The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece,
the theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the nine-
teenth 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 ac-
cepted, it was just an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin con-
fessed 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 discover-
ies, which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, con-
trary 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 mecha-
nisms" 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
