The Civic Platform has been launched to discuss and debate issues related to the West viewed as a cultural compound of Greco-Roman, Christian, and Germanic past. We firmly believe that race informs culture and is a necessary precondition for cultural identity and integrity. Hence, this political vehicle is dedicated to the preservation of the ethnic genetic interests (EGI) of people of European ancestry. Furthermore, since the West faces a demographic crisis of unprecedented proportions (for example, in 1950 Whites represented 30 percent of the world’s population. This number will plummet to 8 percent by 2050), we hold that the current trends threatening the racial, historical, and cultural identities of people of European ancestry must be stopped and reversed, if the West is to survive and endure as a distinct racial, historical, and cultural entity.

More than a decade ago, Stephen Jay Gould wrote of science and religion as “non-overlapping magisteria,” or “NOMA.”1 He saw no conflict between science and religion, because he saw no overlap between their respective domains of professional expertise. According to Gould, science deals with the “empirical constitution of the universe,” while religion encompasses the search for ethical values and spiritual meaning.

‘A fundamentally new approach to religion that differs from all other
explanations by defining religion not in terms of unidentifiable beliefs
in the supernatural, but by the identifiable behavior of communicating
acceptance of supernatural claims. This approach distinguishes different
forms of religious behavior, from the ancestor worship, totemism, and
shamanism of traditional societies, to the behavior of prophets that
started the world religions, by their different supernatural claims.
Communicating acceptance of any supernatural claim tends to promote
cooperative social relationships because it communicates a willingness
to accept unskeptically the influence of the speaker in a way similar to
a child’s acceptance of the influence of a parent. This is why the
clearest identifiable effect of religious behavior is the promotion of
cooperative family-like social relationships: parent/child- like
relationships between the individuals making and accepting the
supernatural claims and sibling-like relationships among coacceptors of
those claims. As religious behaviors, and the increased cooperation they
produce, are copied from one generation to the next, the number of
cooperating codescendants has tended to increase. Thus, religion can be
seen as a descendant-leaving strategy of our ancestors that has been
favored by natural selection and has become a human universal found in
all known cultures.’

In 1996 a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University named Michael Behe published Darwin’s Black Box1, in which he presented his concept of “irreducible complexity” (IC). Behe and his Intelligent Design (ID) colleagues claim that IC is strong evidence of “design” of biological systems, and ever since his book IC has acquired the status of one of the main pillars of the Intelligent Design platform.
