A single man stands behind the greatest deception in history.
Charles Darwin's ideas still penetrate every aspect of our culture, including science, religion, and education. And while much has been made of his contribution to the evolutionary hypothesis, little has been publicized about the dark side of the man himself and how this may have impacted the quality and legitimacy of his research.
This daring and compelling book takes its readers behind the popular fa?ade of a man revered worldwide as a scientific pioneer, and unveils what kind of person Darwin really was. The book reveals disturbing facts that will help you
- Perceive Darwin firsthand through the eyes of family and friends, and his own correspondence
- Discern this darkly troubled man, struggling with physical and mental health issues
- Uncover his views on eugenics and racism, and his belief that women were less evolved than men
Thoroughly documented, this book reveals Darwin's less-than-above board methods of attempting to prove his so-called scientific beliefs, and his plot to "murder God" by challenging the then-dominant biblical worldview.
The Dark Side of Charles Darwin edition by Jerry Bergman Religion Spirituality eBooks
The author makes a well-documented presentation of the too often ignored problems in connection with the personal history of Charles Darwin and Darwin's theory of evolution. While I am somewhat leery of unsubstantiated and baseless arguments in connection with this subject, Bergman goes to great lengths to show that his facts are well-documented and widely acknowledged.Product details

The Dark Side of Darwin, by Dr. Jerry Bergman
270 pages, Master Books, Green Forest, AR 2011, $13.99 US
Fabulous! Timely! The Dark Side of Darwin was very difficult to put down. It is very readable. The ideas were blended very smoothly.
The cover is very attractive, compelling even, but the content is more so. It is a much-needed one-stop reference.
It's critical to analyze Darwinian Evolution's messenger closely. Evolutionists have typically endowed Darwin with god-like status ... until now.
Evolutionists are quoted extensively throughout. Dissidents of Darwinism were suppressed as early as the late 1800's. This is not science. Real science involves open inquiry. The real battle all along has been theism vs. atheism.
The dark side of Charles Darwin (hereafter referred as Darwin) has rarely been covered in detail anywhere, if at all. Here is a reference book for all. Darwin had major doubts about his own theory, expressed to friends and in The Origin of Species. Natural selection was thought insufficient, as a mechanism, by fellow evolutionists.
Theology and science used to be coworkers, but Darwin helped science erase any purpose or design in nature. Charles Darwin built on Lyell, Hutton, Lamarck, his Grandfather Erasmus, and others' work. Evolution and the Bible (Creation) are diametrically opposed.
Bergman's book has 4 sections First, and chiefly, Part 1 Darwin and Christianity How Darwin Overthrew Creationism. My favorite was Chap. 2 Why Darwinism Demands Atheism. Darwin seemed to allow purpose and a Creator as mere concessions. Darwinism is atheism's religion, A "... clear unbridgeable contradiction exists between Darwinism and theism." (Chap. 2) Chap. 3 persuades that Darwin's life experiences caused him to become agnostic. His father, brother Erasmus, and grandfather Erasmus were likely agnostics. Chap. 4 argues Darwinism is really purposelessness, except for its struggle for life.
Part 2 addresses Darwin's Mental Health. I felt a deep sympathy for all the ailments Darwin suffered from. Part 3 is on Darwin and His Theory. Plagiarism is addressed, Darwin's Scholarship, and Pangenesis. Darwin's nephew, John Galton, addressed Darwin's Panspermia Hypothesis, in an address to the Royal Society. Most surprising is that Christopher Hitchens asserts Darwin had a "...doctrine of the origin of species..." Darwin did not (book titles don't count). Darwin corresponded voraciously, often convincing or hashing out his theories.
Part 4 addresses Racism, Eugenics, Sexism, and Natural Selection (Cannot Explain Macroevolution). Chap. 11 answers the question "Was Darwin a Racist?" Survival of the fittest, or Natural Selection, is a circular argument. Pre-Darwinian evolution seems to have fueled pro-slavery propaganda, and Darwinism increased it greatly. Darwin also wrote disparagingly of woman's intellectual capacity (Chap. 13). Darwin inspired Eugenics (Chap. 12), a clear connection between he and nephew Francis Galton, the father of Eugenics.
Evolutionist Robert G. Ingersoll's conceded that Darwinism's goal was to remove "in every thinking mind the last vestige of orthodox Christianity."
This book was well organized, and written very clearly, for the widest possible audience, a sure mark of a truly great writer. It is the product of many years of painstaking research. We are in Dr Bergman's debt.
The Dark Side of Darwin has many footnotes, located at the end of each chapter. There is no index.
It belongs in all libraries of a great many universities, schools, churches, and apologists.

Thorough and informative. Proof that Darwin's statements would have been classified as lies by a modern lie detector.
Great book!! And exhaustive work done by Bergman.
Darwin was a plagiarist, relied on others to do the actual work, suffered from dozens of psychosomatic diseases, had phobias, was psychotic, racist, insisted women were not as evolved as men, called his wife mammy, failed medical school, dropped out of theology school, kept rewriting his life story, performed experiments by thinking about them, lied a lot, tried to kill God, was inducted into a witch doctor cult in South America and wrote lots of theories that were flat out wrong. How could he not be an idol of modern science?
Everyone should be required to read this book!
It’s a shame that this book is so poorly written. Judging by the number of footnotes, Bergman did a lot of research and came up with some interesting findings. However, the book is repetitive and organized strangely.
Here is an example of a mess of a sentence. “Provine answered the reason is due to wishful thinking, religious training, and intellectual dishonesty are all important factors.”
Writing about Darwin’s digestive ailments, Bergman writes, “He vomited so often that he actually had a porcelain vomitatorium installed in his study behind a curtain.” There is no such word as “vomitatorium” in English. “Vomitorium” is a word, but it doesn’t mean a container in which to vomit.
A funny example of the poor proofreading is, “to those who believe in immorality of the human soul, the destruction of our world will not appear so dreadful.”
In one place, Bergman writes, “Although devoted to his wife and daughters, he treated them like children.” This seems to contradict what he writes in another place. “As [sic] analysis of Darwin’s letters reveal [sic] that Darwin’s wife, Emma, was ‘always the mother, never the child, Darwin always the child, never the father.’”
Anyway, Darwin was a bit weird. He not only enjoyed shooting animals, but also liked to kill them by throwing rocks at them. I think hunting is okay if you eat what you kill, but Darwin went way beyond that in the quantities of animals he killed. Bergman speculates that he thought he was speeding up evolution by eliminating the less fit animals that were too slow or stupid to get away from him.
Darwin thought that white Europeans were the most highly evolved, and that some of the more “primitive” races would become extinct. He also thought that women were less evolved than men. He never said he thought women would become extinct, but that would be an interesting story line for a science fiction movie.
Personal foibles aside, the real dirt on Darwin, according to Bergman, is that he wasn’t all that good a scientist. Other people had come up with the theory of evolution before he did. He used their ideas in his writings without giving them credit. Bergman claims Darwin was careless in his collection of specimens and documentation of his work, for example, sometimes failing to write down which island his specimens came from.
Darwin had a theory, called pangenesis, of how heredity works. He thought that the somatic cells, in response to the environment, produced little particles that he called gemmules. The gemmules migrated to the reproductive organs to pass on the traits to the offspring. This is similar to Lamarck’s idea of hereditability of acquired characteristics. When Darwin's cousin Francis Galton attempted to verify pangenesis by doing some well designed experiments with rabbits, the results were negative. Darwin refused to accept that pangenesis had been proven false, and he was not happy with Galton.
Gregor Mendel did experiments between 1856 and 1863 with 29,000 pea plants. He came up with the correct explanation of how some inherited traits are dominant and some recessive. He published his seminal paper in 1866. The science of genetics is based on the work of Mendel, not Darwin, who was totally on the wrong track. Darwin evidently never read what Mendel published and never understood the basic principles of genetics.
Dr. Marc Kirchner, member of the National Academy of Science and Harvard Medical School, says, "In fact, over the last 100 years, almost all of biology has proceeded independent of evolution, except evolutionary biology itself. Molecular biology, biochemistry, and physiology have not taken evolution into account at all."
Darwinism has given us some interesting speculations about fossils, but nothing that really improves our lives. Some praise the theory of evolution for freeing us from the constraints of religion, but ancient writings show that there were atheists thousands of years before Darwin. Nothing against pure science, but I can’t think of a single useful scientific discovery that depends on the theory of evolution. If there were no theory of evolution, we would still have analgesics, anesthesia, antibiotics, antidepressants, antiseptics, birth control, chemotherapy, dentistry, eyeglasses, genetics, hearing aids, insulin, pacemakers, surgery, vaccinations, vitamin pills, and X-rays. If anyone knows of any practical benefit to humanity that we would not have without the theory of evolution, please enlighten me.
The author makes a well-documented presentation of the too often ignored problems in connection with the personal history of Charles Darwin and Darwin's theory of evolution. While I am somewhat leery of unsubstantiated and baseless arguments in connection with this subject, Bergman goes to great lengths to show that his facts are well-documented and widely acknowledged.
