Darwin’s theory of common descent was a fascinating theory in the late 1800’s but modern Darwinism is broken. From my perspective as a scientist, here is why.

The Fantasy of the Gaps Response
A theist may sometimes use a god-of-the-gaps argument when faced with a gap in our knowledge for a natural explanation for something. But if that gap begins to be filled with evidence from science, history, or logic and it increasingly points to God, a non-theist will often make a fantasy-of-the-gaps move to avoid it.
The God of the Gaps Argument
Most people who accuse someone of committing the god-of-the-gaps fallacy are mistaken. Here is the difference between a legit argument and a god-of-the-gaps argument.
Why this scientist believes intelligent design was required for biological life
Science is now in a position to analyze effects to see if they test positive for requiring intelligence to produce. Applying that scientific method to biological life reveals that the fingerprints of intelligence are all over the genomes of life.
Faith and Science: Part III -- Fantasy in modern science
How science fiction and fantasy have crept into modern science.
Faith and Science: Part II -- Inferential science ... what can go wrong?
As a scientist, I am often dismayed at the naive faith in science that I see in the general public, including Christian leaders, in their tacit assumption that if there is tension between science and faith, it is faith that must be questioned. In reality, the inductive inferences of science must be examined just as critically as interpretations of scripture.
Faith and Science: Part I -- Experimental science and implications for faith in science and God
Although experimental science poses no challenge to faith in God, it does send a strong warning to those who feel that faith in science trumps faith in God.
What Caused the Universe?
Just as a woman cannot give birth to herself, so nature cannot have brought itself into existence. If the origin and foundation of the physical world cannot be natural, then it must be something that is not-natural.
