This theory does show us a goat and a giraffe, but it does not prove any intermediate steps like fossils, etc., that can prove the supposed journey of the transformation of a goat into a giraffe. Advocates of the theory of evolution refer to those so-called intermediate steps between species as ‘missing links.’ But these so-called ‘missing links’ are only speculative links. They have no real existence at all. One reason for the popularity of Darwin’s theory might be that it might have appeared to secular scholars as a workable theory. But no theory can be proved in this way through mere speculation. To make a theory a proven one, there must be known realities that verify it, but no such facts are available to support Darwinism. For example, according to Darwinism, for biological evolution to occur, a very long period is required. However, according to scientific discoveries, compared to this supposed required period, the age of the Earth is minimal. Given this, if, for the sake of argument, the drama of the evolution of life did indeed happen in line with the Darwinian hypothesis, it could not have occurred on planet Earth. After scientific discoveries highlighted the relatively limited age of the Earth, which seriously questioned the Darwinian hypothesis, advocates of evolution began saying that life might have started somewhere else, on some other planet, and that it then might have travelled from there and arrived on Earth. They gave this fanciful theory the name of
