbibe hedonistic, socialistic, degenerative and anti-biblical doctrines … and pay a hefty sum for them to do so. Over and over, research has shown that the vast majority of college campuses are communities of “shared sacred values” that are culturally and politically leftist – often radically so. “Social justice” (defined as equality of outcome) and “tolerance” for all things liberal are what really matter!

How have we let these academic institutions become so taken over by the radical left? In fact, it seems there has been a determined effort to do so. 

The Marxist Antonio Gramsci wrote many years ago of a “quiet” socialist revolution – one that would transform a culture from within by changing the worldview of the academies and of each and every institution in society. He cautioned that this would be “a long march through the institutions” and specifically targeted Christianity as the greatest philosophical adversary along the way.

One of the great supports to this “long march” has been evolutionism. Indeed, Friedrich Engels, who with Karl Marx was a founder of communism, wrote of how Darwin’s theory bolstered the foundations of their materialistic philosophy. He also famously eulogized Marx by saying: “Just as Darwin discovered the law of evolution in organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of evolution in human history.”
