existence of objective, transcendent truth. "But Darwin’s role was to dignify these ideas with ‘scientific’
backing and to make them accessible to the average man in terms he could understand," observed Jane
H. Ingraham. "His shattering ‘explanation’ of the evolution of man from the lower animals through
means excluding the supernatural delivered the coup de grace to man’s idea of himself as a created
being in a world of fixed truth. Confronted with the ‘scientific proof’ of his own animal origin and
nature, Western man, set free at last from God, began the long trek through scientific rationalism,
environmental determinism, cultural conditioning, perfectibility of human nature, behaviorism, and
secular humanism to today’s inverted morality and totalitarian man."6 The rejection of Divine revelation
and the sovereignty of God has resulted in the enthronement of man’s "reason" as the ultimate source of
truth and the apotheosis of the State as the supreme authority.
More recently, we have seen defections from the cult of science to the cult of nature. But, as was
discussed in earlier chapters, this development has involved merely switching from one pagan "church"
to another, while maintaining the same faith in the god of the State.
More Deadly Than War
The fruits of this "faith" have been horrific as totalitarianism (fascism, nazism, communism, socialism,
etc.) and its various wars and revolutions have wrought death, suffering, and destruction on a scale
undreamt of before. There are few who will argue the point that war is hell, and that a nation should go
to great lengths to avoid it. But is war the ultimate evil Must we be willing to accept anything — even
tyranny and slavery — in order to avoid war Before answering, the peace-at-any-price advocates
would do well to consider the sobering research compiled by Professor R. J. Rummel about the human
cost of 20th century totalitarianism. The results of Dr. Rummel’s exhaustive investigation, published
under the title Lethal Politics: Soviet Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1917, can be ignored only at the
peril of every living being on this planet. The "shocking" (his own word) conclusion of the professor’s
meticulous research is mind-numbing. Rummel found that
... independent of war and other kinds of conflict — governments probably have murdered
119,400,000 people — Marxist governments about 95,200,000 of them. By comparison, the
battle-killed in all foreign and domestic wars in this century total 35,700,000.
These monstrous statistics sharply reoriented my research. For more than thirty years as a
political scientist and peace researcher, I had focused my research on the causes and
conditions of war, conflict, and peace. I had believed that war was the greatest killer and
that nuclear war would be a global holocaust. Now I have found that the total killed by
government in cold blood was almost four times that of war. It was as though a nuclear war
had already occurred.7 [Emphasis in original]
The "Cold War" body count alone is at least 22.5 million. That’s the number of human beings murdered
by the Soviet Communists from the end of World War II until 1987. To describe this phenomenon of
mass homicide, Dr. Rummel, a professor of political science at the University of Hawaii, coined the
word "democide," which he defined as "a government’s concentrated, systematic, and serial murder of a
large part of its population."8
For Soviet democide alone, Rummel arrived at "the most probable estimate of 61,911,000 murdered."
This, he pointed out, "is more than four times the battle dead (15,000,000) for all nations in the Second
World War. Indeed, it exceeds the total deaths (35,654,000) from all this century’s international, civil,
guerrilla, and liberation wars, including the Russian Civil War itself."9 (Emphasis in original)
