Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

Materialist scientists know that the property that makes hu-
man beings human is the soul. Yet for these reasons, they pretend
not to know. Fred Alan Wolf expresses this truth:

Today, you will quickly see by perusing the latest books about the
overlap of science, God, and the soul, that most if not all of them at-
tempt either to explain away the soul as a material process, missing
its essential points (that it is sacred and immortal) and its essential
purpose (that it is necessary for consciousness to exist) or never dis-
cuss it at all in spite of the promising book titles. 109

As can be seen from scientists’ words, science has become a
concept rooted solely in materialism. Rather than accepting the re-
vealed facts, everything done in the name of science assumes a
form adapted to materialism. That being so, today we are dealing
with a major inconsistency: science rejects the whole of the materi-
al world that human beings experience with regard to conscious-
ness, and still ignores it in the name of being so-called scientific.
Fred Alan Wolf describes, as a scientist himself, what the sci-
entific approach should be:
My major concern, coming out of the ranks of science, has been my
own arrogance. How arrogant I was, to put down other people’s
ideas that didn’t agree with my scientific view. When I went around
the world and spent time with indigenous peoples and tribes, I real-
ized that my arrogance just didn’t fit in. Like the man in the story by
H. G. Wells, I thought that in the country of scientifically blind, the
one-eyed man would be king. In fact, I was the one who was blind.
I was intellectually incapacitated. As long as I held on to my scientif-
ic view, I couldn’t see. I thought I saw everything; I didn’t see any-
thing. So I had to give up much of what I previously held as real, in
order to see what these people saw. And when I was finally able to
attain this new vision, it totally changed my view of science. And I
began seeing science as a tool—not the be–all and end-all of the uni-
verse, but a tool to help us begin to dig deeper into the nature of
