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 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 Allah created different living species on Earth
separately, for he 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 expecta-
tions, 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 orig-
inated 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 op-
posite of what the theory suggests.
In this section, we will examine these
three basic points in general outlines:
