The monopoly of science in the realm of knowledge explains why evolutionary biologists do not find it meaningful to address the question whether the Darwinian theory is true.

In short, it is not that evolutionary naturalists have been less brazen than the scientific creationists in holding science hostage, but rather that they have been infinitely more effective in getting away with it.

All the most prominent Darwinists proclaim naturalistic philosophy when they think it safe to do so.

Darwinism is not merely a support for naturalistic philosophy: it is a product of naturalistic philosophy.

First, Darwinian theory tells us how a certain amount of diversity in life forms can develop once we have various types of complex living organisms already in existence.

Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.

In short, the proposition that God was in any way involved in our creation is effectively outlawed, and implicitly negated.
