        the proofs of creation in great scientific detail in many of our works,

        this subject, it will be of great benefit to summarize it here.


             The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
             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 Allah created different
        living species on Earth separately, for he claimed that all living be-
        ings had a common ancestor and had diversified over time through
        small changes. Darwin's theory was not based on any concrete sci-
        entific 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 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 reviewed 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.
             3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory
        suggests.
             In this section, we will examine these three basic points in gen-
        eral outlines:
