Farewell to Darwinian Evolution affirms the views of honest scientists and philosophers, such as atheists Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini, who in their book, What Darwin Got Wrong (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010), insist something is critically wrong with Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Farewell to Darwinian Evolution lends support to members of credible scientific organizations and magazines, such as the New Scientists, who chose integrity over conformity and declared on the front page of its 24-30 January 2009 issue that "Darwin Was Wrong [: ] Cutting Down the Tree of Life." Leading evolutionists have consistently dismissed any opposition to Darwinian evolution, which was built on analogy rather than experiments.
The Darwinian theory of evolution contends that new species are formed gradually by random variation and through competition. Empirical evidence shows the opposite; that is, new species are formed rapidly with intent and through cooperation. Darwinism and anti-Darwinism cannot be both right. Because empirical science is neutral, the only correct resolution is to bid farewell to Darwinism. There was no common ancestor, and there are no missing links. Honest scientists will also professionally and comfortably bid farewell to natural selection as a designing agency. Thus, the truth about humanity's origin cannot be obtained through theoretical studies of our surroundings. If nature, which obeys laws, is not the creator, who is?
The appropriate question is, "are we here by chance, or do we belong to an agent who is supposed to inform us about our origin and purpose of life?"
In light of this question, John Rennie, chief editor of Scientific American, in his July 2002 article, wrote: "If super intelligent aliens appeared and claimed credit for creating life on Earth (or even particular species), the purely evolutionary explanation would be cast in doubt. But no one has yet produced such evidence."
Rennie was right in his request for a claimant, but he was wrong in his conclusion that no one has come forward to claim ownership. Farewell to Darwinian Evolution provides details of God's patent and seal of ownership of the world.
