among scientists. They generally imagine that scientific discourse is
independent of the individual scientist's philosophical and ideological
prejudices and that scientists are objective individuals whose facts are
substantiated by concrete evidence and their truth proven by
experiment. For this reason they seldom doubt the correctness of the
theory of evolution.
This is a great error, however, because when evolutionist
"scientists" are discussing the theory of evolution, scientific criteria are
not brought to bear on the issue. These words of the eminent
Darwinian, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, expose the
position of "science" in the Darwinist outlook:
Is evolution a theory, a system, or a hypothesis? It
is much more. It is a general postulate to which
all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must
henceforward bow and which they must satisfy
in order to be thinkable and true. Evolution is a
light which illuminates all facts, a trajectory
which all lines of thought must follow. This is
what evolution is. 3
As can be seen in the above quotation, the terms
used by Darwinists when they speak of their theory give Pierre Teilhard
important clues about their dogmatic attitude and blind de Chardin
allegiance. Taking other examples, one of the leading evolutionists of
the world, G.W. Harper, calls the theory of evolution a "metaphysical
When Darwin's theory was proposed,
science and technology were on a
very primitive level. Scientists of that
period used very basic equipment,
whereas computers and electron
microscopes are used today. The
development of equipment, from the
microscope to other technical
devices, began only in the 20th
century. The results of scientific
advances have nullified the claims
made by Darwinism with its primitive
level of scientific knowledge.
