Renowned biologist Dr. Matthew Cserhati was recently invited to give a community lecture on the impact of “intelligent design” on culture, analyzing the penetration of evolutionary theory, atheism, and the roots of leftist ideology.
Cserhati obtained a Master’s degree in Biology from the University of Budapest in Hungary, as well as a Ph.D. in Biology and a Bachelor’s degree in software development from the prestigious University of Szeged. He is also certified in five languages.
Despite being a Christian since high school, Cserhati faced a dilemma in reconciling the Book of Genesis with his studies in evolutionary theory during his university years, gradually realizing the conflict between the two.
Several societal issues have sparked Cserhati’s contemplation. During a recent speech at the Fountain Valley community hosted by the Orange County Eagle Forum, he questioned why outspoken socialists like Zohran Kwame Mamdani could be elected as the mayor of New York. He also delved into topics such as Bernie Sanders’s statements on the U.S. being akin to a socialist country, the confusion among many young people regarding their genders, and the influx of illegal immigrants across the U.S. border.
In Cserhati’s view, these ideologies stem from humanism, which rejects the concept of God and asserts human authority over nature and destiny, shaping the past, present, and future.
He emphasized that these ideologies have seeped into society over decades, leading to the emergence of socialism, wokeism, progressivism, liberalism, and transgenderism.
Cserhati presented examples to illustrate the pervasive influence of Marxist-based ideologies, such as socialism in countries like China, where the regime dictates every aspect of people’s lives in place of a divine entity.
The idea of open borders in the U.S. stems from the belief in a global community and the rejection of national borders for the sake of unity, allowing illegal immigration to occur.
Transhumanists advocate for human control over their own evolution through technological advancements, envisioning a future where individuals can design themselves as they desire.
Regarding abortion, proponents argue that fetuses go through fish-like stages in the womb, using such arguments to assuage the consciences of young women who opt for abortion. Cserhati believes that both abortion and euthanasia originate from the belief that individuals have the right to determine their life and death.
He further asserted that mainstream society’s dismissal of traditional gender identities, advocating for a multitude of genders, is a product of the humanist philosophy.
Cserhati linked biological evolution to humanism, highlighting its relationship with Marxism. He criticized Darwin’s evolutionary theory as atheistic and condemned how it shapes societal and cultural hierarchies as oppressors and oppressed, as espoused by Marx.
Based on Marxist principles, communist movements globally have led to millions of unnatural deaths. Cserhati shared a personal anecdote about his grandfather’s persecution and death in Hungary under a totalitarian regime for giving a linguistic lecture in Western countries.
He pointed out how Marxism’s influence manifests in various forms worldwide, contributing to contemporary societal disarray, with leftist agendas focusing on issues of gender equality, trans rights, and immigration rights, while perpetuating classifications to secure votes and consolidate power.
Cserhati stressed the United States’ historical foundation on Christian principles but acknowledged a shift in cultural beliefs and perceptions over time due to challenges posed by evolutionary theory.
Critics argue that challenging evolution is an attack on science, citing its widespread acceptance. However, Cserhati, with his Ph.D. in Biology, refuted evolutionary theory as a proven fact.
He debunked the misconception of 99% genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees, highlighting fundamental differences in DNA sequences to illustrate that humans and chimpanzees differ significantly.
In a comparative study conducted by Cserhati’s research group at a university in Nebraska, they found a 98% genetic similarity between Neanderthals and modern humans, establishing them as the same species.
Recent advancements in DNA testing by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Germany revealed vital genetic information about prehistoric Neanderthals, shedding light on their near-extinction events and population recoveries before their eventual disappearance approximately 40,000 years ago.
Cserhati concluded by underscoring the importance of critical thinking and scientific scrutiny in challenging prevalent ideologies shaping contemporary culture, urging for a reevaluation of established beliefs in light of empirical evidence and rational discourse.
