INTRODUCTION
ome 150 years ago, the British naturalist Charles
Darwin proposed a theory based on various
S observations made during his travels, but which
could not be supported by any subsequent scientific
findings. In essence, his theory of evolution consisted of
various scenarios, assumptions and conjectures that
Darwin dreamed up in his own imagination.
According to his evolution scenario, inanimate
substances came together by chance to give rise to the first
living cell. No doubt this claim was highly inaccurate, and
one that could not be corroborated by any scientific evidence
or findings. Again according
to that myth, this single-celled
life form gradually—and again by Charles Darwin
chance—turned into the first living
species of microbe—in other words, it evolved. According to the
evolution error, all the life forms on Earth, from bacteria on up to
human beings, emerged as the result of this same imaginary process.
Darwin's claims were of course based on no scientific evidence or
findings. But since the scientific understanding and technological
means available at the time were at a fairly primitive level, the full
extent of the ridiculous and unrealistic nature of his assertions did not
emerge fully into the light of day. In such a climate, Darwin's scenarios

of that era. The foundation of Darwin's
theory of evolution was
materialism. Therefore, it didn't take long for his theory to
be adopted by materialists. Since materialist circles
denied the fact of creation, they blindly grasped at the
theory of evolution, and even declared that it was
supposedly the scientific basis of their own world views.
By carrying out a great deal of research and
One of the major findings that invalidates the theory of
evolution is the fossil records, which reveal that the
structures of living species remained unchanged for tens
of millions of years. Pictured is an insect living in our day
and its 50-million-year-old fossil. This species, which
remains the same after 50 million years, refutes evolution.
