The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

Although a doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece, the theory of
evolution was advanced extensively in the 19th century. The most important
development that made the theory the top topic of the world of science was the
book by Charles Darwin titled "The Origin of Species" published in 1859. In this
book, Darwin denied that different living species on the earth were created
separately by God. According to Darwin, all living beings had a common
ancestor and they 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 of the Theory," the theory was
failing in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which he
expected to solve the "Difficulties of the Theory." However, contrary to his
expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these difficulties.

The defeat of Darwinism against science can be reviewed under three
basic topics:
1) The theory can by no
means explain how life originated
on the earth.
2) There is no scientific
finding showing that the
"evolutionary mechanisms"
proposed by the theory have any

power to evolve at all.
3) The fossil record proves
completely the contrary of the
suggestions of the theory of
evolution.
In this section, we will
examine these three basic points

in general outlines:
