The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
As a pagan doctrine going 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 opposed, in his own
eyes, the fact that Allah created different living species on Earth
separately, for he erroneously 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 scien-
tific 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 discover-
ies, which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, con-
trary to his expectations, scientific findings expanded the di-
mensions of these difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the
face of science can be reviewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mech-
anisms" 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:
