He squeezes the entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cu-

A Materialist Faith
The information we have presented so far shows us that the
theory of evolution is incompatible with scientific findings. The
theory's claim regarding the origin of life is inconsistent with sci-
ence, the evolutionary mechanisms it proposes have no evolution-
ary power, and fossils demonstrate that the required intermediate
forms have never existed. So, it certainly 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 dogmatic
belief for some circles. These circles are blindly devoted to mate-
rialist philosophy and adopt Darwinism because it is the only
materialist explanation that can be put forward to explain the
workings of nature.
Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to
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 com-
pel us accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but,
on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to ma-
terial causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of
concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how
