The Errors of the American National Academy of Sciences



              you came up with would be anything more than nonsense. You might
              persist in your illogicality, even to the extent of claiming that the car
              had been carried to the island from the nearest piece of dry land by a

              storm, or else that over millions of years storms had brought together
              sticks and twigs, animal skins and bones, out of which the car had
              emerged. You might spend your entire life in coming up with theories
              in an attempt to prove that you were the first person on the island,
              and that the car had not been brought there by someone else.
              However, close attention would reveal that your true aim was not to

              discover the truth, but rather to defend the "fixation" under which
              you were laboring. In other words, you would be ignoring what the
              evidence plainly showed you, in order to be able to continue believ-
              ing as you chose.
                   Evolutionists are no less nonsensically and illogically stubborn

              and bigoted. Their aim is not to discover the true origin of life, but to
              keep the only ideology in their lives—materialism—alive. That is
              why they fail to see the most obvious truths, or, if they do see them,
              why they hide and distort them. The NAS booklet is the clearest ex-
              ample of this.

                   In their booklet, the NAS authors claim that creationism should
              not be taught in schools because it is not scientific, but rather linked to
              religious belief. As has been made clear in the preceding pages, how-
              ever, creationism is a fact backed up by the scientific evidence, and
              can of course be included in science curricula. For instance, the intel-
              ligent design in the cell, proteins, the brain, and the communication
              systems between cells can be taught in biology lessons.
