ETERNITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN

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 com-
pel us accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but,
on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to ma-
terial causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of con-
cepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-in-
tuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that
materialism is absolute, so we cannot allow a Divine [interven-
tion]... 37
These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept
alive just for the sake of adherence to materialism. This dogma
maintains that there is no being save matter. Therefore, it argues

that inanimate, unconscious matter brought life into being. It insists
that millions of different living species (e.g., birds, fish, giraffes,
tigers, insects, trees, flowers, whales, and human beings) originated
as a result of the interactions between matter such as pouring rain,
lightning flashes, and so on, out of inanimate matter. This is a pre-
cept contrary both to reason and science. Yet Darwinists continue to
ignorantly defend it just so as not to acknowledge, in their own eyes,
the evident existence of Allah.
Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a
materialist prejudice sees this evident truth: All living beings are
works of a Creator, Who is All-Powerful, All-Wise, and All-Know-
ing. This Creator is Allah, Who created the whole universe from
non-existence, designed it in the most perfect form, and fashioned
all living beings.
