Neo-Darwinism attempts to prop up Darwin's theory by adapting
it to scientific advances, and combining it with the genetic inheritance
laws of the Austrian biologist Gregor Mendel. Also known as "the mod-
ern synthesis," neo-Darwinism actually makes Darwin's ignorance
clear for all to see. Darwin sought to account for the variety in species
through natural selection, but he was not aware that living things pass
on their characteristics to subsequent generations by way of genetic in-
heritance. This new version of the theory of evolution results from an
attempt to cover up that ignorance. But no matter how much neo-
Darwinists may attempt to modernize their theory, they have never
been able to succeed, since the theory is built on unsound foundations
from the outset. Like Darwin himself, neo-Darwinists maintain that the
variety in life came into being spontaneously, by chance. 222 In addition
to this flawed logic, they depicted mutations –random genetic chan-
ges– as the origin of life. Since the errors arising during the replication
of DNA were the smallest mutations possible, neo-Darwinists imag-
ined that they could base their theories on that. 223
But even the smallest replicaton error-a change in a single nucleo-
tide-gives rise to extremely serious consequences.
Neo-Darwinists said that small changes in genetic information
take place first in one site, then in another. 224 However, the biophysicist
Dr. Lee Spetner emphasizes that the theory is not true: "The NDT says
that large changes will eventually result. It's like becoming a million-
aire by saving enough pennies." 225
Prof. Marcel-Paul Schützenberger-a member of the French
Academy of Sciences and a mathematician, biologist and doctor of
medicine from Paris University-has refuted neo-Darwinism with math-
ematical proofs. In his book Mathematical Challenges in the Neo-
Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution, he reaches this conclusion:
