DARWINISM REFUTED
According to Schroeder, the contemporary scientific conclusions
have enabled science and theology to agree on a common point. That is the
fact of creation. Science has now reached the point of discovering this fact
which the Divine religions have been teaching for thousands of years.
Materialist Admissions
We have already described how one of the fundamental principles
that make up life is "knowledge," and it is clear that this knowledge proves
the existence of an intelligent Creator. The theory of evolution, which tries
to account for life as being the result of coincidences in a purely material
world, and the materialist philosophy it is based on, are quite helpless in
the face of this reality.
When we look at evolutionists' writings, we sometimes see that this
helplessness is openly admitted. One forthright authority on this subject is
the well-known French zoologist Pierre-Paul Grassé. He is a materialist and
an evolutionist, although he sometimes openly admits the quandaries
Darwinist theory faces. According to Grassé, the most important truth which
invalidates the Darwinist account is the knowledge that gives rise to life:
Any living being possesses an enormous amount of "intelligence," very
much more than is necessary to build the most magnificent of cathedrals.
Today, this "intelligence" is called information, but it is still the same thing.
It is not programmed as in a computer, but rather it is condensed on a
molecular scale in the chromosomal DNA or in that of every other organelle
in each cell. This "intelligence" is the sine qua non of life. Where does it come
from?... This is a problem that concerns both biologists and philosophers,
and, at present, science seems incapable of solving it. 381
The reason why Pierre-Paul Grassé says, "Science seems incapable of
solving it," is that he does not want any nonmaterialist explanation to be
thought of as "scientific." However, science itself invalidates the
hypotheses of materialist philosophy, and proves the existence of a
Creator. Grassé and other materialist "scientists" either ignore this reality,
or else say, "Science does not explain this." They do this because they are
materialists first and scientists second, and they continue to believe in
materialism, even if science demonstrates the exact opposite.
For this reason, in order to possess a correct scientific attitude, one
has to distinguish between science and materialist philosophy.
