From the Paper:

"This fact is now accepted by most scientists and natural philosophers, namely that" an ongoing process of organic evolution (is) an established aspect of material reality." (Birx, p. 241) And, still there are those who think it is only one theory, not any better or worse than the Theory of Creationism. These religious conservatives and zealots, who cling to the Bible as an anchor in a world of If's, feel that there is no more solid proof that Man descended from lower organisms than there is that Man was created in the image of God."
