"It's possible to say that Darwin's theory includes that of Marx and Engels, because Communism is also a theory of "evolution" adapted to history and sociology."

Darwin's theory deals with the diversity of biological organisms. It has nothing to do with the fields of history or sociology. Darwin's never read Marx or Engels. The above quote is garbage.

"Darwinism proposed that all existing things consist of "matter in motion." This alleges that God neither created nor ordered matter and that therefore, all life arose by chance."

Horse manure. Evolution does not say anything about the origins of life, and says nothing about the existence or non-extence of God. Your source is a moron.

"But these claims rest on no scientific proof and have been proven false be subsequent scientific discoveries"

BS. What is this *proof* against evolution?

"But Darwin's theory harmonizes with the views of Marx and Engels, who believed that only matter existed, and that the whole of human history can be explained in material terms."

Why pick on Darwin? ALL science excludes supernatural, non-material causes and explanations. It's called methodological naturalism. It started at least as far back as Galileo and Newton.

"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes . . . will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla."
"It has often been said . . . that man can resist with impunity the greatest diversities of climate and other changes; but this is true only of the civilized races. Man in his wild condition seems to be in this respect almost as susceptible as his nearest allies, the anthropoid apes, which have never yet survived long, when removed from their native country."
