Evidence Against Evolutionism From Molecular Biology

When the theory of evolution was first proposed by Charles Darwin (his Origin of Species was published in 1859), scientists knew very little about the makeup of the living cell. They assumed it to be a relatively simple blob of protoplasm. Therefore, it did not take much imagination to hypothesize that it might have sprung into existence by chance through random collisions of molecules. However, scientific discoveries of the past few decades have built an incredibly strong case against the hypothesis that life is the result of random, unplanned processes.
