About this ebook
The current scientific consensus champions evolution by natural selection as an indisputable fact. Resultantly, many tell us where the facts lead, but when actually examining the alleged evidence, what one unearths is quite shocking—that from the very beginning, the theory of evolution was built on an unsteady foundation and the facts that presumably support it are rare, isolated, and unimpressive. Why Evolution is Not True is a succinct and accessible summary of how the facts that supposedly support the modern theory of evolution are dishonestly misinterpreted and why the evidence available demands a fresh verdict: that evolution is not true because natural selection does not exist.
In this bold and revolutionary book, Dr. C. H. Elijah Sadaphal challenges the scientific status quo, dispels common misunderstandings about evolution, and confirms the truth, which clearly refutes this speculative process of extraordinary change. By synthesizing Darwin’s original postulation in On the Origin of Species with molecular biology, modern genetics, medicine, and paleontology, Dr. Sadaphal provides seven devastating reasons why natural selection is not real and is merely a philosophical conjecture. Why Evolution is Not True does not aim to prove any alternative ideas; rather, by using indisputable and overwhelming evidence, it sets out to demonstrate that evolution by natural selection is neither plausible nor sufficient to explain the diversity of species.

Dr. Charles Haddon Elijah Sadaphal began his career as a medical doctor. He discovered a hidden passion for writing after a colleague challenged him to put some ideas down on paper. The challenge became his first book, Epoch Dawning, a post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel and an Amazon Top 100 Christian science fiction bestseller. Elijah has not stopped writing since. Having published six books, with four currently in development, he is an accomplished and prolific author. Additionally, Elijah is a featured writer in several online media outlets, including The Living Pulpit, an online magazine dedicated to serving the servants of Jesus. He also contributes to Voices on Bold, a multimedia news and cultural platform focused on the ideals of personal responsibility and sustainable capitalism. Furthermore, Elijah is the creator and host of the podcast series What Christians Should Know and Preaching Christ, and he is developing a new podcast called TruthFinder, which interacts with the doubts and reservations of atheists and agnostics to find ultimate truth and meaning. Elijah writes with a particular emphasis on matters concerning the Christian faith. He posts weekly book reviews and in-depth commentaries on CHESadaphal.com on a myriad of relevant, contemporary issues. These commentaries rely on timeless biblical truth to inform contemplation of life and the modern world.

Introduction
This eBook is an extension of the podcast TruthFinder. The mission statement for TruthFinder is to search for crucial answers to critical questions about belief, non-belief, and everything in between.[1] This search attempts to be as objective as possible, since the real truth will always be true, regardless of what a person knows, thinks he or she knows, believes, or feels. Accordingly, in this edition, we’ll be challenging a core foundation upon which a Godless worldview rests—Darwinism, or the idea that the diversity of life can be explained by the purely natural process of evolution by natural selection. We’ll be exposing the foundation upon which Darwinian evolution is based, and when we unearth said foundation, the structures that are supported by it may shake. When we use modern science to scrutinize a nineteenth-century theory, what will be the ultimate conclusion? Will an objective assessment force us to seriously reconsider Darwin’s theory of evolution? Will the supporting structures that rest upon the theory of evolution crumble and fall? In pursuit of the truth, we shall find out. Much is at stake, because if a Godless worldview does not have a plausible explanation for life, then the explanation is insignificant, and the corresponding worldview is in vain.

Charles Darwin is best known for his theory of evolution by natural selection. His theory was put forth in his magnum opus, The Origin of Species, published in 1859. Origin had the potential to forever change the world because it presumably described how the diversity in nature could be explained by purely natural processes. Yet today, more than 150 years later, roughly three out of ten (34 percent) adults in the United States reject evolution entirely. Even among the adults that do believe in evolution (62 percent), roughly half are skeptical that evolution happens exclusively due to natural processes.[2] This means that more than six out of every ten Americans doubt that evolution is true or deny how it happens according to scientific consensus[3]--that is, solely by natural means. The truth is never based on public opinion, but a nagging question is evident: Why is there such resistance to accepting evolution as true? Are the majority of Americans in the dark … or just plain stupid? Does gross misinformation exist? Do scientists have access to evidence that laypeople don’t? Are the people biased? Are the scientists biased? Is the scientific community involved in a grand hoax? Am I reading too much into this? Could it be that (gasp) Darwin was wrong?
Some evolution skeptics dismiss the theory without a thorough consideration of the facts, and others lack conviction despite being cognizant of the full breadth of evidence. To validate their position, many in both camps end up saying similar things. What I hope to do in this episode is something new: make a case for why Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is not true because natural selection does not exist. Natural selection has little to do with real science and much to do with a philosophical assumption. What I intend to therefore demonstrate is that ultimately, evolution amounts to an anemic hypothesis based on speculation and untestable assumptions.
Indeed, the claim that evolution is not true stands in opposition to the scientific consensus that evolution is an all-embracing fact.[4] However, as I shall validate, just because a person (or a group of people) is an expert does not mean he or she is inerrant, nor does it mean his or her reasoning is correct. For non-experts, it appears that many of those who embrace Darwinian evolution by natural selection do so out of ignorance, without ever having carefully scrutinized it or investigating the facts
for themselves.[5] Michael Behe, the author of Darwin’s Black Box, discovered that this assessment was true not only for public grade and high school students but for people in the media, graduate students in the biological sciences, and the teachers of those graduate students.
At no point in this analysis will I make the argument or draw the conclusion that God did it.
What I intend to show is that a person doesn’t need a speck of religious persuasion to reject Darwin’s theory. All you need is logic, common sense, and to actually examine the facts for yourself. God doesn’t need to defeat Darwin because Darwin does an excellent job all by himself—with an enormous amount of help from science. There is one question that science always answers or seeks to answer well. That question is how. If science doesn’t answer that question—or isn’t actively pursuing an explanation for how—then it fails to be science. Where Darwin’s theory fails is not the idea; it’s in explaining how. And the more information we gain about life (and how wonderfully complex it is), the more explaining Darwin’s theory has to do.
In Part I, I will define what evolution is and clarify terms. I will then explain how natural selection works and what is at stake if Darwin is wrong. In Part II, I will present seven reasons that explain why natural selection does not exist. First, through analysis of Darwin’s Origin of Species and using his own words, I will explain how Darwin never presented a plausible explanation for natural selection in Origin, only some vague theoretical conjectures. Here I will expose the fraudulent logical and philosophical foundation upon which the theory of evolution rests. Second, I will make a scientific case and draw on contemporary knowledge in molecular biochemistry, genetics, and medicine to further validate that natural selection is not real. The foundation upon which I will make this argument is that on a cellular level (where the building blocks of life work), natural selection explains virtually nothing and therefore is not a credible scientific theory. Third, I will explain how the historical piece of evidence most cited as clear proof that evolution happened—the fossil record—is actually a large reservoir of evidence against natural selection. Finally, I will conclude by making an inference about the scientific explanation and discern what meaningful conclusions can be drawn because natural selection is not real and, therefore, evolution is not true.
I do not believe that each reason natural selection does not exist will be totally persuasive in and of itself; rather, each reason will serve as some proof against it so that the cumulative summation of evidence demands the verdict that natural selection is not real. The seven reasons will analyze the scientific facts and make the argument that natural selection does not exist because of either of the following reasons:
(i) There is no sufficient explanation for how natural selection actually works, as required for any plausible scientific explanation.
(ii) Natural selection is redundant because of other verifiable forces that act instead.
Part I
Defining terms
Evolution and Science
Science answers the question of How?
by telling us what is. Science plays an invaluable part in helping human beings to understand reality. What I do every day, for example (medicine), is materially advanced by research and empirical trials. True science is, therefore, not something to be denigrated but to be championed. Accordingly, I am in no way anti-science. I am a seasoned medical doctor, and while engaged in my particular field of expertise, I consult scientific trials and concrete data in order to guide treatment plans. In other words, it’s all about what
