Evolution was a creed so pervasive and so deeply held that even to appear to question it was to invite attack. For example, in a vitriolic article the Marxist geneticist J.B.S. Haldane accused Lewis of getting his science wrong and of traducing scientists in his works of science fiction.12 It is probably because evolution formed the basis of theories of philosophical naturalism like Haldane's, which had become the dominant secular world view, that Lewis agreed with Acworth in regarding it "as the central and radical lie in the whole web of falsehood that now governs our lives."

Exactly.

Ann Coulter made the same general observation and was excoriated by the FReeper Darwinist priesthood.

This is nother observation she made which was the same as Lewis'- just using different words:

"I believe that Christianity can still be believed, even if Evolution is true." ~ C. S. Lewis

"No science is ever frightening to Christians. Religious people don't need the science to come out any particular way on IQ or AIDS or sex differences any more than they need the science to come out any particular way on evolution...If evolution is true, then God created evolution."

~ Ann Coulter -- P.277 Godless
