>>2.Darwin’s theory promoted the idea that man is “a beast with animal lusts and no morality”, and this has been gleefully accepted by much of modern society.

But Darwin himself made no such assertion.

>>For the answer, we quote the words of another 19th century atheist philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, who >>pronounced God to be “dead”, and gave as his reason, “We deny God; in denying God, we deny accountability.” ...

Nietzsche didn’t “pronounce” God dead. Instead, he made the (correct) case that the educated classes of his day had rejected religious explanations and sought refuge in scientism...thus, the madman said, “God is dead, and we have killed Him.”
