Même ceux qui ne sont pas d'accord avec le créationnisme constatent qu'il augmente en influence et qu'ici et là l'influence de l'évolution subit des remises en question. Les élites matérialistes qui ont régnés pendant le 20e siècle constatent (avec horreur) qu'ils doivent défendre l'honneur de leur théorie. C'est un peu le cauchemar pour eux, car à leur avis le 21e siècle devait être celui de la fin de la religion et au contraire on constate le phénomène inverse, c'est-à-dire ce qu'on appel "le retour de la religion"...

En Occident les vieilles idéologies matérialistes comme le nazisme ou le communisme sont discréditées. Hors de l'Occident, le christianisme et l'Islam augmentent en influence. Et aux États-Unis, pays très avancé sur le plan technologique, une grande proportion de la population rejette la théorie de l'Évolution.

Scandale !!

Voici un article en anglais repris dans le Wall Street Journal qui discute des déboires des élites matérialistes.

La vie est dure...

Creationism, U.S.-Inspired, Evolves Into a Global Cause

THE ECONOMIST -- APRIL 21-27

America's debate over creationism and evolution has gone global.

Until recently, the most fraught public arguments about the teaching of Darwin's ideas took place in the U.S. But in the past few years, the heated battles have cropped up in both secular and more religious countries, touching historically Christian and Muslim societies.

Some of the most fervent antievolution activity has flourished in Turkey, led by a controversial preacher named Adnan Oktar. Mr. Oktar, who writes under the name Harun Yahya, has developed a large following with the publication of his 770-page "Atlas of Creation." In recent weeks, the Economist reports, free copies of "Atlas de la Création" have been arriving in schools in French-speaking Europe.

In some cases, the expanding antievolution movement can be traced directly to U.S. activists, who increasingly seek to forge links overseas.

In Kenya, meanwhile, a bitter controversy has emerged over plans to display the most complete skeleton of a prehistoric human ever found, commonly referred to as Turkana Boy. An evangelical leader denounced the proposed exhibit, saying, "I did not evolve from Turkana Boy or anything like it." Paleontologist Richard Leakey, who unearthed the skeleton, has vowed to pursue the exhibition, and has the backing of local Catholics, the Economist says.

The anti-Darwin movement in the U.S. suffered a major setback in 2005, when a judge struck down a Pennsylvania school board's attempt to teach intelligent design -- the idea that some features of the natural world can be explained only by the intervention of an ingenious creator. But their efforts appear to be inspiring creationists elsewhere: Says a Pentecostal activist in Brazil: "We are convinced that the story of Genesis is right, and we take heart from the fact that in North America, the teaching of evolution in schools has been challenged."
