ABSTRACT Evolutionism has long maintained that everything we know, including life and, of course, the human being, no matter how complex, has gradually formed by chance from simpler elements. Order arose from disorder, the simple evolved into the complex, all thanks to a slow process of evolution that can be explained without invoking any agent external to matter itself, relying solely on chance. With each scientific discovery, doubts grow stronger that life is far more sophisticated than what a blind mechanism proposed by evolutionism would suggest. Pointing out serious flaws in the theory does not mean it should be completely or immediately discarded, but it does call for a review of its hypotheses and the creation of a new theory that better explains the facts. Human biology based on evolutionism now faces a major question: How could the ape have become a man through the mechanisms proposed by Darwin?
