biology’s deepest paradox.” 181 The Cambrian explosion has totally

the complex, the transitional form claim, the claim that species di-
versified first, the assumptions regarding mechanisms—on which
the evolutionist perspective is based. However, Darwinists have
adopted their theories as a dogma, as laws of nature. Because of
their stubborn beliefs, they have grown accustomed to questioning
the evidence wherever it conflicts with the theory, rather than the
theory itself.
The theory of evolution that they have so blindly adopted has
so dominated their world views that they find it almost impossible
to feel the slightest doubt about the idea. The only doubt they expe-
rience concerning Darwinism concerns those who doubt the theory
itself!
Marjorie Grene, a historian of science, describes this closed
mindset:
It is as a religion of science that Darwinism chiefly held, and holds,
men’s minds. . . The modified, but still characteristically Darwinian
theory has itself become an orthodoxy preached by its adherents with
religious fervor, and doubted, they feel, only by a few meddlers im-
