Darwinism's voyage to China

Q: How did Darwinism influence the intellectual climate in 20th-century China?

Darwinism encouraged Chinese intellectuals to adopt a revolutionary worldview. It provided essential ideological support for the communist movement by promoting the idea that conflict is the primary driver of human society.

Q: What is the common thread among thinkers like Darwin, Huxley, and Spencer regarding the origin of life?

These thinkers fundamentally denied Allah's art of creation. They portrayed human beings as mere animals who emerged by chance, effectively stripping them of any divine responsibility or spiritual purpose.

Q: How did Darwinist ideology affect the political leadership during the rise of communism in China?

Prominent leaders like Mao Tse Tung and Chiang Kai-shek were both deeply influenced by Darwinist thought. Their shared adherence to these materialist ideologies fueled the violent conflict between communist and fascist forces in the country.

Q: Why does the denial of creation lead to social turmoil?

When a society rejects the belief in a Creator and the moral values ordained by Allah, it shifts toward a worldview based on perpetual conflict and materialism. This abandonment of divine values often leads to instability, unrest, and widespread suffering.
