The Dark Spell of Darwinism




                 Method # 9: They try to prove evolution on the
                 evidence of irrelevant topics and discoveries

                 Another method Darwinists use to perpetuate their spell is to present
            topics that have nothing to do with evolution as "evidence" for the validity
            of their theory. For example, they'll write pages about the marvelous exam-
            ples of Creation to be found in the bodies of humans and animals, but end
            their treatise by saying, "Here is a beautiful product of evolution." But learn-
            ing how a system functions is not enough to understand how and why it
            came into being. By observation, for example, we can learn how the solar
            system works, how the planets interact with one another, and how fast they
            rotate. That does not relate to how and why the solar system came to be—
            but this is what evolutionists do. They talk endlessly about matters of ge-
            netics, space research, biology, anatomy, geology and sociology; but never

            do deal with the basic question of how or why these things came into exis-
            tence.
                 According to the noted American professor of biochemistry, Michael J.
            Behe, evolutionists strive to explain every subject, relevant or irrelevant, in
            terms of evolution:
                 The theory has even been stretched by some scientists to interpret human be-
                 havior: why desperate people commit suicide, why teenagers have babies out
                 of wedlock, why some groups do better on intelligence tests than other
                 groups, and why religious missionaries forgo marriage and children. There is
                 nothing—no organ or idea, no sense or thought—that has not been the subject
                 of evolutionary rumination. 59
                 Julian Huxley, one of the leading evolutionists of the twentieth cen-
            tury, explains how they want to have their theory accepted as a principle
            encompassing the whole universe:
                 The concept of Darwinism was soon extended into other than biological fields.
                 Inorganic subjects such as the life history of stars and the formation of the
                 chemical elements on the one hand, and on the other hand subjects like lin-
                 guistics, social anthropology, and comparative law and religion, began to be
