still continuing to do so. Given the enormous importance of this subject, it
will be of great benefit to summarize it here.

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 sepa-
rately, 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 expectations,
scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these difficulties. The defeat
of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under three basic top-
ics:
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:
