Who named him the explainer of all reality? These are old ideas, wishes really.
From a review of the book Against All Gods:
“Darwinism may refer either to a specific theory of biology or to an episteme, a way of thinking about things in general,” (page 49) When teaching the theory of evolution, the student must first adopt the `correct’ worldview, which is to say, a purely naturalistic worldview. (page 50) Otherwise, the evidence for the theory will not be persuasive. The student must first be indoctrinated in the belief that science is the supreme and only arbiter of what is true and that the first great commandment of science is that the world is devoid of an Intelligent Creator, but rather is composed “only of material causes that act on each other according to physical laws or chance.” (page 50) Scientific knowledge of the universe is incomplete but metaphysical certainty about the absence of a Designer is absolute. According to Darwinism, only when the student has fully converted to the naturalistic paradigm can she begin to learn about the world. (page 50)"
That’s all this boils down to. A tool that may be used for indoctrination.
