Evolution
Scientists Who Reject the Theory of Evolution :
Many scientists have opposed evolution, responding that it is a false theory without evidence. Among them are:
1-David Berlinski, a mathematician, molecular biologist, and philosopher, is one of the most famous critics of evolution. He sees it as something promoted among people under the name of science and fact, while in reality, his doubts about it only grew as science advanced. He publicly declared this skepticism in Commentary magazine in 1996 in an article titled The Deniable Darwin. In recent years, he published his famous book The Devil's Delusion (2008), and his interviews are filled with remarks about how real scientists mock evolution. They also contain biting scientific sarcasm directed at the imaginary assumptions of evolution and its fatal weaknesses.
Likewise, Michael Denton, a biochemist, once believed in evolution, but as he discovered dozens of fatal flaws with the progress of molecular biology, he authored his famous book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985). This was one of the first books in the modern era to turn the theory of evolution upside down. He also contributed to many scientific documentaries about the exquisite precision and signs of intelligent design in life, Earth, and the universe, all the way to humankind. His work Nature's Destiny (1998) was later translated as well.
2-Michael Behe, a biochemist and professor at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, also began doubting evolution as his scientific specialization deepened and new discoveries emerged—especially after reading Denton's Evolution: A Theory in Crisis. He found that all the points Denton raised indeed refuted random, chance-based evolution. Behe then authored his famous book Darwin's Black Box (1996). He became one of the most prominent founders of the academic framework of Intelligent Design, particularly through his concept of irreducible complexity, which he argued demonstrates the impossibility of gradual, random evolution over time and instead points toward teleology in the sudden appearance of complex organs by some designer.
3-William Dembski, an American mathematician and philosopher, is also a strong opponent of Darwin's theory of natural selection. Dembski argues that the details of living organisms can be described in similar terms, particularly molecular sequence patterns in functional biological molecules such as DNA. His discussion of specified complexity has been highly controversial in the scientific community. Supporters of Intelligent Design consider it a legitimate research program investigating the effects of an intelligent cause—studying its effects but not the cause itself. Accordingly, since the identity of causes outside a closed system cannot be tested from within it, questions regarding the identity of the designer fall outside the concept's boundaries. He co-authored The Design of Life with Jonathan Wells, a book considered one of the strongest scientific critiques of evolutionary theory.
4-Jonathan Wells, an American molecular biologist, studied molecular biology and, with the advent of discoveries pointing to teleology and creation, abandoned atheism for Christianity and became an enemy of evolutionary theory. He authored the famous book Icons of Evolution (2002), as well as The Design of Life with Dembski.
5-Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini—the former a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at Rutgers University, the latter a professor of philosophy and cognitive science at the University of Arizona—also raised doubts. Fodor first began questioning natural selection in his book Why Pigs Don't Have Wings (2007), then co-authored the shocking book What Darwin Got Wrong (2010). In its introduction, they stressed that their critique was scientific, not religious: "This is not a book about God, or about Intelligent Design, or about creationism. Neither of us is involved in any of that. We simply believe it is wise to state this upfront, because our basic view is that there is something wrong—perhaps fatally wrong—with the theory of natural selection."
Phillip Johnson, a legal scholar, was once an evolutionist. But after reading Denton's Evolution: A Theory in Crisis and continuing to study the latest scientific findings, he became fully convinced of evolution's errors, which he saw as mere fabrications and imaginative speculations unsupported by reason or experimental science. He went on to become one of the most famous critics of evolution in the U.S., authoring several books such as Darwin on Trial, Defeating Darwinism, and The Wedge of Truth.
6-Duane T. Gish, a biochemist, also participated in many university lectures and international conferences to scientifically and respectfully rebut the theory of evolution. He published numerous studies showing its flaws, and collected many of his lectures in his book Have You Been Brainwashed?, as well as Evolution: The Fossils Still Say No!
Some claim that evolution is collapsing as science advances, and that its errors have become far more evident in recent years than before. Thousands of specialists now reject it. This has led to research and scientific books exposing its invalidity, showing that Darwin was wrong about the "tree of life." Many scientists now assert that the evolutionary tree is false and misleading. Public objections took their first major step with the Discovery Institute's 2001 list of 100 scientists and specialists in America who rejected Darwinism, where they stated their names and academic credentials. The initiative expanded into a website allowing scientists in the U.S. and abroad to register their objections. When the news spread, Canadian media reported nearly 1,000 scientists opposing Darwinism. Over time, the number of opponents in the U.S. alone reached around 3,000, with more remaining silent out of fear for their positions and reputations. Opposition is not limited to biologists, since evolution also touches on statistics, probability, physics, chemistry, and more—hence physicists, surgeons, and others have also rejected Darwinism.
