Early on, the Narrator states: “For atheists there appears to be no better weapon to derail belief in God than evolution.”

 

Atheist Prof. David Sloan Wilson (Dept of Biology and Anthropology, Binghamton University, New York) backs this up with the rhetorical question: “Do atheists need evolution?” which he then answers: “Yes! Yes! Yes! The very conception of God has been muscled off the scientific playing field.” There’s nothing new about this, of course; atheist William B. Provine has said: “Evolution is the greatest engine of atheism ever invented.”4

 

The Narrator continues: “Some members of the Christian community also believe that evolution is hostile to God and for that reason oppose it.” One of these is Andy McIntosh (Professor of Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory, University of Leeds, UK). He is author of Genesis for Today: the relevance of the Creation/Evolution debate to today’s society, which argues for the complete accuracy of Genesis and the Bible, and in which he says it is foolish even to try to attempt to marry evolutionary views with Genesis by theistic evolution.5 He has also written:

 

As a scientist, I see nothing to discount straightforward belief in Scripture, when considering the mechanisms in nature. … man’s prejudice against design in creation can only really be answered by a radical change of heart and by personally meeting the Author of all. … I believe that it is because humans do not want to be accountable to a Creator God that they persist with a theory that has little evidence to support it.6
