would actually know very few of the examples
mentioned above, or know them only superficially.
These myths they read about a few times or heard about
from their high-school teachers have convinced them of evolu-

tion, and they see no reason to investigate further.
However, every one of the supposed proofs above is com-
pletely invalid. This is no groundless claim, but a fact proven with
solid evidence by scientists critical of the theory of evolution—as
we'll explore in the following pages.
In his criticism of Darwinism, a well-known American biolo-
4
gist, Jonathan Wells, refers to the myths of evolution as "the icons of
evolution." By "icons," he means false and superstitious beliefs that
every supporter of evolution knows by heart. The word "icon" de-

scribes objects of veneration that some false religions use to remind
their members of what they regard as sacred. Some of the iconic
symbols used to support the theory of evolution (which is actually
an atheistic religion) for its devotees are drawings of the "ape man,"
5
"gills on a human embryo," and other such scientific fabrications.
But each one of these depicts a groundless myth. Wells' book, Icons of
Evolution: Science or Myth? Why Much of What We Teach About
Evolution Is Wrong?, lists ten icons that correspond to the list we have
given here and explains in detail why all have been rendered in-
valid.
Today these myths are all discredited, and evolutionists have

proposed no new proofs to replace them. As a theory,
Darwinism convinced some people in the 19th century,
when scientific conditions were unsophisticated. But
in the 21st century, Darwinism has been revealed
as defunct, outmoded and invalid.
