ploy 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

Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece, the the-
ory 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 spe-
cies on Earth separately, for he claimed that all living beings had a
common ancestor and had diversified over time through small chan-

ges. 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 difficul-
ties. However, contrary to his expecta-

tions, scientific findings expanded the di-
mensions 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. Charles Darwin
