Suppose the whole world stopped believing that God had any sort of plan for us? That’s a question Charles Darwin is said to address in the new movie, Creation, a loving and fictionalized treatment of Darwin’s life, released in Britain in September.

 

Well, the whole world did not stop believing in God after Darwin, but many did. Tom DeRosa is one who rejected God after discovering Darwin as a college freshman. He spent about ten years teaching evolution to students in public school, but an encounter with Christ and Scripture changed everything.

 

Now a firm believer in Genesis, DeRosa has written Evolution’s Fatal Fruit, a troubling history of the grim consequences of Darwin’s theory. DeRosa charts the course taken by evolution first to eugenics, which became popular in the U.S. in the early twentieth century, and then to the concentration camps of the Nazis, where Hitler tried to speed up evolution by eliminating so-called inferior races.

 

DeRosa shows that the question posed by Darwin in the movie Creation, about what happens when people stop believing in the God of Genesis, is answered by Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, Ravensbruck, and Treblinka.
