The Deception of Evolution
We have examined the collapse of the theory of evolution and the
p roofs of creation in great scientific detail in many of our works, and are
still continuing to do so. Given the enormous importance of this subject,
it will be of great benefit to 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 century. The
most important development that made it the top topic of the world of
science was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Speciespublished in 1859. In
,
this book, he denied that Allah created diff e rent living species on Earth
s e p a r a t e l y, 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." More o v e r, as Darwin confessed in the long
chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on 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 diff i c u l t i e s .
The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under
t h ree basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms"
p roposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil re c o rd proves the exact opposite of what the theory sug-
g e s t s .
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general
