Question 15:
Why is a fundamentally
religious idea, a dogmatic belief system that fails to explain the evidence,
taught in science classes? Karl
Popper, famous philosopher of science, said “Darwinism is not a testable
scientific theory, but a metaphysical [religious] research programme ....”[13] Michael
Ruse, evolutionist science philosopher admitted, “Evolution is a religion. This
was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still
today.”[14] If “you can’t teach religion in science classes”, why
is evolution taught?, creation.com/notscience

So, the famous Karl Popper admitted that “Darwinism
is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research programme.” A “metaphysical” program?
Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary Online tells us metaphysical
means “of or relating to the transcendent or to a reality
beyond what is perceptible to the senses, supernatural.”
Evolutionists claim Biblical Creation
cannot be taught in schools, regardless of whether or not it is true, because
it does not rely on science, but upon the supernatural. How is it a leading evolutionist of his time
could admit evolution is NOT a testable scientific theory, thus making
evolution NOT science, but is instead a metaphysical (reality beyond what is
perceptible to the senses, supernatural) program and evolutionists still claim
evolution is science, and do so with a straight face and actually expect anyone
to believe them?
How is it this admitted metaphysical theory about
history, a religious idea and dogmatic belief system, is taught as science in
science classes?
Eminent philosopher of science, Michael Ruse spelled this
out even more clearly when he said, “Evolution is a religion. This was true of
evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today.”
If religion is not allowed to be taught in public
schools, and not allowed to be taught in science classes, then why is the
religion of evolution (in evolutionist Michael Ruse’s own words) being taught
in our science classes? Scientifically
inquiring minds want to know.
