time. A well-known geneticist and an outspoken evolutionist,
Richard C. Lewontin from Harvard University, confesses that he is
"first and foremost a materialist and then a scientist":
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us
accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the con-
trary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to
create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce
material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how
mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so
we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. 19
These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept
alive just for the sake of adherence to materialism. This dogma
maintains that there is no being save matter. Therefore, it argues that
inanimate, unconscious matter created life. It insists that millions of
different living species (e.g., birds, fish, giraffes, tigers, insects, trees,
flowers, whales, and human beings) originated as a result of the in-
teractions between matter such as pouring rain, lightning flashes,
and so on, out of inanimate matter. This is a precept contrary both to
reason and science. Yet Darwinists continue to defend it just so as
"not to allow a Divine Foot in the door."
Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a
materialist prejudice will see this evident truth: All living beings are
works of a Creator, Who is All-Powerful, All-Wise, and All-
Knowing. This Creator is Allah, Who created the whole universe
from non-existence, designed it in the most perfect form, and fash-
ioned all living beings.
