110 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

belong to perfect life forms.
The claim of human evolution is even regarded as groundless by the
people involved in shaping it. The claim is based, not on science, but on
the beliefs and prejudices that shape the theory. But the interesting thing
is how these “admissions” from the world of paleoanthropology are nev-
er reflected in the press. On the contrary, one part of the media that sup-
ports Darwinism is careful to conceal this predicament facing the theory

Dr. Robert Martin is senior research fellow at the Zoological
Society of London:

gins which were based more on fantasy and subjectivity than on fact and
objectivity. At the moment science cannot offer a full answer on the origin
of humanity, but scientific method takes us closer to the truth... 275
