From the article:
“Once I got it into my thick skull
that Darwinism is just one more humanistic philosophy
from the Enlightenment,
designed to write God out of everything,
the battle was over.”
From the article:
“Once it was pointed out to me
that it meant the existence of evil and death
before Adam and Eve,
and was therefore biblically impossible,
I felt quite stupid.”
Sorry but this scientist is no historian and obviously very confused in his old age.
The Enlightenment, from which we get both our Founding Fathers and natural-science, was never "designed to write God out of everything", but rather to learn more about how God operates.
"Darwinism", so called, like natural science itself, begins with the methodological assumption of natural explanations for natural processes.
It does not "write God out of everything", merely leaves the study of God to theologians, philosophers & saints, etc.
From the time of our Enlightenment Founders on, the function of science has been to find natural observations & explanations only.
That's what so called Darwinism is & does.
