According to Stark, from
early on “atheism was central
to the agenda of the
Darwinians.”
It was the use of bogus science
against religion which
eventually provoked religious
opposition to the theory.
“For the heirs of the
Enlightenment, evolution
seemed finally to supply the
weapon needed to destroy
religion,” said Stark.
Thomas Huxley set the
pattern by claiming the only
choice was between Darwin
or Bible literalism. Rejecting
this view Stark commented,
“one may note the serious
shortcomings of neo-
Darwinism without opting
for any rival theory.”
