Religion Helps Science T o Be Rightly Guided
etc., eventually proved to be worthless attempts expended in vain. Just as
the racist ideology brought disaster for humanity by leading to World
War II, so did the materialist ideology drag the world of science into
darkness needlessly.
If, however, the scientific community had based its efforts, not on the
misconception of materialism, but on the reality that the universe was
created by God, scientific research would have taken a more proper course.
The Loss The Hopeless Efforts to Prove the Theory of
Evolution Have Caused Science
The most instructive example of an improper orientation for science,
was the adoption of Darwin's evolutionary theory. Having been
introduced to the agenda of scientific study a 140 years ago, this theory is
actually the greatest fallacy perpetrated in the history of science.
The theory of evolution contends that life came about by the
configuration of lifeless matter through chance. The same theory further
claims that organisms which have been formed by chance evolved into
other creatures again by chance. At center stage for the last one and a half
centuries, has been the concerted effort to find scientific justification for
this scenario, whose results though, ironically, proved only the contrary.
Scientific evidence has demonstrated that evolution never took place,
that the possibility of the gradual transformation from one species to
another is out of the question, and that all living species were created
distinctly and in their present forms.
Nevertheless, despite all firm evidence, evolutionists perform countless
studies and experiments, write volumes of books crammed with nothing
but fallacies and errors, establish institutions, hold conferences, and air
television programs, to prove evolution. The exploitation of thousands of
scientists, and measureless amounts of money and resources, for an
unprovable assertion, has certainly been a serious detriment for
humanity. Had these resources been properly directed, such a loss would
not have been incurred, but great strides rather would have been
achieved, and definitive results attained in more pertinent areas of
scientific study.
