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 God created
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 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 evolu-
tionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the
exact opposite of what the theory
suggests.
