verse model, have been taken out of the agenda of science throughout his-
tory.
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

The reason is that this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief for
some circles. These circles are blindly devoted to materialist philosophy

Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to time. A well-
