Games some people play: The supreme rule of this game is to stifle arguments against evolution-any way you can
Morris, H. 2001.  Creation 23(4):35. CELD ID 8724

Abstract
A leading evolutionary scientist has made a revealing admission. Richard Dickerson, an authority in chemical evolution and a professing theist, has said: 'Science, fundamentally, is a game. It is a game with one overriding and defining rule. Rule No. 1: Let us see how far and to what extent we can explain the behaviour of the physical and material universe in terms of purely physical and material causes, without invoking the supernatural.' Thus, evolutionary 'science' is not necessarily a search for truth, as we used to be told, but a game in which scientists try to find naturalistic causes, even for the origin of the universe and all in it.
