            Him, for He squeezes the entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few
            cubic centimeters in a three-dimensional, colored, shadowy, and lumi-

                 A Materialist Faith

                 The information we have presented so far shows us that the the-
            ory of evolution is incompatible with scientific findings. The theory's
            claim regarding the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the evo-
            lutionary mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power, and
            fossils demonstrate that the required intermediate forms have never
            existed. So, it 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 philos-
            ophy and adopt Darwinism because it is the only materialist explana-
            tion that can be put forward to explain the workings of nature.

                 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 fore-
            most a materialist and then a scientist":
                 It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us
                 accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the con-
                 trary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to
                 create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce

                 material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how
