==Quotes==
*"The primary problem is not to provide the public with the knowledge of how far it is to the nearest star and what genes are made of. . . . Rather, the problem is to get them to reject irrational and supernatural explanations of the world, the demons that exist only in their imaginations, and to accept a social and intellectual apparatus, Science, as the only begetter of truth."<ref> [http://www.origins.org/articles/johnson_unraveling.html The Unraveling of Scientific Materialism] - Phillip E. Johnson</ref>
*"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 an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." <ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v20/i3/admission.asp Amazing admission]</ref><ref>Richard Lewontin [http://www.drjbloom.com/Public%20files/Lewontin_Review.htm Billions and Billions of Demons] January 9, 1997 New York Times Book Reviews</ref>
