Reveals the Ultimate Truth, Schroeder sets out the conclusion revealed by such branches of science as molecular

biology and quantum physics:

A single consciousness, a universal wisdom, pervades the universe. The discoveries of science, those that search the
quantum nature of subatomic matter, have moved us to the brink of a startling realization: all existence is the ex-
pression of this wisdom. In the laboratories we experience it as information that first physically articulated as en-
ergy and then condensed into the form of matter. Every particle, every being, from atom to human, appears to
represent a level of information, of wisdom. 331

According to Schroeder, the contemporary scientific conclusions have enabled science and theology to
agree on a common point. That is the fact of creation. Science has now reached the point of discovering this fact

which the Divine religions have been teaching for thousands of years.

Materialist Admissions

We have already described how one of the fundamental principles that make up life is "knowledge," and it
is clear that this knowledge proves the existence of an intelligent Creator. The theory of evolution, which tries
to account for life as being the result of coincidences in a purely material world, and the materialist philosophy
it is based on, are quite helpless in the face of this reality.
When we look at evolutionists' writings, we sometimes see that this helplessness is openly admitted. One
forthright authority on this subject is the well-known French zoologist Pierre-Paul Grassé. He is a materialist

and an evolutionist, although he sometimes openly admits the quandaries Darwinist theory faces. According
to Grassé, the most important truth which invalidates the Darwinist account is the knowledge that gives rise to
life:

Any living being possesses an enormous amount of "intelligence," very much more than is necessary to build the
most magnificent of cathedrals. Today, this "intelligence" is called information, but it is still the same thing. It is not
programmed as in a computer, but rather it is condensed on a molecular scale in the chromosomal DNA or in that of

every other organelle in each cell. This "intelligence" is the sine qua non of life. Where does it come from?... This is a
problem that concerns both biologists and philosophers, and, at present, science seems incapable of solving it. 332

The reason why Pierre-Paul Grassé says, "Science seems incapable of solving it," is that he does not want
any nonmaterialist explanation to be thought of as "scientific." However, science itself invalidates the hypothe-
ses of materialist philosophy, and proves the existence of a Creator. Grassé and other materialist "scientists" ei-
ther ignore this reality, or else say, "Science does not explain this." They do this because they are materialists
first and scientists second, and they continue to believe in materialism, even if science demonstrates the exact
opposite.

For this reason, in order to possess a correct scientific attitude, one has to distinguish between science and
materialist philosophy.
