Darwin’s mechanism of variation and selection is driven by microevolution, minor changes within existing species. The development of life was caused by an undirected process based on random genetic mistakes. Darwin thought that living cells were blobs of...
Darwinism, for160 years, has been unsuccessful in showing how complex biological adaptations evolved. No clear step-by-step pathways between different structures performing different functions have ever been found. No paths have been found; this means no validation of...
