Evolution is a fairy tale for self-righteous people who like to justify their sins. It wasn't anything different in 400 B.C. when the Greeks swore by it, and it isn't any different now. It is not a scientific theory. It is not even a rational theory. Its main characteristic is that it incapacitates its devotee from finding out anything about reality.
Scientific progress is impossible where evolution is believed or espoused.
It is the mark of the irrational, non-intellectual daydreamer. All modern biochemistry proves he was correct. Evolution is non-scientific ecclesiasticism. It is faith without works.
