welcomed by those inclined to accept them for philosophi-
cal reasons. There was a clear affinity between Darwin's
theory and materialist philosophy. Darwin tried to

explain the origins of all living things in terms of
chance and material factors, and therefore his
theory rejected the existence of a Creator. It
would take a series of discoveries made in the
20th century to show his theory to be wrong,

completely irrational and illogical.
In a few scientific circles, Darwinism is
still a widespread obsession, but this does

not preclude the knowledge that its days
have come to an end. All the scientific suppo-
sitions that once supported the theory have
crumbled, one by one. The only reason why
Darwinism is still alive is because in some scien-

tific circles, a few fanatics still passionately espouse
the materialist philosophy it's based on. The world of
Darwinism resembles the Soviet Union in the second half

of the 1980s, when the Communist ideology had collapsed and In late 1600s, scientists proposed that fire

poused it blindly. Because of their dogmatism, the Communist

system that for all practical purposes had collapsed was kept alive for a while longer. It was hoped that
policies such as Glasnost and Perestroika could reform and revive it. Yet the inevitable collapse eventu-
ally took place.

Long before this collapse, however, some perceived that communism was basically exhausted. Many
Western observers wrote that the Soviet establishment could do no more than slow down the inevitable
collapse for a little while.
In this book, we describe how Darwinism, too, has long been defunct from the scientific point of
view. It convinced some individuals for a while, but it finally became clear that it never had any real sci-

entific foundation. The claims used in support of Darwinism over the past 150 years have all been ren-
dered invalid. All the alleged "proofs" of evolution have been refuted, one by one. Soon, all those in the
scientific community who are laboring under the delusion of such a theory will realize the truth and be
astonished at how they could have been taken in. As the Swedish scientist Søren Løvtrup said, "I believe

that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science." For this realization
to come about, all the necessary scientific data are there. All that remains is for some scientific circles to
accept the fact.
In the following pages, we'll examine some scientific data that have invalidated the theory of evolu-

tion; and show that this great error was based on the inadequate level of 19th-century science.
