MICHAEL RUSE
‘Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology,
a secular religion – a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning
and morality.
I am an ardent evolutionist and an ex-Christian, but I must admit that in
this one complaint – Mr. [sic] Gish is but one of many to make it – the
literalists are absolutely right. Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it
is true of evolution still today.’
‘…Evolution therefore came into being as a kind of secular ideology,
an explicit substitute for Christianity.’
Michael Ruse was professor of philosophy and zoology at the University of Guelph,
Canada (recently moved to FSU).
PROFESSOR RICHARD
LEWONTIN‘Our willingness to accept scientific
claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the
supernatural.
We take the side of science 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.
The eminent Kant scholar Lewis Beck used to say that anyone who could
believe in God could believe in anything. To appeal to an omnipotent deity is to
allow that at any moment the regularities of nature may be ruptured,
that Miracles may happen.’ In 1973, Richard Lewontin was appointed as Alexander Agassiz
Professor of Zoology and Professor of Biology at Harvard University.
