Striving to gather evidence for evolution, evolutionists have unwitting-
ly proven by their own hands that evolution cannot have happened at all!
The person who originally put forward the theory of evolution, essen-
tially in the form that it is defended today, was an amateur English biolo-
gist by the name of Charles Robert Darwin. Darwin first published his ideas
in a book entitled The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in
1859. Darwin claimed in his book that all living beings had a common
ancestor and that they evolved from one another by means of natural
selection. Those that best adapted to the habitat transferred their traits to
subsequent generations, and by accumulating over great epochs, these
advantageous qualities transformed individuals into totally different species
from their ancestors. The human being was thus the most developed prod-
uct of the mechanism of natural selection. In short, the origin of one
species was another species.
Darwin's fanciful ideas were seized upon and promoted by certain ide-
ological and political circles and the theory became very popular. The main
reason was that the level of knowledge of those days was not yet sufficient
to reveal that Darwin's imaginary scenarios were false. When Darwin put
forward his assumptions, the disciplines of genetics, microbiology, and
biochemistry did not yet exist. If they had, Darwin might easily have recog-

nised that his theory was totally unscientific and thus would not have
attempted to advance such meaningless claims: the information determin-
ing species already exists in the genes and it is impossible for natural selec-
tion to produce new species by altering genes.
While the echoes of Darwin's book reverberated, an Austrian botanist
by the name of Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance in 1865.
Although little known before the end of the century, Mendel's discovery
gained great importance in the early 1900s with the birth of the science of
genetics. Some time later, the structures of genes and chromosomes were
discovered. The discovery, in the 1950s, of the DNA molecule, which
incorporates genetic information, threw the theory of evolution into a great
