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 summarize it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism Char les Dar win
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
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"
proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory
suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general
outlines:
