• The "Evolution" as Atheist Coup

  This theory held that Darwin and his allies were not simply proposing a scientific theory of natural history, but participating in a larger project to dethrone God, destroy religious belief, and make populations easier to govern without sacred authority. In stronger versions, evolution becomes a deliberate political weapon disguised as science. The documented record clearly shows that many religious critics did frame Darwinism as a direct assault on Christian belief and moral order. It also shows that Darwin himself did not fit the role of a straightforward atheist conspirator. What remains unsupported is the claim that he acted as a secret agent of an organized anti-God political cabal.
