Q:
If evolution is ‘survival of the fittest,’ why would
evolutionists even bother to care for others?
| Quotable
quote: 'Darwinism
can be used to back up two mad moralities, but it cannot
be used to back up a single sane one. The kinship and competition
of all living creatures can be used as a reason for being
insanely cruel or insanely sentimental; but not for a healthy
love of animals ... That you and a tiger are one may be
a reason for being tender to a tiger. Or it may be a reason
for being cruel as the tiger. It is one way to train the
tiger to imitate you, it is a shorter way to imitate the
tiger. But in neither case does evolution tell you how to
treat a tiger reasonably, that is, to admire his stripes
while avoiding his claws.
‘If you want
to treat a tiger reasonably, you must go back to the garden
of Eden. For the obstinate reminder continues to recur:
only the supernaturalist has taken a sane view of Nature.'
– Chesterton,
G.K., Orthodoxy, John Lane, London, pp. 204–205,
1927.

A: If we’re
just a part of this struggle for survival—animals ripping
each other apart—and as the poet said, ‘nature red (with
blood) in tooth and in claw,’ then why would we care for others—particularly
the old and sick?
It’s interesting to note that it was really the Christians
who started our modern hospitals, orphanages and schools, to care
for others. That’s because our God is a God who loves and
cares.
Recently, a doctor from Europe, which is just saturated in evolutionary
humanism, related what happened when he took his father to the hospital.
The doctors prescribed morphine. But when this man looked at the
prescription, he realized, as a doctor himself, that it was a lethal
dose! He explained to us that many old people don’t want to
go to the hospital in these places any more because they’re
worried they’ll receive a lethal injection!
This will start to happen in other countries if people don’t
return to God’s Word, beginning with Genesis.
