their scientific careers adopt

Icons of
Enchanted by this spell, many Evolution, by
evolutionist scientists go on Jonathan Wells
searching for scientific confir-
mation of 19th century's irra-
tional and outdated

evolutionist claims that have
long since been refuted by sci-
entific evidence.

There are also additional
mechanisms that force scien-
tists to be evolutionist and
materialist. In Western coun-
tries, a scientist has to observe

some standards in order to be
promoted, to receive academic
recognition, or to have his arti-

cles published in scientific
journals. A straightforward ac-
ceptance of evolution is the
number-one criterion. This system drives these scientists so far as to spend their whole lives and scientific
careers for the sake of a dogmatic belief. American molecular biologist Jonathan Wells refers to these pres-

sure mechanisms in his book Icons of Evolution published in 2000:
...Dogmatic Darwinists begin by imposing a narrow interpretation on the evidence and declaring it the only
way to do science. Critics are then labeled unscientific; their articles are rejected by mainstream journals,
whose editorial boards are dominated by the dogmatists; the critics are denied funding by government agen-
cies, who send grant proposals to the dogmatists for "peer" review; and eventually the critics are hounded out
of scientific community altogether. In the process, evidence against the Darwinian view simply disappears,
like witnesses against the Mob. Or the evidence is buried in specialized publications, where only a dedicated
researcher can find. Once critics have been silenced and counter-evidence has been buried, the dogmatists an-
nounce that there is scientific debate about their theory, and no evidence against it. 5

This is the reality that continues to lie behind the assertion "evolution is still accepted by the world of sci-
ence". Evolution is kept alive not because it has a scientific worth but because it is an ideological obligation.
Very few of the scientists who are aware of this fact can risk pointing out that the king isn't wearing any
clothes.

In the rest of this book, we will be reviewing the findings of modern science against evolution which are
either disregarded by evolutionists or "buried in specialized publications", and display of the clear evidence
of God's existence. The reader will witness that evolution theory is in fact a deceit-a deceit that is belied by
science at every step but is upheld to veil the fact of creation. What is to be hoped of the reader is that he will

wake up from the spell that blinds people's minds and disrupts their ability to judge and he will reflect seri-
ously on what is related in this book.
If he rids himself of this spell and thinks clearly, freely, and without any prejudice, he will soon discover
the crystal-clear truth. This inevitable truth, also demonstrated by modern science in all its aspects, is that

living organisms came into existence not by chance but as a result of creation. Man can easily see the fact of
creation when he considers how he himself exists, how he has come into being from a drop of water, or the
perfection of every other living thing.
