Charles Darwin admitted that the available fossil evidence didn't support his theory of "survival of the fittest," better known as evolution. But he expected that plenty of evidence would be found in the coming years. Now, more than a century and a half later, the evidence still fails to support this theory__showing people accept Darwinian evolution more as an article of faith rather than of fact.
# 1 > In 1859 Charles Darwin rocked the scientific__and religious__worlds with his book On the Origin of Species. It wasn't long before the scientific communities on both sides of the Atlantic accepted the notion that life evolved over "million on millions of years," as Darwin put it in his book, after arising spontaneously from some warm little pond," as he described it in a letter to a friend. Darwin found himself enshrined as one of the greatest scientific thinkers of all time, on a par with Galileo and Newton. But not all who then read Darwin's book were convinced of his theory. Other scientists and geologists noted inconsistencies, unexplained creatures appearing at the wrong times in the fossil record, and other holes in the theory__some of which Darwin himself acknowledged. Fast forward 150 years to today, and most of the scientific world still accepts the theory of evolution as fact in spite of growing evidence to the contrary. And a world that does not want God who can tell them what to do wants instead a theory that explains a creation without a Creator.
