Arguably, Charles Darwin advanced the cause of atheism more than anyone in history. Ironically, even as the world celebrates the “Year of Darwin”, science is debunking every aspect of Darwin’s hypothesis.

Darwin used creative speculation and unbounded extrapolation in place of scientific method. Darwin’s approach was the antithesis of good science.

Darwin was profoundly wrong about the origin of the Santa Cruz River Valley and the geologic record in general. His speculations of slow and gradual biological change were based on the false idea of slow and gradual geologic change.

In Origin, Darwin admitted that the fossil evidence contradicted his theory, but he hoped future discoveries would come to his rescue. Now, 150 years later, the problem of missing intermediates is even more glaring.

Darwin based his evolutionary theory on the naive belief that life is fundamentally simple. Since Darwin’s day, science has revealed life to be so staggeringly complex as to render Darwin’s speculations clearly untenable.

Presented by John Sanford, Ph.D. in Plant Breeding and Plant Genetics

Darwin proposed that heritable variation and natural selection account for all biological complexity. But he knew nothing of genetics, of mutations, or, most crucially, of the extreme limitations of natural selection.

DNA studies are not supporting well-defined lineages among major groups of organisms as Darwin imagined when he sketched his tree of life. The confused and scrambled genomic patterns instead imply a tangled bush. In other words, genetic evidence for common ancestry is missing!

Presented by Dr. Charles Ware, President, Crossroads Bible College

Darwin regarded races other than his own as inferior and destined for extinction. But DNA studies reveal genetic differences between major people groups are only superficial, smaller than variations within these groups. Genetically, we are one race: the human race.

Presented by Robert Carter, Ph.D. in Marine Biology

Darwin speculated that humans descended from ape-like ancestors. Modern genetic evidence, however, points to a “Mitochondrial Eve” and “Y-Chromosome Adam” living only thousands of years ago, and a very recent divergence of the world’s major people groups out of the Middle East.

Darwin rejected the God of the Bible in favor of his own speculations. Deceived by Darwin, countless believers have been weakened in their faith, and multitudes of others have been ushered into atheism’s darkness. Let us turn from Darwin’s delusions, believe God’s Word from the very first verse, and honor Jesus Christ, our Redeemer who is faithful and true.
