It is becoming increasingly apparent that evolutionism is not even a good scientific theory. For example, evolutionists assert that life arose naturally from non-living matter and yet no evidence exists favoring "spontaneous generation." The creationist explanation at this point is simpler and also more adequate. Evolutionism is shown to be neither a theory nor an hypothesis but a dogma or doctrine. It does not legitimately fall under the heading of "natural science" but fits within the domain of philosophy because it is a materialistic postulate. On six accounts evolution theory is shown to fall short of what should be required in any truly "scientific" postulate or conception. Finally, although neither creationism nor evolutionism is strictly a "scientific" concept, creationism should be favored because it is more consistent with our knowledge and is at the same time rooted in the word of God.
