摘要：

A new version of the age-old controversy between religion and science has been launched by today's intelligent design movement. Although ostensibly concerned simply with combating Darwinism, this new creationism seeks to drive a "wedge" into the materialist view of the world, originating with the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and manifested in modem times by Darwin, Marx, and Freud. Intelligent design proponents thus can be seen as challenging not only natural and physical science but social science as well. In this article, we attempt to explain the long history of this controversy, stretching over millennia, and to defend science (especially social science) against the criticisms of intelligent design proponents - by defending science's materialist roots.
