William Provine, professor of history at Cornell University
and also an evolutionist, states that the world view of someone

who believes in the theory of evolution is at complete variance

Charles Smith, former president of the American

saying "Evolution is Atheism." 162
Phillip Johnson describes the importance of the theory of

Darwinism and materialism have made it their aim to use sci-

ence as a means of rejecting God. But the fact is, science is a most
valuable means of revealing the proofs of God's existence. The
last 20 years have seen a rapid rise in the numbers of scientists
who support the fact of creation. Every new study, and every
new piece of information shows that an exceedingly sensitive
and flawless equilibrium exists in the entire universe, and re-

Michael Denton states that Darwinism brings atheism in its
