Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar
in him. However, his evidence broke the spell, or "swallowed up what they
had forged," as revealed in the verse:
We revealed to Moses: "Throw down your staff." And it imme-
diately swallowed up what they had forged. So the Truth took
place and what they did was shown to be false. (Surat al-A‘raf,
117-118)

As we can see, when people realized that a spell had been cast upon
them and that what they saw was just an illusion, Pharaoh's magicians
lost all credibility. In the present day too, unless those who, under the in-
fluence of a similar spell, believe in these ridiculous claims under their sci-
entific disguise and spend their lives defending them, abandon their
superstitious beliefs, they also will be humiliated when the full truth
emerges and the spell is broken. In fact, world-renowned British writer
and philosopher Malcolm Muggeridge, who was an atheist defending
evolution for some 60 years, but who subsequently realized the truth, re-
veals the position in which the theory of evolution would find itself in the
near future in these terms:
I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the ex-
tent to which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history
books in the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious
an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it
has. 159
That future is not far off: On the contrary, people will soon see that
"chance" is not a deity, and will look back on the theory of evolution as
the worst deceit and the most terrible spell in the world. That spell is al-
ready rapidly beginning to be lifted from the shoulders of people all over
the world. Many people who see its true face are wondering with amaze-
ment how they could ever have been taken in by it.

They said, “Glory be to You! We have no knowl edge
except what You have taught us. You are the
All-Knowing, the All-Wise.”
(Surat al-Baqara, 32)
