Assumes life derives from material causes only
Mainstream science offers a view of the origins of life that is not scientifically objective because it assumes—rather than demonstrating empirically—that  life derives from material causes only.
"The current origins story favored by “mainstream science” is not scientifically objective because it uses a subtle and generally unstated materialistic bias that is absolute. We must assume life derives only from material causes. Although students are led to believe the story is an empirically tested scientific conclusion, it actually is an interpretation of facts that fit a preconceived materialistic assumption that is not religiously neutral. This model skews public education to favor the non theist over the traditional theist."

John Calvert, managing director of Intelligent Design Network.
