David Gelernter says that Darwinism is central to the modern worldview, that accepting it as settled truth is "an essential first step towards being taken seriously in any part of modern intellectual life." He speaks of what he knows, as a professor at one of America's most prestigious universities.
Now he has publicly revealed that he believes Darwin was wrong about the origin of species. In the Yale environment, he is attacking the religion of his friends and associates.
Though he likes his colleagues, when he looks at "their intellectual behavior, what they have published [and] what they tell their students — Darwinism has indeed passed beyond a scientific argument as far as they are concerned.
"You take your life in your hands to challenge it intellectually. They will destroy you if you challenge it.”
