                 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.
