Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should ponder
on Almighty Allah, and fear and seek refuge in Him, for He squeezes the
entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cubic centimeters in a three-
dimensional, colored, shadowy, and luminous form.

A Materialist Faith
The information we have presented so far shows us that the theory of
evolution is incompatible with scientific findings. The theory's claim re-
garding the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the evolutionary
mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power, and fossils demon-
strate that the required intermediate forms have never existed. So, it cer-
tainly follows that the theory of evolution should be pushed aside as an
unscientific idea. This is how many ideas, such as the Earth-centered uni-
verse model, have been taken out of the agenda of science throughout his-
tory.
However, the theory of evolution is kept on the agenda of science.
Some people even try to represent criticisms directed against it as an "at-
tack on science." Why?
The reason is that this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief for
some circles. These circles are blindly devoted to materialist philosophy
and adopt Darwinism because it is the only materialist
explanation that can be put forward to explain
the workings of nature.
Interestingly enough, they also con-
fess this fact from time to time. A well-
known geneticist and an outspoken
evolutionist, Richard C. Lewontin
from Harvard University, confesses
that he is "first and foremost a mate-
rialist and then a scientist":
It is not that the methods and institu-
tions of science somehow compel us ac-
cept a material explanation of the
phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that
we are forced by our a priori adherence to ma-
terial causes to create an apparatus of investiga-
