enormous importance of this sub-

summarize it here.
The Scientific Collapse
of Darwinism
Although this doctrine goes
back as far as ancient Greece, the
theory of evolution was advanced
extensively in the nineteenth cen-
tury. The most important develop-
ment that made it the top topic of
the world of science was Charles
Darwin's The Origin of Species,
published in 1859. In this book, he
denied that God created different Charles Darwin
living species on Earth separately,
for he claimed that all living beings had a common ancestor and had
diversified over time through small changes. Darwin's theory was not
based on any concrete scientific finding; as he also accepted, it was just
an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of
his book titled "Difficulties of the Theory," the theory failed in the face of
many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which
he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his expecta-
tions, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these difficulties.
The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under
three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms"
proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
