"ToE (as a theory of creation) ie Darwinism, is directly linked to Dialectic Materialism (or Scientific Socialism) which is the core of Communism. The link is an undeniable historic fact."

Horse manure. Provide some evidence for this outrageous statement.

b. Dialectic Materialism is based in Darwinism?

I'm actually baffled that this would even be a point of contention. This is not to say Darwin was a communists, or a Nazi either, (he's tied to them through the Eugenics movement). I have no idea if he would have approved of these associations or not. However, Darwin is the basis of Dialectic Materialsim

"The impact of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was undoubtedly revolutionary. Marx's response to the appearance of The Origin of Species in 1859 is well known. In a letter to Ferdinand Lassalle he wrote:


Darwin's book is very important and serves me as a natural-scientific basis for the class struggle in history... Despite all deficiencies, not only is the death-blow dealt for the first time here to 'teleology' in the natural sciences, but its rational basis is empirically explained.2 "
