Modern Evolutionists Are More Rigid Than Darwin

The dogmatic stance of modern evolutionists is even more rigid
than that of Darwin himself. When Darwin proposed this theory, he
left room for the possibility that he could have made a mistake. In his

book The Origin of Species, he often began his expositions with the
words, "If my theory be true." In his investigations it can be seen that
Darwin accepted certain scientific criteria and proposed some ways
his theory could be examined. For example, he wrote about the fossil
record:
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking
most closely all of the species of the same group together must
assuredly have existed... Consequently, evidence of their former
existence could be found only amongst fossil remains. 10
The numberless intermediate varieties mentioned by Darwin
have never been found, and today many evolutionist paleontologists
have had to concede this. When taking into account Darwin's
condition for "if my theory be true," his theory must be rejected. If he
were alive today, perhaps Darwin would have abandoned his theory
for this very reason.
But modern evolutionists display extraordinary indifference and
bigotry regarding this matter. In one of Turkey's most prominent
evolutionist magazines, Bilim ve Utopya (Science and Utopia), an
article appeared by Dr. Umit Sayin, who is recognized as the nation's
leading expert on evolution. With regard to the intermediate forms
about which Darwin said, "If my theory be true... evidence of their
former existence could be found only amongst fossil remains," Dr.
Sayin writes:

The fact that Archaeopteryx was a flying dinosaur has little
importance with regard to the correctness or validity of the theory
of evolution. Even if no transitional fossil were found, the theory
of evolution would not be affected... suppose that we have found
no fossil yet; this shows that all intermediate forms have been lost
and dispersed in nature. Let's say that every fossil is a hoax! Even
