             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 Species,
             published in 1859. In this book, he denied that Allah created different
             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
             expectations, 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.
               3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory
             suggests.
               In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general
             outlines:
