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
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 denied that Allah cre-
ated different living 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 chap-
ter of his book titled "Difficulties of the 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 the-
ory suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in gen-
eral outlines:
