Challenges That Devastate Darwin
As a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient Egypt and Sumeria, the theory
of evolution came to the fore most extensively once more in the nineteenth century.
The most important development that made it the top topic of the world of science
was the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species in 1859. In this book,
Darwin in his own way opposes the fact that God created different living species on
Earth separately, for he erroneously claimed that all living beings had an imaginary
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 on Theory," the theory failed in the face of
many critical questions.
Darwin invested all his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which he expected
would solve these difficulties. He indicated this expectation again and again in his
book. However, contrary to his expectations, scientific findings expanded the
dimensions of these difficulties and refuted the basic assumptions of the theory one
by one.
The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under three
basic headings:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) There is no scientific finding that indicates 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:
