Evolution and materialism

"Although he was not an ardent anti-evolutionist" leads into the section on Materialism. I'm not sure what his views on evolution (actually, they were theistic evolution, to be specific) have to do with Materialism. DanH 15:53, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

Evolution is a materialist philosophy. Further, although Lewis never rejected evolution, it is clear that he was moving away from it, but not being a scientist, it seems that he didn't feel qualified to actually make the decision to reject it publicly.
