The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
Although this doctrine goes back as far as an-
cient Greece, the theory of evolution was ad-
vanced 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 sepa-
rately, for he claimed that all living be-
ings 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 Charles Darwin
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 re-
viewed 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:
