no he was not ;he is an athiest and hates the idea that DNA could be from an intelligent Creator God.Crick reasoned that life could not have evolved from non-living chemicals under any conceivable earth conditions. But the idea of a creator was unacceptable, since it would go against his atheistic views . So instead he believes in a theory (if you can call it that) called ' panspermia'.Crick wrote , in 'Life Itself', that some form of primordial life was shipped to the earth billions of years ago in spaceships by supposedly aliens .That "theory" of course does not pass any scientific test that I know of so is it really a theory or another article of FAITH ?
