The Signs Leading To Faith
              88

                  nisms of nature” had no developmental power at all.
                       Since Darwin’s time, western science has discovered these
                  facts one by one. Interestingly, instead of proving Darwinism,

                  they actually revealed what a grave deception that theory is.
                  (One of the strongest present-day proponents of the theory of
                  evolution, Richard Dawkins, attempted a last-ditch defense of
                  this claim in his book The Blind Watchmaker, but failed.) Science

                  proved that Paley’s opinion was correct and that living things
                  were indeed “signs leading to faith.” Behe stresses this in his
                  book:

                       Who has answered his [Paley’s] argument? How was the watch
                       produced without an intelligent designer? ... Paley has actually
                       never been refuted. Neither Darwin nor Dawkins, neither science
                       nor philosophy, has explained how an irreducibly complex sys-
                       tem such as a watch might be produced without a designer. 28

                       The rediscovery will have a deep influence upon both the
                  scientific world and the world in general. By this means, the ma-

                  terialist philosophy of Darwinism will be overthrown, and peo-
                  ple will comprehend God’s existence and begin to live by His
                  teachings. The disasters and tragedies inflicted on the world by
                  unbelief will disappear, as will the fascist, communist, or capital-

                  ist ideologies encouraged by Darwinism, and the proper moral
                  values of religion will prevail.
                       The key to this transformation consists of learning about,

                  understanding, and explaining the signs of faith to all people.
                  These signs will, if God wills, eliminate the unbeliever’s false-
                  hoods and the modern age’s deceptions, in the same way that
                  Prophet Moses’ (May God bless him) staff swallowed up the

                  Egyptian magicians’ illusory serpents.
