entists from such different fields as biology, biochemistry and
paleontology recognize the invalidity of Darwinism and employ
the fact of Creation to account for the origin of life.
We have examined the collapse of the theory of evolution
and the proofs of Creation in great scientific detail in many of
our works, and are still continuing to do so. Given the enormous
importance of this subject, it will be of great benefit to summa-
rize it here.

THE SCIENTIFIC COLLAPSE
OF DARWINISM
As a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece, the
theory of evolution was advanced 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, published in 1859. In this book, he opposed, in his own
eyes, the fact that Allah created different living species on Earth
separately, for he erroneously 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 scien-
tific 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 sci-
ence can be reviewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
