COMMUNISM IN AMBUSH

Because this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief in some
circles. These circles are b blindly devoted to a 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 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 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 cre-
ate 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]... (Richard Lewontin, “The
Demon-Haunted World,” The New York Review of Books, January 9,
1997, p. 28)
These are explicit statements demonstrating that Darwinism is a
dogma kept alive just for the sake of adherence to materialism. This
dogma maintains that there is no being except for matter. Therefore,
it argues that inanimate, unconscious matter brought life into being.
It claims that millions of different living species (e.g., birds, fish, gi-
raffes, tigers, insects, trees, flowers, whales, and human beings) orig-
inated as a result of interactions between matter, such as pouring
rain, lightning flashes, and so on, or out of inanimate matter. This is a
precept contrary to both reason and science. Yet Darwinists continue
to ignorantly defend it just so as not to acknowledge, in their own
eyes, the evident existence of God.
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 God, Who created the whole universe from
non-existence, in the most perfect form, and fashioned all living be-
ings.
