SATAN'S SLY GAME:
THE FALSE RELIGION OF PEOPLE-WORSHIP

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 the required
intermediate forms have never existed. So, it certainly follows
that the theory of evolution should be pushed aside as an unsci-

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-

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 ma-
terialist 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 foremost a materialist and then a scientist":
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow

world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori ad-

and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no mat-
