"Darwin produced embarrassingly little concrete evidence to back up some of his most important claims. This includes the change of one species into another in succeed...ing geological strata, or the production of new structures and taxonomic types by natural selection." Nature March 22, 1974 p.285
Despite this remarkable lack of evidence, Darwin then placed the burden of proof on the skeptics, and argued that if it could be demonstrated that any complex organ *could not possibly* have evolved via numerous successive slight modifications his theory would break down, thus erecting a very high wall to protect his theory. |
