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 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 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:

The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from a
single living cell that emerged on the primitive Earth 3.8 billion years
