THE MIRACLE OF MIGRATION IN ANIMALS

Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should pon-
der on Almighty God, and fear and seek refuge in Him, for He
squeezes the entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cubic cen-
timeters in a three-dimensional, colored, shadowy, and luminous
form.

A Materialist Faith

The information we have presented so far shows us that the the-
ory of evolution is incompatible with scientific findings. The theory’s
claim regarding the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the evo-
lutionary mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power, and
fossils demonstrate that the required intermediate forms have never
existed. So, it certainly follows that the theory of evolution should be
pushed aside as an unscientific idea. This is how many ideas, such as
the Earth-centered universe model, have been taken out of the
agenda of science throughout history.
However, the theory of evolution is kept on the agenda of sci-
ence. Some people even try to represent criticisms directed against it
as an “attack on science.” Why?
The reason is that this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief
for some circles. These circles are blindly devoted to materialist phi-
losophy and adopt Darwinism because it is the only materialist ex-
planation that can be put forward to explain the workings of nature.
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 foremost 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
contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes
to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that pro-
