Quite the Admission

Professing themselves to be wise,

 they became fools....

Romans 1:22

"Professor Richard Lewontin, a geneticist, is a renowned champion of neo-Darwinism, and certainly one of the world’s leaders in promoting evolutionary biology. 

He recently wrote this very revealing comment. It illustrates the implicit philosophical bias against Genesis creation regardless of whether or not the facts support it:

"We take the side of science 

in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, 

in spite of its failure to fulfil 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."
