Once Upon a Time

Religion and Science Never Conflict

Before we proceed to trace the demise of Darwinism's
myths in the following pages, we must show the invalidity of an-
other idea that binds supporters of evolutionary theory.
This is the false assumption that there exists a conflict between
religion and science. Those who defend this assumption claim that
the theory of evolution must be true because "scientists" unani-
mously accepted it as scientifically proven. They propose that
Creation is a theory for "faith" only, but not for science. However,
such assertions are not based on the facts. As an example, take the
ongoing argument about how the theory of evolution should be

taught in United States schools. This argument is carried on solely
on a scientific level, but there are attempts to show it as the "dis-
agreement between the churches and scientists." News broadcast
by some media organizations, and articles in some newspapers on
the matter, all suffer from the same superficial assumptions, which
are wrong for the following reasons:
First, Creation is supported by scientific evidence. The present
evolution-versus-Creation debate is not between scientists and the

churches, but between scientists who stubbornly believe in the the-
ory of evolution and other scientists who see that this theory is in-
valid. All the available evidence argues against evolution. On the
strength of this evidence, the theory of evolution in the USA has
declined since the second half of the 20th century, which de-

Kansas, Georgia and Ohio that schools must also
teach the evidence for the theory of evolution's
