The Signs Leading To Faith
             150


                  should ponder on Almighty God, and fear and seek refuge in
                  Him, for He squeezes the entire universe in a pitch-dark place
                  of a few cubic centimeters in a three-dimensional, colored,

                  shadowy, and luminous form.





                       A Materialist Faith
                       The information we have presented so far shows us that
                  the theory of evolution is incompatible with scientific find-

                  ings. The theory's claim regarding the origin of life is inconsis-
                  tent with science, the evolutionary mechanisms it proposes
                  have no evolutionary power, and fossils demonstrate that the

                  required intermediate forms have never existed. So, it cer-
                  tainly follows that the theory of evolution should be pushed
                  aside as an unscientific idea. This is how many ideas, such as
                  the Earth-centered universe model, have been taken out of the

                  agenda of science throughout history.
                       However, the theory of evolution is kept on the agenda of
                  science. Some people even try to represent criticisms directed

                  against it as an "attack on science." Why?
                       The reason is that this theory is an indispensable dog-
                  matic belief for some circles. These circles are blindly devoted
                  to materialist philosophy and adopt Darwinism because it is

                  the only materialist explanation that can be put forward to ex-
                  plain the workings of nature.
                       Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time

                  to time. A well-known geneticist and an outspoken evolution-
                  ist, Richard C. Lewontin from Harvard University, confesses
