                 magine a religion whose founder claimed to be a scientist, its holy
                 book a treatise with a supposedly scientific message, and its

            I I devotees people who think of themselves as learned.  This religion
            has penetrated into almost every civilization, every school of thought

            and every ideology; its adherents number in the hundreds of millions.
            In every field of specialization – history, sociology, philosophy,
            psychology, biology, etc. – it is a basic dogma, the "light that

                 Actually, every one of you is acquainted with the religion

            fact, and the world lies under the influence of this so-called scientific

            writing this book is to expose these errors and to show those who have

            fallen prey to them that the facade of scientific positivism is nothing
            more than an illusion.  The theory of evolution, with its scripture, its

            devotees, its alleged answers and explanations concerning the origins
            of living things, its idols and beliefs, its closed-mindedness to
