The information we have presented so far shows us that
the theory of evolution is a incompatible with scientific find-
ings. The theory’s claim regarding the origin of life is incon-

the required intermediate forms have never existed. So, it cer-
tainly 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 dogmat-
ic belief for some circles. These circles are blindly devoted to
materialist philosophy and adopt Darwinism because it is the
only materialist explanation 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 evolu-
tionist, Richard C. Lewontin from Harvard University, con-
fesses that he is “first and foremost a materialist and then a
scientist”:
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow
