If at present there were irresistible inferences for the alleged fact of evolution but none for natural theology, there would be no need for this censorship and oppression. The facts would speak for themselves. However, the true situation is the very reverse of this.
A current article gives particulars of this oppression exercised in two recent cases.15 It also brings out that the censorship of criticism of the evolution world-view has as its ultimate object the elimination of all religious beliefs by classifying them as "anti-science." But the weaponry in this war against religion is not true natural science, but, as shown above, is only pseudo-science.
In a speech recently made and now appearing in article form, Professor Phillip E. Johnson refers to the second case of oppression, abovementioned.16 It was exercised by evolutionists in control of scientific education at San Francisco State University in the United States. It concerned the action they took to suppress reference by a professor of biology to the case for intelligent design, when also teaching the case for evolution to first-year undergraduates.
Johnson gives this case as an illustration as to why the creation/evolution issue is not really one between religious beliefs and science but one between argument for intelligent design (theism) and a philosophical "naturalism" (atheism) and so concludes that any form of theistic evolution is a grave error.
Christians should now realize that evolution is not part of genuine natural science but is no more than an excuse invented by men to reject God, their Creator (cf. Romans 1:19-20); and that theistic evolution likewise is unscientific.
