United States in particular, many scientists from such different
fields as biology, biochemistry and paleontology recognize the inva-
lidity 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
Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece, the
theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the nineteenth cen-
tury. 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 be-

ings had a common ancestor and had diversified over time through
small changes. Darwin's theory was not based on any concrete sci-
entific 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 ex-
pected to solve these difficulties.
However, contrary to his expectations,
scientific findings expanded the dimen-
sions 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.
