The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

As a pagan doctrine going back as far as
ancient Greece, the theory of evolution was ad-
vanced extensively in the nineteenth century.
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 opposed, in his
own eyes, the fact that Allah created different
living species on Earth separately, for he erro-
neously claimed that all living beings had a
common ancestor and had diversified over
time through small changes. Darwin's theory Charles Darwin
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 reviewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms" pro-
posed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory sug-
gests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general out-
lines:

The First Insurmountable Step: The Origin of Life
The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from a sin-
gle living cell that emerged on the primitive Earth 3.8 billion years ago. How
