Well I was reading a book by Dr. Henry Morris called "The Long War Against God". It was good read about creation vs evolution. In the book it mentioned Marx and communism. It basically stated that Marx's thinking of society was based on an evolutionary basis.

Publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species: 1859
Marx: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Evolution: Survival of the fittest.
I'm afraid Morris is equally bad at history and science.
Anyone else fascinated with Marx? I could read about this guy forever. I think his work was intended for other things besides what they are perceived to be for.
I wish I had people to talk about this with
I dont know bruh. Marx was influenced my Darwin in some way. He wanted to dedicate Das Kapital to Darwin.
Plus given the fact evolution theory was around way before Darwin wrote about it. Who knows.
Gadarene said:Well you're right in that he sure didn't intend with his work what people like Morris are able to creatively impugn to him.
It goes back, as far as I know, to Nimrod.Evolution theory was around way before Darwin, bruh.

Nimrod was unique in that he proposed the idea of chance. At the time such was unheard of. All things were then attributed to something spiritual. At the core of evolution is chance.
Chance is the exact opposite of God, even to the extent that it has no being.
I'm actually interested to see how you came up with this.
bricklayer said:It's been a while, but I do remember that Dr. Henry Morris wrote the most interesting things I read about Nimrod. His book on Genesis was the first of his I read. I'm sure he discusses it there. Dr. Norman Geisler is another good source. (I'm not synergistic or dispensational, but they are good authors I have learned much from.)
Nimrod was a very interesting person. Many of his ideas are quite main steam today. Perhaps the idea of chance is the most evil and pervasive.
