The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution in 20 Questions

by Harun Yahya ...

The theory of evolution has been around for some 150 years, and has deeply influenced people's views of the world. The theory maintains that life came about by chance, by itself, and through natural conditions. However, evolution is not supported by any scientific evidence. It is a dogma that materialist scientists and philosophers are trying to impose on society under a scientific mask.The main ... Read more

Big Brains and the Human Superorganism

Why Special Brains Appear in Hominids and Other Social Animals
