I do think evolution is the cause, or at least a significant contributing factor to, today's rampant depression and hopelessness. If you teach people that we are here as a genetic accident, then nothing really matters. Even if we wipe out ourselves as a species, in another few billion years something else will evolve up to take our place.
When nothing matters, life is really pointless. When people stare down the pointlessness of an empty life, some of them will blink.
And when you can't take a meaningless life anymore, some figure why not go out in a blaze? I think mass shootings are going to be more popular from here on out.

I dunno how often you talk to atheists but some are perfectly happy with meaninglessness. I find this baffling but I respect it.
‘Their leader is Richard Dawkins. He seems to be very happy with the theory of evolution and meaninglessness.
Now, what I can’t tell from my discussions with them is if they’re doing this because they reject God or they’re mad at God or they had a bad personal experience with one of many religious sects around the world, or if they are perfectly happy and at peace with meaninglessnesses.
I’ve thought about lost tribes in an Amazon forest too. Or some undiscovered tribes in Africa because they’re the best case of being unaffected by the world. When interviewed about the notions of death they said that “the spirit goes in the sky“. So this means that an unaffected person who’s born and raised by the wolves in a forest, shows inclination towards spirituality and a higher power.
This tells me that atheists are not genuinely at peace but they’re rebelling against God.
Biological and geological evolutionary sciences began together through the work of bishop Nicolas Steno and later researchers who used the fossil record found in rock strata to act like pages of a book in relating the great, if incomplete, biological and geological history of the planet stretching back many millions of years -

The problem isn't evolutionary sciences, the problem is the races/racism doctrines of the 19th century Victorians who attempted to divide the human race into races/racism in a doctrine called natural selection-
" On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life" Charles Darwin, 1859
If people wish to see what a less favoured 'race' looks like, then Darwin explains it-
" Given a land originally peopled by a thousand Saxons and a thousand Celts- and in a dozen generations five-sixths of the population would be Celts, but five-sixths of the property, of the power, of the intellect, would belong to the one-sixth of Saxons that remained. In the eternal 'struggle for existence,' it would be the inferior and less Favoured Race that had prevailed- and prevailed by virtue not of its good qualities but of its faults and narrower brain. " Charles Darwin, Descent of Man, 1871
It takes a more considerate Christian to untangle natural selection from genuine evolutionary sciences which do not promote aggression or survival-of-the-fittest as the driver of life on Earth. The American variant of creationism v darwinism doesn't help as the real foundations of natural selection are found in the mid 19th century as a colonial expansion excuse.
As a Christian, I love the human race with all its different cultures and complexions, however, the idea of races/racism or natural selection still dominates the education system without proper consideration as to what it represents.
