Yet this propaganda cannot
conceal the truth. The fact that the
theory of evolution is the greatest
deception in the history of sci-
ence has been expressed more and
more in the scientific world over
the last 20-30 years. Research car-
ried out after the 1980s in particu-
lar has revealed that the claims of
Darwinism are totally unfounded,
something that has been stated by
a large number of scientists. In the
United States in particular, many
scientists from such different
fields as biology, biochemistry
and paleontology recognize the
invalidity of Darwinism and em- Charles Darwin
ploy the fact of Creation to account for the origin of life.
We have examined the collapse of the theory of evolution and the
proofs of Creation in great scientific detail in many of our works, and are
still continuing to do so. Given the enormous importance of this subject,
it will be of great benefit to summarize it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
As a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece, the theory
of evolution was advanced extensively in the nineteenth century. The
most important development that made it the top topic of the world of
science was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, published in 1859. In
this book, he opposed, in his own eyes, the fact that Allah created differ-
ent living species on Earth separately, for he erroneously claimed that all
living beings had a common ancestor and had diversified over time
through small changes. Darwin's theory was not based on any concrete
scientific finding; as he also accepted, it was just an "assumption."
Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book titled
"Difficulties on Theory," the theory failed in the face of many critical
questions.
