               to admit it. Today, a great many biolo-

               ned the myth that life was born as a re-
               sult of chance.
                  The fact of creation conflicts with no
               scientific facts. On the contrary, all sci-
               entific findings tend to support it. The
               Big Bang Theory, for instance, confirms  F Francis Crick k
