The Deception of Evolution

Thus the intellectual struggle

against communism must be aimed at
materialist philosophy and, therefore,
the theory of evolution. It is also clear
that the wide acceptance of the theory
of evolution in society will further
nourish materialism as well as com-
munism.

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 development that made it the top topic of
the world of science was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, pub-
lished in 1859. In this book, he denied that God created different liv-
ing 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 re-
viewed 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.
