1.INTRODUCTION
There is a general feeling that Darwinism faces oppositionfrom monotheistic religions because of its ideological disparity andnot because of its scientific handicaps. This is not correct. Althoughit is true that monotheistic religions do lock horns with Darwinismfrom ideological viewpoint, the theory also suffers from seriousscientific drawbacks and inadequacies, which are continually beingexposed by the scientific community. Unfortunately theseexposures, no matter how grave they are, remain usuallyunpublicized. Even if a report comes in the media against the theory,it would be feeble without the usual lustre needed to draw theattention of the public. Scientists may also have the fear of beingmarginalized by writing against it. Yet it is heartening to see severalscientists are now coming out in the open to call a spade, spade.Evolutionary biology generates so much misleading information touphold Darwinism. Darwinism has the stamp of atheism and theunflinching support of orthodox evolutionists over a century and ahalf. In evolutionary literature, one does not find a single provenaspect of the theory despite evolutionists’ chanting “evolution is ascientific fact”. Unlike other scientific theories evolutionary theoryis vague and fluid. Consequently there are various shades of explanations. One wonders what purpose is served by theevolutionary literature with no clear answer to any of the questionsrelating to the origin of biodiversity. There is not just one explanationfor an observed phenomenon but there will be as manyexplanations as there are scientists who attempt to explain it. Evenafter a century and a half the theory remains as ambiguous as itwas in Darwin’s time. Yet it is not voted out by the scientificcommunity. It will never dawn upon the evolutionist lobby that theviews it nurtures and propagates about the origin of species are

wrong.“Life is complicated. It comes in all sorts of shapes, sizes,places, and combinations, and has evolved a dizzying variety of solutions to the problem of carrying on living. Yet look inside a celland life takes on, if not simplicity, then at least a certainuniformity…And looked at in broad swathes, life shows strikinggeneralities and patterns. Every mammal’s heart will beat aboutone billion times in its lifetime. Both within and between species,the density of a population declines in a regular way as the size of individuals increases. And the number of species in all environmentsdeclines as you move from the equator towards thepoles….Scientists have known for nearly two centuries that largeranimals have relatively slower metabolisms than small ones. Amouse must eat about half its body weight every day not to starve;a human gets by on only 2%... large animals have proportionatelyless surface area, lose heat more slowly, and, pound for pound,need less food…All the business of life needs energy….if youknow the rate at which an organism burns fuel – or if you knowhow big and hot it is, and apply the metabolic theory – you canmake a suite of predictions about its biology, such as how fast itwill grow and reproduce, and how long it will live.” [1]. Everyspecies that inhabits this planet originated according to preset rulesand design. None can violate them. One requires onlycommonsense and not the intelligence of a scientist to realize thata species like
 Homo sapiens
cannot evolve by chance.All organisms are information processors: they store abiological program and replicate it. All cellular functions areregulated through information transfer networks. They constitutecellular computation systems allowing cells to evaluate multipleinternal and external inputs in order to make appropriate decisions.A living cell is thus a highly sophisticated irreducibly complex organic

et al.,
millions of living species around us evolved on their own by chancethrough the unconscious purposeless natural selection!The anomalies of Darwin’s theory are many and varied. Itis strongly recommended to read his book 
The Origin of Species
[2] to have first hand information about his views and their basis.There is no hard science in that book requiring specializedknowledge for its understanding. The book is immensely readablebecause of the linguistic beauty, clarity of expression and honestyof the author. But you will not find science in it. One would find itimpossible to categorize it. It is not science, not fiction, not atravelogue or a biography. It is just Darwin’s thoughts and viewson how species originated.A dispassionate analysis is made of the theory of evolutionin three ways, first by reading Darwin’s book dusting for sciencein it, second by searching scientific literature for evidence of support, and third asking evolutionists to produce
unambiguous
proof of their claims. I do not assume evolution had taken placeor is taking place. Those who claim evolution had taken placemust offer solid evidence to prove it. It is in its absence this book assumes relevance. This book is an attempt to lay bare some of the facts against the theory before the general audience to enablethem to reflect and decide what Darwinism is – science or fantasy?It is up to them to pass the judgement.
