For years, many people have scoffed at any suggestion that the evils in society could be linked with the teaching of the theory of evolution. But new research has confirmed what Bible-believers have known all along—that the rising acceptance of Darwin’s theory is related to declining morality in the community.
The research survey of 1535 people, conducted by the Australian National University, revealed that belief in evolution is associated with moral permissiveness. Darwin himself apparently feared that belief in evolution by the common man would lead to social decay. The survey showed that people who believed in evolution were more likely to be in favour of premarital sex than those who rejected Darwin’s theory. Another issue which highlighted the contrast between the effect of evolutionary ideas and that of biblical principles was that Darwinians were reported to be ‘especially tolerant’ of abortion.

In identifying the primary factors determining these differences in community attitudes, the author of the research report, Dr Jonathan Kelley, said: ‘The single most important influence after church attendance is the theory of evolution.’[196]

The Chinese, the Japanese, and the Koreans (but not the other East Asians including the Southeast Asians) have in Richard Lynn's reviews of worldwide IQ studies on average scored somewhat higher than Europeans on IQ tests. However, it is Europeans who have made most scientific discoveries and who achieved the industrial and scientific revolutions. See the book Human Accomplishment. Lynn has explained this as East Asians likely having lower average creativity than Europeans. Lynn argues that this is supported by East Asians scoring lower on tests for the trait openness to experience.[2]
