s stated in our introduction, the theory of evolution has now
been discredited in scientific circles. Since this theory first
A A appeared, a large number of scientific findings have
invalidated its claims one by one. The development of the electron
microscope, new knowledge of genetic laws, the discovery of the
structure of DNA, the revelation of the complexity of every living
organism, and other modern advances have defeated Darwinism and
will continue to oppose it. In other books by this author, you can read
about the collapse of Darwinism in light of scientific facts and about
the scientific proofs that have invalidated the theory of evolution. 1
But despite the fact that science is developing so quickly and is
continually introducing something new into our lives, certain
scientists of an unenlightened, bigoted and conservative mind
continue to defend theories developed in the 19th century, theories
originally elaborated within a primitive scientific understanding,
whose naiveté and superficiality would make a child laugh.
So what explains the fact that Darwinism is still so popular in
some scientific circles? There is not even one concrete scientific proof
in place; on the contrary, it is clearly evident that every living thing
has been created according to a flawless design and that nothing has
come into existence by chance, as the theory of evolution claims. How
can it be, then, that many people, nonetheless, continue to be strong
advocates of this theory?
The reason is this: the theory is more an expression of a certain
mentality and belief than a scientific formulation. It is a mentality that
does not view evolution as a mere theory whose validity can be
investigated by scientific method, but sees it as a belief that must be
vindicated at all costs. Because their faith cannot be substantiated by
scientific facts, people with this mentality have a dogmatic bond with
their theory which cannot in the least be influenced by the scientific
proofs that refute it. No matter how cogent the evidence against
evolution, evolutionists continue to ignore it and vigorously defend
their faith.
