Page 127 - The Dark Spell of Darwinism

paraging style. In these words, he describes those who do not accept evo-
lution:

It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to be-
lieve in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane. 65
As we can see from what he says, Dawkins closes his eyes to scientific
proofs presented to him by anyone else, adopting a prejudiced stance in
order not to break the Darwinist spell under which he labors, hoping to in-
still this same prejudice in others.
In this area, another method evolutionists use is to listen to a presen-
tation on the facts of Creation and then, in an actively aggressive way, to
assert that those influenced by it are deficient in some manner. They believe
that these people are on the wrong path and they don't hesitate to call them
names and assault their sacred values.
Another method evolutionists use is to make snide comments about
books and articles critical of Darwinism. Instead of responding with scien-
tific evidence, they try to pass over the matter with a dismissive smile. Peter
Van Inwogen, professor of philosophy at Notre Dame University, in his re-
view of Michael J. Behe's famous book, Darwin's Black Box comments on the
prejudiced attitude of evolutionist scientists:
If Darwinians respond to this important book by ignoring it, misrepresenting
it, or ridiculing it, that will be evidence in favor of the widespread suspicion
that Darwinism today functions more as an ideology than as a scientific the-
ory. 66
Thus, we realize that the reason why Darwinists react snidely to sci-
entific proofs is totally ideological. Evolutionists espouse it just in order
that they can reject religion and the fact of Creation. And as we have said
so far, still they use the Darwinist spell to perpetuate this rejection. At the
basis of this method is treating opposing ideas with disdain. Using this be-
havior, they attempt to instill the suggestion that the way of evolution is the
only way, and that believing in Creation will make people appear ridicu-
lous. But Darwinists are making a great error and deceiving themselves.
