Obligate Mutualism. Another way to falsify Darwinism while also being another way to explain why Darwinism and sytematic atrocities are often mutual!
What is Obligate Mutualism? It is a situation in which two organisms absolutely depend upon each other for life. This is a commonplace fact of life in nature, just one that Darwinists do not bring up because it tends to collapse their house of cards. As does the truth about the Law of Biogenesis (it is chemically impossible for the building blocks of life to form naturally and become anything even close to alive) or the Laws of Thermodynamics (Darwinism is okay if you see it in reverse, which is what actually happens. Mutations break things and organisms go extinct) or DNA or the operations of the Cell and really all the basic science behind organisms. The blatant intentional stupidity of Darwinists is harmful to all of mankind. The farther societies get away from God, the more they look like Iran or Nazi Germany or the Maoist China!
Societal atrocities and Darwinism are in some cases Obligate Mutualism. Like Jeffery Dahmer and the rape, murder and actual cannibalism of fellow human beings?
Not Many Wise is a blog written by Peter Reason, who tells us why he writes:
Why have I called this site: ‘Not Many Wise’?
Well, that phrase comes from some verses:
I started on my Faith Journey whilst on my sandwich year from college when Iwas first invited to a church meeting in Diss, Norfolk by an enthusiastic fellow student, and became a Christian then in 1976.
Upon returning to college and right up to the present day, I’ve not been restrained to any one denomination – believing that local Church is always important. Through career moves and life changes this has enabled me to play a part in the Assembly of God Church, Elim, various House Church Groupings, Brethren, Anglican and Baptist Churches.
I am married to Jackie and we live in Cambridgeshire in the UK.
I hope you find good, eternal things within my posts, thanks for calling by.

Here is his post about Obligate Mutualism to give you a start on the concept:
Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay Fig, comes from Australia and has an obligate mutualism with fig wasps.
This means that the figs are only pollinated by fig wasps, and fig wasps can only reproduce in fig flowers.
There were totally failed attempts at growing the plant in Hawaii and California until they introduced the correct wasps.
How can two totally different things just evolve by chance – one cannot survive without the other.
There’s not enough time for trial and error.
I would say that it is by ‘Intelligent Design’ and not chance.

Thanks, Peter. Now we give ICR a chance to go into more depth:
The ancient insect impression was discovered in the 1920s on the Isle
of Wight, which is located in the English Channel, but it has only
recently been studied in detail. Initially misidentified as an ant, it
was the subject of a study published in Biology Letters
conducted by University of Leeds researcher Steve Compton, whose "main
study system over the years has been fig trees and their associated
animals, particularly the fig wasps that pollinate them."1 He gave his assessment of the newly identified wasp fossil in a university report:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fossil record reflects the original diversity of life, not an evolving tree of increasing complexity. There are many examples of "living fossils," where the species is alive today and found deep in the fossil record as well.
According to evolution models for the fossil record, there are three predictions:
1. wholesale change of organisms through time
2. primitive organisms gave rise to complex organisms
3. gradual derivation of new organisms produced transitional forms.
Read the rest at the underlined link, above.

For those of you who want to know truth, you could explore all these links and learn a great deal! ICR was the first large and successful YEC organization of scientists and professional laymen. There are such organizations all over the world now, and plenty of Intelligent Design organizations as well.
We are at one of those science/worldview crossroads similar to that time when the Big Dogs In Charge wanted a Geocentric Solar System but real scientists like Copernicus believed that they could prove otherwise and were willing to risk their careers and perhaps even their lives to promote a Heliocentric Solar System. Today mainstream science, academia and news and entertainment media as well as entire governments are sold out to Darwinism and Climate Alarmism in direct opposition to the raw evidence to the contrary. How long with popular fallacies hold out against truth? Another 20 years maybe? It is hard to imagine, in this information age, that younger brighter scientists coming into the field won't suddenly stop and say, "Hey, all this Darwinist BS is just....BS!!"
I patiently aid the process in my own small way. There are a few worldviews that are remarkably dangerous and harmful to mankind. Malthusian thought, Eugenics, Socialism, Communism and Islamic Jihadism are all harmful to humanity. But Darwinism may be the worst of all, as it underlies or goes hand-in-hand with most of them. Certainly you could make a case that Eugenics and Darwinism are examples of obligate mutualism and that the German Nazi vision required Darwinism as an essential element.
Anyhow, a very good article on the very BAD EFFECTS OF DARWINISM from creation.com would be appropriate now:
According to evolutionist Daniel Dennett, Darwinism is the universal acid that affects everything.1
Dennis Sewell does an excellent job documenting this claim. Sewell, a journalist and broadcaster, has assembled a well-written review of the political uses and abuses of Darwinism. He has documented how often—and how easily—Darwinism has been harnessed for sinister political ends by a wide assortment of persons and movements laboring under a variety of political persuasions from radical right to extreme left. The history of Darwinism’s critical role in eugenics and Nazism is told in an engaging way that reads like a novel. He shows that, although racism existed before Darwin, Darwinism gave the human inferior-superior racial hierarchy theory the respectability and authority of science, increasing the problem of racism by an order of magnitude.

Why have I called this site: ‘Not Many Wise’?
Well, that phrase comes from some verses:
“… think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.I can certainly relate to God choosing me – the foolish and weak person that I am. With God’s help may He fulfil the rest of the verse in all of us!
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no-one may boast before him.”

Thanks, Peter. Now we give ICR a chance to go into more depth:
by Brian Thomas
The life cycles of fig
trees and fig wasps are so closely intertwined, they look like they were
made for each other. If this is true, then their fossils would be quite
similar to modern forms, showing no history of imagined evolutionary
past. And recent research on a fig wasp fossil shows exactly that.

You do realize that there are about ten organisms that live in you or on you for every cell you have in your body? If they all died you would die shortly thereafter. There are microorganisms that depend upon you for life and vice-versa. You think you digest food all by yourself?
Let's go ahead and let ICR expand on the concept of stasis in the world of organisms:

Before you close your eyes and minds to the truth, consider the beginning of the 20th Century in the USA, where Eugenicists had people sterilized (mostly poor and "colored" folks) and President Woodrow Wilson had the military segregated and promoted "Jim Crow Laws" in the South. While Abraham Lincoln had freed the slaves, Darwin began putting them back "in their place" in American society, particularly in the South. Meanwhile Wilson sought to begin forming a one world government system (The League of Nations) and many Eastern Elitists began to applaud the work of a German leader named Adolf Hitler including the Rockefellers in particular but many others. Eugenics was dealt a fearsome blow by the revelations of the Holocaust at the end of World War II and many whisperings that had been going on about what Germany was doing became shouts.
Margaret Sanger and her organization had to go underground and convert themselves into Planned Parenthood and have since promoted Eugenics on the sly by positioning most abortion clinics near poor and minority neighborhoods. But the goal remains the same - weed out the poor and "less-evolved" so that more superior races can dominate. How anti-God this entire concept is! How evil and miserable a way of thinking AND YET it cannot be separated from Darwinism because Darwinism was joined at the hip to racism from the very beginning.
Everyone of every race on Earth should be insulted by the very existence of Darwinism. We were made by God in His image, not descended from primates! It is a nasty, ugly, mean, grotesque worldview of the filthiest possible mindset. You cannot clean it off with time and marketing. What about the aborigines caught, killed, skinned and put on display in museums? It was Darwinism that encouraged such acts and Darwinism lived out in real life was Jeff Dahmer's excuse for his macabre habit of tormenting and killing and preserving and...well, most folks know what he did. How many realize he was simply living out the Darwinist mantra?
Here is some evidence concerning Dahmer's adherence to Darwinism, notice that YouTube has censored the content?
What, in the Darwinist morality, is the difference between Dahmer raping and killing and eating one of his victims and a leopard chasing down, playing with, killing and eating a young baboon? If we all came from nothing for no reason and will wind up just dying and being gone, who determines right and wrong? In my last post I presented Determinism as a bankrupt and disastrous worldview and it just so happens that it is the default worldview of Darwinism. No matter how many millions of dollars you give to charity, no matter how many people you give jobs with your company, there is indeed a real morality and God has declared it in the Bible. All who teach others to cast aside God have a part in every atrocity they commit! You are part of the problem OR you are part of the solution. There is no middle ground.
When someone murders another human with a knife or axe, blood is spattered everywhere. The murderer will probably try to wash away the bloodstains. But forensic investigation can use special lighting and/or reagents to detect bloodstains that murderers have tried in vain to hide. I will put an ad for a very efficient reagent below my final remarks. The bottom line is that Darwinism has helped butcher millions upon millions of people and degraded "races" other than white as inferior or "less evolved" when in fact all people are human and the skin color is a matter of the way in which melanin is displayed in our skin. Read and learn a simple set of articles here. Actually some researchers believe it is the way melanin is displayed rather than the amount, but that is not germane to the issue. Adam and Eve were given a rich set of genetic information, with which all skin and eye and hair colors could be produced. That is truth. Darwinism? Wicked and harmful lies!
Here Dahmer puts in all into perspective, below. Dahmer believed in Christ after he was caught, sentenced and incarcerated and then believed he should have been put to death by the State. It may be that since the State would not kill him and he believed that his crimes deserved death that he was not afraid that a fellow inmate might kill him and possibly welcomed the event as something he would have done himself if not for God. Yes, someone as terrible as Dahmer can become a Christian and someone seemingly as wonderful as your next-door neighbor could be heading straight to Hell. Because we all sin and we all are destined for Hell if we do not repent. So Darwinism is perhaps the most harmful influence in modern society today. Worse than Neo-Nazis, worse than Black Muslims, worse than Islamo-terrorists, worse than the self-named Westboro Baptists, worse then the Ku Klux Klan. At least the groups of people who promote hatred and death openly are easily indentifiable. Darwinism sneaks up on you as science and sends you to Hell with eyes wide open.
"Some people wonder how baptism might have benefited Jeff in terms of his stature with the prison system. The answer is that it had absolutely no effect on his life sentences. He still had 15 life sentences to serve in Wisconsin and one in Ohio, if he was ever released from the Wisconsin prison. But being released never would have happened. He had accepted the fact that he would die in prison.
Jeff had nothing to gain in this life by being baptized; he had everything to gain in the next life. He was baptized for the same reason anyone else is baptized. In the light of the Bible, he surveyed his life and concluded that he needed to be saved."
