The Dark Spell of Darwinism

Nevertheless, evolutionists use natural selection to pull the wool over
people's eyes, resorting to illusions to distort the facts. They credit natural
selection with a much greater effectiveness than it actually exhibits. They
believe that natural selection not only gets rid of
the weak, but also creates countless new living
species. It is accurate to say that evolution-
ists want to believe in this process be-
cause they've nothing else to rely on.
Darwinists' hopes and aspirations play
a major role here; they are described by
one of the best known evolutionist pa-
leontologists—the late Stephen Jay

Gould: Stephen Jay Gould.
The essence of Darwinism lies in a
single phrase: natural selection is the creative force of evolutionary change.
No one denies that selection will play a negative role in eliminating the unfit.
Darwinian theories require that it create the fit as well. 8
But Darwinists have been unable to prove their aspirations, because not
one single example has ever been observed of natural selection causing new
life forms to evolve. Colin Patterson, a noted English evolutionist and pale-
ontologist, admits as such:
No one has ever produced a species by mechanisms of natural selection. No one
has ever got near it and most of the current argument in neo-Darwinism is about
this question. 9
Surprisingly, even though Darwinists know that natural selection cannot
have any creative powers, they continue to believe it. (Just like the bewitched
man we described in our introduction, who believes he is getting wet on a
sunny day.) Modern evolutionists admit that a mechanism like natural selec-
tion removes only weak individuals; it cannot create a complex creature like
a human being with his superior qualities, capable of building entire civiliza-
tions. But interestingly, such admissions do not change what they believe. It
is plain to see that evolutionary theory is in crisis; they witness this for them-
