Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 107

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
compel us accept a material explanation of the phenomenal
world, but, on the contrary, 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
mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is
absolute, so we cannot allow a Divine [intervention]... 20
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 precept 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-
Knowing. This Creator is Allah, Who created the whole

universe from non-existence, designed it in the most perfect
form, and fashioned all living beings.
