Evolution is an Anti-God, False Religion

 

Evolution is impossible and is a false religion.  It is contrary to true science and to careful reasoning.  However, just as Marxists falsely appeal to (supposed) science, so do the evolutionists.  But the truth is that Marxists and evolutionists both adhere to the (false) religion of Materialism.

 

Most Marxists and evolutionists are too naïve and uninformed to know that they are simply believing this (false) religion of Materialism, or they are not candid enough to admit this.  However, occasionally one of them admits the truth that their position is really a tenet of a (false) religion, and that their conclusions are not compelled by real scientific reasoning. 

 

Below, is one such admission by evolutionist, Richard Lewontin, a Professor of Zoology at Harvard.  He tells us that he is an evolutionist because of his prior (religious) decision to be a materialist.  Further, he admits that he chooses to be a materialist in order to not admit that God has any role in the world and in order that he can reject the existence of God (i.e., to not “allow a Divine Foot in the door”).  Here are Lewontin’s words:

                                                          

We take the side of science [sic] in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.  It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, 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, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.[1]

 

In the same way in which Catholics should approach the adherents to any false religion, we should respond to evolutionists by using sound, rational arguments and real science to remove obstacles which prevent those persons from coming to the truth.  However, their chief problem is a moral one,[2] i.e., accepting a false principle because of their prior commitment to it (like Lewontin explained).  In the conversion of an evolutionist, God’s grace and prayer for the person play a larger role.

[2]           By observing that evolutionists’ chief problem is a moral one, this does not mean that we judge their subjective culpability for their false and evil position.  Similarly, we judge drunkenness to be a moral problem, but we neither judge the subjective culpability of alcoholics nor say that we know with certainty they will go to hell.

 

Concerning the distinction about our duty to judge exterior actions (and statements) but our obligation not to judge interior, subjective culpability for sin, we recommend that you read chapter five of the book, Sedevacantism, Material or Formal Schism, which is available here:
