viding respiration and functioning as a catalyst in each step in a different form make up the core of the mech-
anism. A cell has to contain this enzyme sequence completely, otherwise it is meaningless. Here, despite
being contrary to biological thought, in order to avoid a more dogmatic explanation or speculation, we have
to accept, though reluctantly, that all the respiration enzymes completely existed in the cell before the cell
first came in contact with oxygen. 177
The conclusion to be drawn from such pronouncements is that evolution is not a theory arrived at
through scientific investigation. On the contrary, the form and substance of this theory were dictated by the

requirements of materialistic philosophy. It then turned into a belief or dogma in spite of concrete scientific
facts. Again, we can clearly see from evolutionist literature that all of this effort has a "purpose"-and that
purpose precludes any belief that all living things were not created no matter what the price.
Evolutionists define this purpose as "scientific". However, what they refer to is not science but materi-

alist philosophy. Materialism absolutely rejects the existence of anything "beyond" matter (or of anything
supernatural). Science itself is not obliged to accept such a dogma. Science means exploring nature and de-
riving conclusions from one's findings. If these findings lead to the conclusion that nature is created, sci-
ence has to accept it. That is the duty of a true scientist; not defending impossible scenarios by clinging to

the outdated materialist dogmas of the 19th century.
