The article's thesis is that evolution's intellectual foundations have been steadily eroding, and that few new findings in embryology, taxonomy, fossil remains, and molecular biology are bringing us very near to a formal, logical disproof of Darwinian claims. The paper begins by discussing the evidence of a prehistoric world, then they discuss knowledge acquisition, the mechanism of evolution, types of evolution, probability and statistics, and doubts about Darwin. The paper concludes with a discussion of social Darwinism and evolution's influence on American education. (Contains 19 references.) (Author/SAH)
