"Nature is all there is".

An excerpt from Phillip E. Johnson's Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds, page 15, tells that modern science is deeply-founded on naturalism, a doctrine which tells "nature is all there is". In Johson's purpose, naturalism can be used interchangeably with materialism--which means matter, that is to say, all the fundamental particles that make up both matter and energy, is all there is. Evolutionary naturalists insist that nature is made up of those fundamental particles. Hence, the Big Bang Theory is probably held plausible and vice versa. This doctrine further implicates that the evolutionary mechanism or evolution itself is working through a mechanism which is in random.

Modern science educators insist that "evolution" is a purposeless, unguided, mindless and random process. Evolution is mindless and godless. It appears to be true that evolutionary scientists pose no claims that God does not exist for in the first place they have no business to deal with such claim. They are naturalists! A creator is unnecessary. It seems to them that all the processes and mechanisms involved in the "creation" of the immense diversity of living organisms we now observe require no guide, no purpose, no previous intelligent design. All they require is just a random process through mutations and natural selection. If nature is all there is, then nature must have had the ability to do its own creating.
