Science and Evolution Essays Nobel prize winning scientist Christian de Duve says in his book Life Evolving says, "Scientific inquiry rests on the notion that all manifestations in the universe are explainable in natural terms without supernatural intervention. Strictly speaking, this notion is not an a priori a philosophical stand or profession of belief. It is a postulate which we should be ready to abandon if faced with facts which defy every attempt at rational explanation." The reality is that those whose professional income is tied to the Macro evolution Darwinian dogma, will not even think about the possibility that a design explanation is possible even in the face of the extreme improbabilities demonstrated by the facts of life's incredible complexities. The dogmatic and extremely closed minded and arrogant position of the Darwinian science community and its atheistic pronouncements are certainly not in the spirit of true science. This writer believes, actually, that it is possible that God, acting in a time frame outside this universe, could have designed the laws of physics so as to require minimal or no direct intervention to generate life of fairly specific forms. The actual evidence, however, clearly indicates something more than setting up the laws of physics and starting the universe running is required. There is no a priori reason to believe that there can be nothing other than selection from random variations and actually good reasons to believe that there is far more to the evolution of life than simple Darwinism; something more than random selfish survival in operation in the evolution process. Some form of life "field" is certainly a possibility that science has not ruled out. There is absolutely nothing in science at all which would preclude such a field. Remember, the absence of proof of more than Darwinism is not the same as proof of the absence of something more. We object to the teaching of Darwin macro evolution as fact and the unscientific spirit of the unwillingness to even consider other possibilities just because they might have religious implications. The essays below represent, we believe, views of the facts which at least imply the possibility if not high probability of more than a simple materialistic explanation for the origin and complexities of life. There are, however, a growing number of scientists raising the questions which cannot be answered by Darwinism. The scientist who wrote one of the mainline books on evolution "Biochemical predestination (written by Dr. D.Kenyon, Doctorate in biophysics and professor of biology at S.F. State University in Calif.) through his studies has come to believe that Darwinism cannot be the full explanation and that design of some type must also be involved in evolution.
