British scientists have proved that evolution is a fact, in many relations similar to the Pythagorean theorem. As the Pythagorean theorem can be used to solve some problems of architecture, but can not be used for calculating tasks in High Energy Physics, so and the hypothesis of evolution have its own scope, outside of which it is essentially not able to adequately describe reality. In this collection of researches critically investigated arguments of supporters of atheistic Evolution on the example of R. Dawkins' well-known work: “The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution” and explained, in which cases the hypothesis of evolution does not work and why.
However, the author did not aim to show that Dawkins is wrong. To this conclusion a reader will come himself. Many scientists (biologists, geneticists, anthropologists, archaeologists and others) are doing their job honestly. If look unbiased at all the discoveries, which clarifying and developing the hypothesis of evolution, can be seen that they do not contradict the Bible. On the contrary, the scientific researches are only confirm the Revelation. Then why on theme of evolution over 150 years are constantly hotly arguing and debating? The point is not only in science, but also in ideology, in interest of which scientific facts can be distorted and misinterpreted.
The public interest in this topic is caused not so much by its biological component, as the eternal human desire to know himself and his place in the Universe. Therefore, in the first part main attention primarily focuses on historical, scientific, philosophical and theological aspects of the hypothesis of evolution. Many issues are highlighted with an original point of view. This collection of researches will be interesting and useful both atheists and followers of various religions, and the materials of the articles will serve as an excellent implement for disciples, students and teachers.
