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 science. 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 philosophy and

Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to time. A well-
known geneticist and an outspoken evolutionist, Richard C. Lewontin from
