THE MIRACLE OF MIGRATION IN ANIMALS


                     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 God created different liv-
                 ing species on Earth separately, for he claimed that all living beings
                 had a 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 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 re-
                 viewed under three basic topics:
                                                 1) The theory cannot explain
                                             how life originated on Earth.
                                                 2) No scientific finding shows
                                             that 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
                  Charles Darwin             outlines:
