248 THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY

A A MATERIALIST SUPERSTITION

The information we have presented so far shows us that the theory
of evolution is incompatible with scientific findings. The theory’s claim
regarding the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the evolutionary
mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power, and fossils

demonstrate that intermediate forms the theory necessitates have never
existed. So, these certainly require that the theory of evolution be pushed
aside as a disproven theory. This is how many ideas, such as the geocen-
tric model of the universe, have been taken out of the realm of science
throughout history.
However, the theory of evolution is persistently kept on the agenda
of science. Some people even try to represent criticisms directed against
it as an “attack on science” and to suppress adversatives. Why?
Because this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief in some cir-
cles. These circles are blindly devoted to a materialist philosophy and
adopt Darwinism because it is the only materialist explanation 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 fore-
most a materialist and then a scientist”:
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us ac-
cept 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 ap-
paratus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explana-
tions, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the
uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so we cannot allow a
Divine [intervention]... (Richard Lewontin, “The Demon-Haunted World,”
The New York Review of Books, January 9, 1997, p. 28)
These are explicit statements demonstrating that Darwinism is a
dogma kept alive just for the sake of adherence to materialism. This dog-
ma maintains that there is no being except for matter. Therefore, it ar-
gues that inanimate, unconscious matter brought life into being. It
