              powerful muscles because of his work, his sons would have
              equally strong muscles. In that primitive scientific climate, Darwin
              developed his theory. Neither Darwin nor any who supported him
              was able to submit evidence for the theory of evolution from such
              branches of science as paleontology, biology or anatomy. Moreover,

              observations and experiments performed in the following years,
              and especially new findings obtained in the 20th century, revealed
              that the theory was clearly wrong. But despite the theory's scien-
