                   Yet this propaganda cannot conceal the truth. The fact that the
              theory of evolution is the greatest deception in the history of science
              has been expressed more and more in the scientific world over the
              last 20-30 years. Research carried out after the 1980s in particular has
              revealed that the claims of Darwinism are totally unfounded, somet-
              hing that has been stated by a large number of scientists. In the Uni-
              ted States in particular, many scientists from such different fields as
              biology, biochemistry and paleontology recognize the invalidity of
              Darwinism and employ the fact of creation to account for the origin
              of life.
                   We have examined the collapse of the theory of evolution and
              the proofs of creation in great scientific detail in many of our works,
              and are still continuing to do so. Given the enormous importance of
              this subject, it will be of great benefit to summarize it here.

                          The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

                   Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece, the
                            theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the
                                nineteenth century. The most important develop-
                                  ment 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
                                    denied that God created different living spe-
                                    cies on Earth separately, for he 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 scientific finding; as he also accep-
                                    ted, it was just an "assumption." Moreover, as
              Charles Darwin
