Dean Kenyon wrote a thesis on the origin
of life and chemical evolution that made
him one of evolution's well-known propo-
nents. Today, he is a representative of the
opposition movement against the theory
of evolution and believes that the origins

only by creation.

The Legacy of Dogmatism,

from Epicurus to Darwinism

Benjamin Wiker teaches science and theology at Franciscan
University. His book Moral Darwinism: How We Became Hedonists
gives a detailed account of Darwin's "theory of evolution" as a lat-
ter-day version of the materialist philosophy of the Greek thinker

Epicurus and his Roman counterpart, Lucretius.
Darwin followed these two philosophers in writing in detail
about such unscientific ideas as:
1 Nature is a system that regulates itself.
2 Among living creatures, there is a merciless
struggle for life and this leads to evolution by
means of natural selection.
