Why Evolution is a Fairytale for Grown-Ups

Evolution’s “once upon a time” narrative—lifeless molecules magically forming complex life—lacks observational backing, says Dr. Stephen Grocott, a PhD chemist with 40 years’ experience. Self-assembly defies chemistry; molecules decay, not evolve, under time’s relentless push. Historical science can’t prove it, unlike repeatable experiments. From helium in rocks to chirality in fossils, evidence favours a young, designed world over billions of years of chance. Grocott calls evolution a fairytale for adults, requiring greater faith than a divine Creator. True science points to design, not random processes, challenging us to rethink origins with open minds.
