    This seems to say that the falsification of "evolutionary theory" would be
    a vindication of the "Biblical worldview." On face value this statement
    suggests that evolution and a "biblical worldview" are in neccessary
    conflict with each other. This position is consistent with Phil's efforts
    to discredit not just philosophical materialism, but evolutionary science.
