The years 1835, when Charles Darwin first visited the Galapagos Islands, and 1859, in which he brought out his first book, have something in common. In both periods life could only be investigated at a very insufficient level with quite primitive technology. Even the names of such branches of science as genetics and biochemistry were as yet unknown. The theory of evolution that Darwin set out in such an environment contained no scientific explanation. In fact, every piece of research performed by evolutionist scientists in the years that followed and every finding they produced proved to be evidence that repudiated evolution, rather than supporting it. Modern science and technology made rapid advances from the early 20th century and revealed that science refuted evolution. All branches of science relevant to the subject – such as microbiology, biomathematics, cellular biology, biochemistry, genetics, anatomy, physiology, anthropology and paleontology – produced countless proofs that totally invalidated the theory of evolution in all respects. Darwin had actually placed a long chapter called “Difficulties on Theory” in his Origin of Species decades before these developments occurred. Were he alive today, his reaction to these scientific advances and to Atlas of Creation would be exactly the same as that of any rational and logical person who believes in the truth of science.

Year: 2007
Place: The Galapagos Islands, some 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador.
Charles Darwin, who first visited the islands in 1835, has now become a grandfather aged 198. He continued to pay frequent visits to the islands, which were of such great importance to him personally and to his theory, which is devoid of any scientific evidence. However, on his return from his last visit he was as yet unaware of a surprise awaiting him at home that would change all his ideas.

Darwin wrote the Origin of Species, his first book, on the basis of various observations he made on the Galapagos Islands, which in fact offered no evidence for evolution. Since the invalidity and inconsistency of his theory became more and more apparent as the years passed, the need was born for a new study to keep his followers busy. Darwin, therefore, decided to write a new book to keep the despairing adherents of the theory distracted for a while longer. Although he again had no supporting evidence, he began writing his new work, The Evolution of Species.

While he was working the doorbell rang, and the postman handed over a large parcel containing Atlas of Creation. Darwin was surprised, since he had not ordered such a package and was unaware what was in it, and his first impression was how heavy it was.

Full of curiosity he opened the parcel up. He was immediately amazed by the high-quality appearance of the Atlas he found inside and whose contents he had not yet examined. However, his surprise turned to astonishment when he examined the fossil specimens and read the rational and scientific explanations contained within it.

Darwin: “I had long believed that the intermediate form fossils needed to verify my theory must exist, and I encouraged that idea in my followers. Yet Atlas of Creation shows that intermediate forms never existed. That entirely does away with my theory. I had already emphasized my concerns about the accuracy of my theory when I wrote ‘Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined’ in the chapter ‘Difficulties on Theory’ in my Origin of Species.”

Darwin immediately thought that such a comprehensive work could only be the result of great enthusiasm and faith. He had had his doubts due to scientific gaps and insufficiencies before his first book, the Origin of Species, was published. However, it was obvious that there had been no doubts of any kind prior to the publication of the Atlas, but rather a 100% confidence in the truth of its contents.

Darwin: “I had never considered that not even a single one of the hundreds of complex protein molecules that constitute the building blocks of the living cell could have formed by chance under natural conditions. Indeed, as Atlas of Creation also emphasizes, my theory is still unable to provide any evidence for or account backing the claim that ‘they came into being by chance.’”

“In the pages that followed I saw that Piltdown Man and Nebraska Man, used for years to convince people that the theory of evolution was true, were in fact hoaxes. All these scandals, to which I led the way, show that my theory is an unscientific fairy tale. Every page of Atlas of Creation proves that I made a grave error and that my theory cannot be true. Now that I have realized that species never underwent evolution and that they were all created separately, along with all their superior characteristics, it is impossible for me to pen a new work called The Evolution of Species. Because of the theory I proposed I was responsible for people falling into a major error that lasted for around 150 years. But it is clear that with its scientific content Atlas of Creation will be sufficient all on its own to rectify my terrible mistake and tell people that the theory of evolution is just plain wrong.”
