Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution to explain the origin,

showing that natural selection only explains small evolutionary changes,
collectively known as microevolution. Natural selection cannot drive
large evolutionary changes, macroevolution. I will also show that the
primordial soup, in which life supposedly evolved, did not exist.
Neo-Darwinism incorporates the discoveries of modern science into
Darwin's original theory while leaving the basic beliefs intact. Darwin

selection gave rise to all animals and plants.

I will prove that natural selection is not a creative process. Its
primary function is to preserve the status quo. Thus, new structures and
organs must arise through chance. Natural selection can only preserve
and optimize these new structures and organs after they evolve through
chance. In other words, natural selection does not drive evolution, and
the hypothesis on which neo-Darwinism is based is flawed.

Natural selection drives microevolution. Microevolution is defined as
evolution involving small changes. Microevolution does not require the
evolution of new structures or organs, Therefore, microevolution does
not ...
