Actually, darwinism had more credibility in 1859. Darwin and others like him, thought the cell was just a glob of protoplasm, now we know it is more complex than most big cities. Many other advances also repudiate the ability of darwinism to explain away this complexity (and of course still be consistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics - that can NEVER be violated). And I don’t even need to mention the complete lack of transitional fossils that worried darwin at the time and he stated that these fossils would eventually be found (and haven’t).
False. See the following links from Index to Creationist Claims, edited by Mark Isaak.
Sorry, the fossils have been found. Lots of them.
Creationists try to wave them away but that doesn't make them disappear! And more are found every year.
