The conclusion that I have drawn is unavoidable. Darwinism must be abandoned as a meaningful instrument of organic change. I am confident that that day is not far off. salty
That Darwinism is shortly to be abandoned may sound unlikely to some, but in fact the same view has been expressed by many:
"There are some signs of this whimsical theory of Evolution soon taking another phase."
Thomas Cooper (1878)
"A mere glance at the history of the theory [of evolution] during the four decades that it has been before the public shows that the beginning of the end is at hand."
Professor Zokler (1903)
"Today, at the dawn of the new century, nothing is more certain than that Darwinism has lost its prestige among men of science. It has seen its day and will soon be reckoned a thing of the past."
Eberhard Dennert (1904)
Writing of "The Collapse of Evolution" (book) by Luther Tracy Townsend (1905)
Writing of "The Passing of Evolution" by George Frederick Wright (1910?)
"The science of twenty or thirty years ago was in high glee at the thought of having almost proved the theory of biological evolution. Today, for every careful, candid inquirer, these hopes are crushed; and with weary, reluctant sadness does modern biology now confess that the Church has probably been right all the time."
George McCready Price (1922)
"Darwinism has been definitely outgrown. As a doctrine it is merely of historical interest."
George McCready Price, (quoted in 1924)
"In the future, evolution will be remembered only as the crowning deception ..."
Harold W. Clark (1929)
"The theory [of evolution] stands today positively disproved, and we will venture the prophecy that in another two decades ... the theory will take its place in the limbo of disproved tidings."
Harry Rimmer (1935)
There are many other more recent observations of the same kind, but I have listed these to show the that the imminent demise of evolution is no passing fancy, but a theory backed up by over a century of work, all of about the same high standard.
All extracts taken from The Imminent Demise of Evolution by Glenn Morton. Those interested should follow that link for better references and more complete extracts, and also many other similar extracts up to the present.
