THE CONCEPT OF BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION — Questions on Evolution

of those living in hotter regions. The actual subject of discussion in relation to the theory of evolution does not pertain to the changes in the external colour of the body, but rather to the change in species. That is why the example of the moth does not prove the principle of any change in species. Evolution being a gradual, continuous process, innumerable intermediate species should have lived during the periods between these transformations. Evolutionists refer to these creatures which they believe lived in the past as intermediates or ‘transitional forms’. If such animals had really existed, there would be billions and their remains should necessarily show up in the fossil record. Just as man is dependent on God for his existence, so is he totally dependent on God for his survival. Even Darwin accepted this fact and asserted that when the fossil record had been studied in detail the missing links would be found. But despite more than two hundred years of fossil collection and studies, the fossil record still does not yield the picture of infinitely numerous transitional links that are expected. It has become abundantly clear that the fossil record has not and will not confirm Darwin’s prediction. The truth is that the concept of biological evolution was an unscientific concept in 1859 when Charles Darwin’s book was first published and today also it is equally unscientific. It is claimed that the theory of biological evolution has gained general acceptance among the educated and elite in modern times. But as events unfold the popularity of this concept is not due to the fact that it has been scientifically proved. Its cause certainly is traceable to the attempt at explaining life without the introduction of God. Such people believe that they have found a workable theory in the form of the theory of evolution. Yet no real academic basis exists for the theory of evolution. The Theory of Evolution and Religion In the initial phase of the theory of evolution, the Christian Church had turned hostile to it but now probably due to the pressure of circumstance, the Christian Church has accepted its authenticity.
