Dr. Doug Axe, PhD, California Institute of Technology has also held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre. His research, which examines the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems, has been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, BIO-Complexity, and Nature, and in such books as Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer and Life’s Solution by Simon Conway Morris.
In a March 21, 2025 podcast on ‘evolutionnews.org ‘ he did say that Darwinian evolution is “one of the weakest, most pathetic scientific theories that has ever come out in the history of science.” He also said, “… does any material natural process account for new living things and the abundance of life we see around us? Not at all. It’s pathetic”.
Yes, there are still scientists who claim that the occasional ‘good’ mutation and natural selection will lead to new and more complex life forms over time. But the truth is that mutations CANNOT do what evolution believers want them to do. Modern genetics has made the Darwinian evolution claim impossible! And it is pathetic that so many scientists still cling to a 19th century myth that 21st century science has made impossible.
There have always been scientists opposed to Darwin’s ideas.
Within 5 years of the publication of Darwin’s book in 1859, there was formal opposition to his theory. 717 well known scientists signed a manifesto: “The Declaration of Students of the Natural and Physical sciences”. This declaration affirmed their confidence in the scientific integrity of the holy Scriptures and NOT in Darwin’s story-line. The signers included 86 Fellows of the Royal Society. Among the more prominent signers were James Joule, David Brewster, Henry Rawlinson, Adam Sedgwick, and James Glaisher.
James Joule (1818-1889) was a physicist and mathematician. He formulated ‘Joule’s Law’ of energy transfer and the unit of energy, the Joule, (J) was named for him. He was a devout Christian and a strong Darwin critic.
Adam Sedgwick (1785-1873) was a scholar at Trinity College & a priest. He was a founder of modern geology, proposing the Cambrian and Devonian rock strata. While he accepted long geological ages, he was a harsh Darwin critic, calling it “utterly false”. He predicted Darwin’s theory would be devastatingly harmful to the world. And he was right.
In 1932 another British movement was organized against Darwin’s theory– The ‘Evolution Protest Movement’, also founded by prominent scientists. Since 1980 they have been called the Creation Science Movement with headquarters in Portsmouth, England.
Around the world throughout the 20th century, large numbers of scientists have rejected Darwin, not just pointing out the lack of evidence for that theory, but the strong evidence FOR a Creator God in every branch of science.
In 2001, an online letter was formed to oppose the claim that Darwinism is science. The letter includes this statement, “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”
It is very difficult for scientists to make their opposition to Darwin public, especially in academia today. But the online letter grew to over 1,000 signatures in 2019 and continues to grow. Real scientists can and should question such a broad theory that has so little evidence for it.
Yet, many people are still astounded that some top scientists are Christians who firmly believe the Bible. They hold PhD’s from top Universities and publish papers in scientific journals.
In the last 20 years, Dr. John Sanford, the inventor of the Gene Gun and world class geneticist was convinced by his own research into mutations and DNA – that Darwinism is scientifically impossible. Dr. Jeffrey P. Tomkins, another geneticist holds his PhD from Clemson and worked in the genetics laboratory there. Dr. Raymond Damadian, a Creationist, invented the MRI. If you or a loved one ever need this valuable procedure, thank a creationist. Damadian is a first class scientist and believes the Bible.
Dr. Brandon van der Ventel and Dr. Vernon R Cupps are 2 experienced atomic scientists who do world class research and believe the Biblical account of Creation.
Dr Werner Gitt, a past Director at the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology is a Creationist. Finnish professor Matti Leisola, the former Dean of Chemistry and Materials Science at Helsinki University of Technology is a creationist, as is Romanian Dr. Emil Silvestru; a world renowned expert on cave formation. There are 10’s of thousands of scientists around the world who do not accept Darwinism as a viable theory.
Although evolutionists continue to interpret science in light of their belief in evolution, science works perfectly well without any connection to evolution. Think about it this way: is a belief in molecules-to-man evolution necessary to understand how planets orbit the sun, how telescopes operate, or how plants and animals function? Has any biological or medical research benefited from a belief in evolution? No, not at all.
Ph.D. cell biologist (and creationist) Dr. David Menton has stated,
“The fact is, that though widely believed, evolution contributes nothing to our understanding of empirical science and thus plays no essential role in biomedical research or education.”
Bottom Line: There is no evidence whatsoever that being skeptical about Darwinism hinders someone’s ability to do and apply science. In fact, students are better off and more interested in science when taught both models of our origins as well as the facts – and then asked to THINK for themselves.

Book a speaker for your church, youth group, Bible study or civic organization:
We have two experienced speakers that you can book. Either a small event with one speaker or a larger event. Just send an inquiry to [email protected] and see our speakers web page here.
We have 2 Open seats for the Grand Canyon Rim and Raft Tours -2025
Open seats are now available: June 19-22, 2025.
Our basic tour from Phoenix starts on a Thursday evening and ends Sunday morning. Everything is included from Thursday evening dinner and program until Sunday morning Breakfast in the hotel. The ride to the canyon is on an air-conditioned luxury bus with bathroom. Though being 4-hours long it is like a rolling Creation Science seminar with a DVD, short talks about the area, and Q & A with discussion about many topics. People say the time goes by quickly.
There are 3 lectures on the rim of the canyon, plus a dinner on the way to Page, AZ. Saturday morning involves a mild 17-mile raft trip on the Colorado River, but just before it enters the National Park. There is no whitewater, but you do experience being on the river between 1000ft cliffs on both sides. Afterwards we have lunch on the bus with a stop to see some authentic dinosaur tracks.
Dinner is then back in Phoenix with another program. The price includes 3 nights in great hotels, meals, all park fees, rafting fees, presentations and transportation. Minimum age for this trip is 4 years on start date.
Join us and the 100’s of others who have been blessed on these tours in the past.
A Special Offer for your school or youth group:
Show this 38-min film for free at your school or youth group!
A new film “Night at the Discovery Center” aimed at young people will be available anytime after September 6th. It’s a fun spoof on the “Night at the Museum” movies. This film really could be a great way to help engage the next generation with the Truth of the Scriptures. Your youth will enjoy it as much as many others have. Call for more info. No charge for this special event for your youth.
It is an entertaining, not-too-long, fun video packed with Scripture to kick off your 2025 school year. Since this film is appropriate for all ages, we believe you could have a lot of fun and be creative with an event: “Pizza and a movie,” or “Popcorn and a Movie.” Night.
Helmut Welke or Scott Weckerly will be available afterwards to answer questions about the movie, dinosaurs etc.
All you have to do is call us to preview the film (see graphic), ask questions and discuss a showing time. Or Email: [email protected]

Its Over! Darwin Proven Wrong
A new article published results from a major study of mtDNA in May 2018 – says that many species came into existence about the same time, much closer in time than previously thought: (emphasis mine)
https://phys.org/news/2018-05-gene-survey-reveals-facets-evolution.html
“In analyzing the barcodes across 100,000 species, the researchers found a telltale sign showing that almost all the animals emerged about the same time as humans.”
Comment: That means that Humans could NOT have evolved from apes or anything else! The authors, who are evolutionists admit they did not like this result, and “…fought against it as hard as I could,”. But it is there. The authors and the article author try to spin this into a discussion of genetic bottleneck, but the result – after the bottleneck or catastrophe – is that all species emerged at the same time. Think deep about that. No matter how you spin it, this means there is no time for Darwinism. No evolution of humans from apes and apes from a mouse-like creature which we are told lived 65 million years ago.
And —another unexpected finding from the study—species have very clear genetic boundaries, and there’s nothing much in between.
“If individuals are stars, then species are galaxies,” said Thaler. “They are compact clusters in the vastness of empty sequence space.”
The absence of “in-between” species is something that also perplexed Darwin, he said.
Comment: This last part indicates that Darwin’s Tree of Life is DEAD. Its been in very deep trouble for decades. This is the death knell. The data shows that the Creation Orchard is much more consistent with the science of genetics. (the creation Orchard refers to the concept of Created Kinds of Genesis – that is close to the Family level of biological classifications.) Each Created kind reproduces after its own kind, but with a lot of variation in coloring size and physical traits – but never turns into another ‘kind’. I.E. a pair wolf hounds gave rise to all breeds of dogs, as well as wolfs, foxes, hyenas, etc. but nothing like eagles. There is variation for sure within the ‘Kind’, but no kind turned into another kind (IE an amphibian of some type morphing into a T-Rex). Genetics does not allow this. Notice that the authors refer to the distances between animal clusters (Created ‘kinds’- or Family level) as being on a par to the distances “between galaxies”. Amazing.
As far as the time frame goes – (200k – 250,000 yrs) – that is based on the Genetic clock used for mutation rates. In the late 1990’s a genetic clock based on actual observed mutation rates put ‘Mitochondrial Eve’ – the Mother of all Humans, about 6,000 years ago. Evolutionists changed the clock because they did not like that result. So another clock was develop based on the assumption that apes evolved into humans. They changed the clock based on this assumption (which is not proven and uses circular reasoning) and then presto – you get the oft used number of 200-250,000 years ago!

Do you know the difference between ‘Natural Selection’ and ‘Evolution’?
Today many people regularly confuse the terms of “natural selection” (variation within a created Kind) and “evolution” (meaning the major changes over time from Microbes to Mankind). These are two very different concepts and should not be confused.
“Natural Selection” means some existing characteristics of a genus or species can become more dominant or less dominant. This includes the length of beaks in finches and the dominant coloring of moths, and even dominant hair and skin color in humans. This variation can be controlled by humans (i.e. dog breeding) and can also happen naturally due to droughts and other natural causes. But, there is never a whole new ‘kind’ of animal evolving. Unfortunately there are many text books that give several examples of natural selection, and then say this proves evolution. You don’t have to think very long to realize that there is something wrong with that statement. Having the numbers of mostly darker or lighter colored moths change statistically over time does not prove Darwinian evolution. The moths will not evolve into eagles or a new creature. In some text books it is admitted no new species evolved. Yet many evolutionary books will confuse the 2 terms and try to lead unknowing students into believing in evolution. But, no examples of real Darwinian evolution are given.
Creationists before and after Darwin, do not disagree at all with natural selection – or Micro- Evolution as some call it. But Natural Selection will never change a worm-like creature in the sea into oak trees, giraffes, eagles and people. The late S.J. Gould (Harvard university) wrote in Scientific American, (Oct 1994) “Natural selection is therefore a principle of local adaption, not of general advance or progress.” (meaning it does not advance the evolution of more complex creatures.)
Considering Darwin’s finches – those with larger beak allows them to eat harder seeds when soft seeds go into short supply. So they survive and breed, while their small beaked cousins die off. Natural Selection does cause variation in the frequency of specific traits – but always within strict limits. It actually was a creationist who broadly discussed this idea before Darwin. Edward Blyth wrote three major articles on natural selection that were published in The Magazine of Natural History from 1835 to 1837. Blyth correctly saw the concept of natural selection as a mechanism by which the sick, old and unfit were removed from a population; as a preserving factor of a created kind. But Natural Selection never creates new and usable information. There is NO mechanism genetically for Darwin’s theory to create new information. Modern genetics has proven Darwin completely and absolutely wrong. Only people who do not research much into Genetics still believe this can happen.
Pierre P. Grassé, one of the most distinguished of all French scientists, published a book, “L’Evolution du Vivant” -and his conclusion is even stronger – that biology is impotent in explaining the origin of species, and must yield to a supernatural explanation. It is just a game of words. And it is not even close. It is far more logical to accept that there is a creator God. And yes, many evolutionists have admitted they have no mechanism to advance from one species or ‘family’ to another. Darwinian evolution simply has no proof – None – Not when you look a little bit into the details.
Why is this topic of Creation Science important?
We live in a culture that has high respect for science – but there is a mistaken view that Christinality and science are not compatible. When Chrsitians are confronted with the supposed ‘fact’ of evolution and Big Bang theory they often lose heart. They have no answers. Especially for themselves and then they are weakened in their Faith and many young people even walk away from the church. That is not necessary – if we only help them see that Christinaity has answers and actually better ones than atheists have. Please watch this 5-6 minute video to understand why creation science is needed in our culture and can strengthen the church in general.
