                 tion sufficiently clearly. If he had seen it, he would not have gone down
                 the road of locating certain activities rooted in the human mind and moral
                 awareness within a biological evolutionary framework. In his view,
                 "thought" was something to be seen as the juice of the brain. "In the same
                 way that gravity is a feature of matter, so thought is a characteristic of our
                 brains," says Darwin. But is this equation, which confuses physiology and
                 psychology, strictly accurate?... At this point, it is clear that Darwin is in
                 error. 338
                 Hoimar Von Ditfurth is a German professor of neurology and a

            well-known evolutionist science writer:
                 We are unable to provide any answer to how consciousness, the soul, rea-
                 son and emotion came into being along the path of natural history and ge-
                 netic development.  Because there is no superior attribute to the soul we
                 possess. In the words of evolutionary theoreticians, we have no equation
                 by which we can perceive and understand the soul as a whole. 339
                 Roger Lewin is a well-known evolutionist science writer and for-
            mer editor of New Scientist magazine:

                 In the physical realm, any theory of human evolution must explain how
                 it was that an ape-like ancestor, equipped with powerful jaws and long,
                 dagger-like canine teeth and able to run at speed on four limbs, became
                 transformed into a slow, bipedal animal whose natural means of defense
                 were at best puny. Add to this the powers of intellect, speech and morali-
                 ty, upon which we "stand raised as upon a mountain top" as Huxley put
                 it; and one has the complete challenge to evolutionary theory. 340
                 Materialist scientists in fact know that what makes human beings

            human is the human soul. But they all claim not to know it.
                 Fred Alan Wolf expresses this fact thus:
                 Today, you will quickly see by perusing the latest books about the over-
                 lap of science, God, and the soul, that most if not all of them attempt ei-
                 ther to explain away the soul as a material process, missing its essential
                 points (that it is sacred and immortal) and its essential purpose (that it is
                 necessary for consciousness to exist) or never discuss it at all in spite of
                 the promising book titles. 341
                 Consiousness cannot be explained in terms of any Darwinist claim.
