what the leading Darwinists really believe about the implications of Darwinism
for religion. Before this education went very far, the authorities would have a mutiny
on their hands. The Darwinists cannot change their tactics because any true education in
evolution would cast the clear light of analysis on assumptions that cannot survive it. 150
By any realistic definition naturalism is a religion, and an extremely dogmatic one.
It rests on a basic conviction about ultimate reality that is held by a kind of faith, and it
incorporates its own definitions of "knowledge" and "reason." It says that knowledge
comes ultimately from our senses and that the more complex forms of knowledge come from scientific
investigation. By naturalistic definition there can be no such thing as knowledge of the supernatural.
Statements about God are either non-rational or irrational (if they purport to make objective factual
claims). (Surely Allah is beyond that.)
But it is actually naturalism and materialism that are totally irrational. The followers of these per-
verse beliefs ascribe the power to create to chance, coincidence and unconscious phenomena (surely
Allah is beyond that) and are devoid of any power of rational judgment. What the adherents of a per-
verse religion that ascribes divinity to chance refer to as “knowledge” is based on the idea that chance
created everything out of nothing. So what we are talking about here consists of a perverse belief sys-
tem with no room for reason and logic. For that reason, it will not be hard to see that it is impossible to
refer to such concepts as reason or information when dealing with naturalism, materialism and
Darwinism.
Darwinists are terrified of the widespread discussion of the fact of Creation and of people being con-
vinced of it. They know that there are countless pieces of evidence corroborating the fact of creation, and
that nobody seeing these will ever be taken in again by the deception that is evolution. On the other
