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 nine-
teenth 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 ex-
pected 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 assump-
tions of the theory one by one.
The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under
three basic headings: ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA)
