November 13-14, 2009
Darwin Was Wrong Conference

2009 is the year of Darwin, marking the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of his book, Origin of Species. While much of the world is now paying homage to this man, it is timely to review how profoundly wrong Darwin was on virtually every major topic he addressed. While Darwin was right about the ability of populations to adapt in a limited way to changed environmental conditions, he was profoundly wrong on key scientific issues including: the very nature of science itself; the geological time scale; the incompleteness of the fossil record; the complexity of life; the limits of natural selection; the tree of life; race; and the origin of human beings. More importantly, Darwin was wrong about the disastrous social and moral consequences of his ideas. Lastly, but most importantly, Darwin was wrong about God.

So What, If Darwin Was Wrong?

John Baumgardner, Ph.D. in Geophysics

 

   

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 Was Wrong about Science

E. Thomas McMullen, Ph.D. in History and Philosophy of Science

 

   

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

Darwin Was Wrong about Geology

Steve Austin, Ph.D. in Geology

 

   

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.

Darwin Was Wrong about the Fossil Record

Marcus Ross, Ph.D. in Paleontology

 

   

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 Was Wrong about the Complexity of Life

Robert Carter, Ph.D. in Marine Biology

 

 

   

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.

Darwin Was Wrong about Natural Selection

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.

Darwin Was Wrong about the Tree of Life

Jerry Bergman, Ph.D. in Human Biology

 

   

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!

Darwin Was Wrong about Race

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 Ð the human race.

Darwin Was Wrong about the Origin of Man

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 Was Wrong about God

Pastor Chuck Smith, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa

 

   

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.
