198 THE PERFECT DESIGN IN THE UNIVERSE IS NOT BY CHANCE

Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to time. A

well-known geneticist and an outspoken evolutionist, Richard C.
Lewontin from Harvard University, confesses that he is "first and fore-
most a materialist and then a scientist":

It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us
accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the con-

trary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to cre-
ate an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce mater-
ial explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystify-
ing to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so we cannot

allow a Divine Foot in the door. 48
These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept
alive just for the sake of adherence to materialism. This dogma

maintains that there is no being save matter. Therefore, it argues that
inanimate, unconscious matter created life. It insists that millions of
different living species (e.g., birds, fish, giraffes, tigers, insects, trees,

flowers, whales, and human beings) originated as a result of the in-
teractions between matter such as pouring rain, lightning flashes,
and so on, out of inanimate matter. This is a precept contrary both to
reason and science. Yet Darwinists continue to defend it just so as

"not to allow a Divine Foot in the door."
Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a
materialist prejudice will see this evident truth: All living beings are

works of a Creator, Who is All-Powerful, All-Wise, and All-Knowing.
This Creator is God, Who created the whole universe from non-exis-
tence, designed it in the most perfect form, and fashioned all living
beings.
