nisms and structures such as
proteins, enzymes, and cells,
which are manufactured with
them.
Charles Darwin
This extraordinary de-
sign in life invalidated Dar-
winism at the end of the 20 th century.
We have dealt with this subject in great detail in some of our other
studies, and shall continue to do so. However, we think that, considering its
importance, it will be helpful to make a short summary here as well.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
Although a doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece, the theory
of evolution was advanced extensively in the 19 th century. The most im-
portant development that made the theory the top topic of the world of
