A doctrine can be called naturalistic if nature alone is the basis and standard for all phenomena. The naturalistic approach resulted primarily from the motivation to delimit from supernatural phenomena in the religious sense. The existence of miracles, supernatural beings, and spiritual insights is rejected. Evolution, primordial soup, and the big bang theory are of great significance for the naturalistic worldview. However, the naturalistic ideology must be questioned on the ground of some philosophical considerations. For example, in evolution theory, the term “chance” in the sense of aimlessness, purposelessness, and pointlessness is an imprecise allegation without any meaning.   Why are signs of teleology (purposefulness) and planning to be found everywhere in the universe? How can humans question the purpose of life? How can beauty with no apparent purpose and natural perfection be explained? These and other questions remain unanswered in the dogma of evolution theory. 65 Paradigm of evolution 66 Naturalistic world view 67 Dogma of Evolution Theory 68 Evolutionary psychology 69 Chance Processes 70 Causal evolutionary research 71 Homologous organs 72 Natural perfection 73 Teleology and orderliness 74 Purpose of Life 75 Unnecessary Beauty 65 Paradigm of evolution   Modern science conducts its research within the paradigm of evolution (macroevolutionary, primordial soup and big bang theory), the basic tenets of which cannot be proved. 66 Naturalistic world view   Since it is impossible to determine precisely the point at which natural phenomena stop and supernatural phenomena begin, it is not possible to explain the world on naturalistic termes only. 67 Dogma of Evolution Theory   The origin of the theory of evolution is of a philosophical nature (enlightenment, rationalism, naturalism) and a religious dogma with a scientific varnish. 68 Evolutionary psychology   Many of the conclusions of evolutionary psychology prove to be circular arguments, or are formulated in a very vague and undifferentiated way, so that they can be considered as merely plausible-sounding stories that can be neither confirmed nor denied. 69 Chance Processes   The rationale offered for macroevolution, with a combination of the factors accidental mutation and necessary selection, is without substance in the result due to the element of chance involved, i.e. it makes no logical assertions. 70 Causal evolutionary research   Causal evolutionary research cannot possibly explain an incalculable and unforeseeable development, which according to its own theory is based on pure accident. 71 Homologous organs   Similarities (homologous organs) do not proof a common descent, all they demonstrate is that the same basic principles have been applied in different organisms. 72 Natural perfection   The observation that, left to itself, nature knows no incomplete ecosystems, and that most organisms contribute to the welfare of the entire ecosystem, is incompatible with the notion of accidental development. 73 Teleology and orderliness   The proposition that all the innumerable cosmic and biological structures have arisen by chance contradicts the obviously teleological and planned character of the entire natural world. 74 Purpose of Life   The theory of evolution cannot answer the question as to the ultimate meaning of life. 75 Unnecessary Beauty   The purposeless beauty seen in nature cannot be explained by the naturalistic approach.
