The term "a priori" that Lewontin uses here is quite important. This
philosophical term refers to a presupposition not based on any
experimental knowledge. A thought is "a priori" when you consider it to
be correct and accept it as so even if there is no information available to
confirm it. As the evolutionist Lewontin frankly states, materialism is an
"a priori" commitment for evolutionists, who then try to adapt science to
this preconception. Since materialism definitely necessitates denying the
existence of a Creator, they embrace the only alternative they have to
hand, which is the theory of evolution. It does not matter to such scientists
that evolution has been belied by scientific facts, because they have
accepted it "a priori" as true.
This prejudiced behavior leads evolutionists to a belief that
"unconscious matter composed itself," which is contrary not only to
science, but also to reason. The concept of "the self-organization of matter,"
which we examined in an earlier chapter, is an expression of this.
Evolutionist propaganda, which we constantly come across in the
Western media and in well-known and "esteemed" science magazines, is
the outcome of this ideological necessity. Since evolution is considered to
be indispensable, it has been turned into a taboo subject by the circles that
set the standards of science.
Some scientists find themselves in a position where they are forced to
defend this far-fetched theory, or at least avoid uttering any word against
it, in order to maintain their reputations. Academics in Western countries
have to have articles published in certain scientific journals in order to
attain and hold onto their professorships. All of the journals dealing with
biology are under the control of evolutionists, and they do not allow any
anti-evolutionist article to appear in them. Biologists, therefore, have to
conduct their research under the domination of this theory. They, too, are
part of the materialist order, which regards evolution as an ideological
necessity, which is why they blindly defend all the "impossible
coincidences" we have been examining in this book.
