13. Darwin proposed the theory of gemmules. Prof. H. H. Newman says, “This theory was not satisfactory even to Darwin and is now only of historical interest.”
14. Darwin’s subsidiary theory of sexual selection has also been rejected by scientists as worthless.
In view of these and other objections, is it any wonder that Darwin’s theory has been so largely rejected by the scientific world?
And is it not amazing that self-styled “scientists” hold on to their precious theory of evolution, as if these objections had no weight? They can not save evolution even by rejecting Darwinism.
28. SCIENTISTS CONDEMN EVOLUTION
Dr. Etheridge, famous fossilologist of the British Museum, one of the highest authorities in the world, said:—“Nine-tenths of the talk of evolutionists is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by facts. This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of their views. In all this great museum, there is not a particle of evidence of the transmutation of species.” Is a man in that position not a credible witness?
Prof. Beale, of King’s College, London, a distinguished physiologist, said: “There is no evidence that man has descended from, or is, or was, in any way specially related to, any other organism in nature, through evolution, or by any other process. In support of all naturalistic conjectures concerning man’s origin, there is not, at this time, a shadow of scientific evidence.”
Prof. Virchow, of Berlin, a naturalist of world wide fame, said: “The attempt to find the transition from the animal to man has ended in total failure. The middle link has not been found and never will be. Evolution is all nonsense. It can not be proved by science that man descended from the ape or from any other animal.”
Prof. Fleishman, of Erlangen, who once accepted Darwinism, but after further investigation repudiated it, said: “The Darwinian theory of descent has not a single fact to confirm it, in the realm of nature. It is not the result of scientific research, but is purely the product of the imagination.”
Prof. Agassiz, one of the greatest scientists of any age, said: “The theory [of the transmutation of species] is a scientific mistake, untrue in its facts, unscientific in its method, and mischievous in its tendency.... There is not a fact known to science, tending to show that a single kind has ever been transmuted into any other.”
