The idea of evolution from molecule to man does not meet the criteria of scientific theory. There is not a single evolutionary transition (transitional forms) that humans have ever observed, neither in human history nor in the fossil record; the universal law of entropy makes this impossible on any significant scale.
Evolutionists claim that evolution is a scientific fact, but they almost always lose out in scientific debates with creation scientists. Not surprisingly, most evolutionists are now abandoning scientific debate in favor of one-sided attacks on creationists.
This begs the question, why do they need to oppose creationism? Why are they so adamantly devoted to anti-creationism?
The point is that evolutionists believe in evolution because they want to believe. They want to explain the origin of everything without a Creator at any cost. Thus, evolutionism is essentially an atheistic religion. Some prefer to call it humanism, and the evolutionists of the New Age movement put it in the context of pantheism, but it's all essentially the same. The goal of atheism or humanism (or even pantheism) is to exclude God from any active role in the origin of the world and all its components, including man.
The center of humanistic philosophy is naturalism - the assumption that the natural world develops according to its own internal dynamics, without divine or supernatural control or guidance, and that man is a creation of this process. It is instructive to recall that the philosophers of the early humanist movements were in debate about which term more adequately describes their position: humanism or naturalism. Two inseparable and complementary concepts.
Since naturalism and humanism exclude God from science and from any other active functions in the creation or maintenance of life and the world in general, it is obvious that their position is nothing more than atheism. And atheism is a religion no less than theism! Even evolutionary atheist Richard Dawkins admits that it is impossible to prove atheism:
Therefore, they have to believe it, which makes it a religion. The atheistic essence of the theory of evolution is not only allowed, but insisted on by most leaders of evolutionary thought. For example Ernst Meyer said:
A professor in the Kansas Department of Biology once stated:

It is well known in the world of science today that such influential evolutionists as Stephen Jay Gould and Edward Wilson of Harvard, Richard Dawkins of England, William Provine of Cornell University, and many others are dogmatic atheists. Prominent philosopher and fervent Darwinist Michael Roose admitted that the theory of evolution is their religion!
“Worldview” is another way to express the concept of “religion”. The evolutionary worldview applies not only to the evolution of life, but even to the entire universe. In the field of cosmic evolution, evolutionists have departed even more from experimental science than scientists who study life. They invent many evolutionary cosmologies from esoteric mathematics or metaphysical assumptions. Socialist Jeremy Rifkin commented on this wonderful game.
Therefore, they must believe in the theory of evolution despite the evidence, not because of it. Speaking of fabrications, pay attention to this interesting statement:
The author of this candid statement is Richard Lewontin of Harvard. Since evolution is not a laboratory science, you cannot test its validity; thus all sorts of "just so happened" stories were invented to decorate textbooks. But that doesn't make them true! One evolutionist (more critical), studying another evolutionist's book, said:
The astonishingly honest confession of a physicist reveals the fierce devotion and dedication of educated scientists to naturalism. Speaking of students who naturally trusted their highly educated professors, he said:
Creation students who have taken courses with evolutionist professors can attest to the chilling reality of this claim. Indeed, the theory of evolution is the pseudoscientific foundation of the religion of atheism, as Roose noted. William Provine of Cornell University is another scholar who has openly admitted this:
Once again, note the fact that evolution is not a science, despite the rantings of evolutionists. This is a philosophical worldview and nothing more. Another outstanding comment from an evolutionist:
Even this statement is overly generous. In fact, the experimental evidence that would demonstrate the reality of evolution (macroevolution) is not a "minimum." They don't exist!
The concept of the theory of evolution as a form of religion is not new. In my book, The Long War Against God, I addressed the fact that some forms of evolution have been the pseudo-rational underpinnings of every anti-creationist religion since the beginning of history. This includes all ancient pagan religions, as well as such modern world religions as Buddhism, Hinduism and others; they can also include "liberal" movements even in creationist religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam).
Sir Huxley, the main creator of modern neo-Darwinism, is widely recognized as the leading evolutionist of the 20th century. He called the theory of evolution "religion without revelation" and wrote a book with this title (2nd edition, 1957). In a later book, he said:
Later in his book, he passionately argued that we must change "our model of religious thought from God-centered to evolution-centered." He went on to say that "The hypothesis of God … is a mental and moral burden on our thought." Therefore, he concluded that "we must create something that would take the place of the hypothesis of God."
This "something", of course, is the religion of evolutionary humanism, and this is what the leaders of humanism are doing today.
In concluding this summary of the case of science versus evolution (and therefore in favor of creationism), the reader is reminded once again that all quotes in this article are from evolutionists. No biblical references or creationist statements have been included here. Evolutionists themselves have actually shown that the theory of evolution is not a science, but a religious belief in atheism.
