Evolution and the Origin of Life, Compatible?

            The Evolution Theory qualifies as a scientific theory rather than a hypothesis because of its broader scope and nothing more. But the continuum of observations and experiments fail to validate its claims to the origin of life.
             Applying the scientific method, the observed facts no matter how vast do not support the theory of natural selection?or the origin of life or the species; that complex man evolved from simple form. Even in thisdescent with modification?'the Darwinism view of life'there are many links missing or many rungs lacking in the ladder.
             These are grave defects which are conveniently called subtleties by the evolutionist. For example: the lack of evidence of a transitional form that lie between species is conveniently explained away by that a population is the smallest unit that can evolve. Then shouldn't we expect to see more than one? But there's none to qualify as that missing link between species and the more scientists look, the more frustrated they are.
             Another subtlety about natural selection is that it can amplify or diminish only heritable variations, but there is in fact no evidence that characteristics acquired during a lifetime can be inherited. Is this not in fact a grave defect in the theory?.
             Again the subtlety about natural selection being situational, i.e. an adaptation in one situation may even be detrimental in different circumstances. This only makes difficult the production of testable evidence. .
             Attributing diversity of life to natural causes rather than to supernatural creation, Darwin gave biology an unsound unscientific basis which if pursued further brings one to a halt with a bump on the head because he has been deceived.
             Darwin realized when he says:Not one change of species into another is on record?we cannot prove that a single species has been changed.? Charles Darwin, My Life and Letters.
             Arguments for evolution fill science textbooks. Teachers teach it, students neglect to question it.
