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

A Chinese paleontologist lectures around the world saying that recent fossil finds in his country are inconsistent with the Darwinian theory of evolution. His reason: The major animal groups appear abruptly in the rocks over a relatively short time, rather than evolving gradually from a common ancestor as Darwin's theory predicts. When this conclusion upsets American scientists, he wryly comments: "In China we can criticize Darwin but not the government. In America you can criticize the government but not Darwin."

A crush is just as simple as admiration. You get attracted to another person and time can allow feelings to grow more into something more than that.

If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.

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

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

Modernist discourse [...] incorporates semantic devices - such as the labeling of theism as 'religion' and naturalism as 'science' - that work to prevent a dangerous debate over fundamental assumptions from breaking out in the open.
