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 cen-
tury. The most important development that made it the top topic of
the world of science was Charles Darwin's
The Origin of Species
, pub-
lished in 1859. In this book, he denied that God created different liv-
ing species 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 sci-
entific finding; as he also accepted, it was just an “assumption.”
Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the
long chapter of his book titled
“Difficulties of the Theory,” the theory
failed in the face of many critical ques-
tions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in
new scientific discoveries, which he ex-
pected to solve these difficulties.
However, contrary to his expectations,
scientific findings expanded the dimen-
sions 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 mecha-
nisms” proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theo-
ry suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in gen-
eral outlines:
