Description:

G.K. Chesterton observed in the early 20th century how Darwinism blurred the lines between science and philosophy. He warned against the “insane simplicity” of materialism, which, while logical, limits understanding to natural processes and denies the possibility of miracles. Chesterton argued that Christians, embracing both the natural and supernatural, hold a freer and more complete worldview.

He critiqued Darwinism as speculative, pointing out its lack of concrete evidence and reliance on coincidence to explain complex features in nature. Beyond science, Chesterton saw Darwinism’s moral implications as dangerous—devaluing human life and paving the way for eugenics and cruelty. His sharp insights remain strikingly relevant today, as Lita Sanders illustrates through Chesterton’s enduring critique of flawed evolutionary philosophy.
