Abstract

Everyone believes that for every contingent being or event, i.e., one which might have been otherwise, there must be a cause. Philosophers have sometimes called this the principle of sufficient reason, or universal causality. The world around us is clearly contingent, hence one may look for a cause for it. Creationists see God as the Cause; and many natural theologians, such as Paley, have considered this fact so certain that they have gone on to deduce things about God's nature from the Creation. The evolutionary dogma, on the other hand, is really a denial of any sufficient reason. It is pointed out also that many, not only among the people in general, but also among students and faculty at universities, are disillusioned with evolution. The opportunity for Creationism is apparent.
