Sociobiologists seek to apply the same claim about animals'
altruistic behavior to human beings. In other words, when a

mother protects her child from danger without a moment's hes-
itation, she is actually concerned over protecting her genes.
Evolutionists' rejection of attributes belonging to the human
soul and their attempts to account for such phenomena in terms
of evolution are based on no scientific evidence whatsoever.
With their illogical claims, evolutionists disregard the human
consciousness and conscience. The fact remains that a human
being is possessed of a soul and the capacities for reasoned
thought and judgment, and can distinguish between right and
wrong. When a mother makes a sacrifice for her child, she does
so because she loves that child, feels affection and compassion
for him, and makes that sacrifice because she sees him as weak
and assumes the responsibility of protecting him. When her
child is in pain, for instance, she puts herself in the child's posi-
tion and will be prepared to make any sacrifice to relieve his
pain. These are attributes that a robot or "gene bearing ma-
chine," so beloved of evolutionists, can never possess.
In fact, evolutionists are well aware that evolution can

never account for attributes belonging to the human soul. For
example, the evolutionist Robert Wallace says the following in
his book The Genesis Factor:
I do not believe that man is simply a clever egotist, genetically
driven to look after his own reproduction. He is that. But he is at
least that. He is obviously much more. The evidence for this is
simple and abundant. One need only hear the Canon in D Major
by Johann Pachelbel to know that there are immeasurable depths
to the human spirit... 187
Wallace stresses a point of the greatest importance.
According to evolutionists' unrealistic definition, a human

being is merely a machine bearing genes. It's thus impossible for
