The Origin of Life and the Universe

defended in the face of so many scientific evidence, the non-existence of
transitional forms, and the impossibility of proteins to appear by chance.
And all this complexity and information in living things falsify the claims
of Darwinism one by one. And also, you don't have any transitional forms.
And could God create through evolution?
Of course, God could have created through evolution, but then we
would have all the transitions between the species. And I would be, and
all my friends and the Honorary Chairman of TBAV, Mr. Adnan Oktar
would be one of the most powerful defenders of evolution of course. But
God did not create through evolution. So why should we defend evolution
then? Evolution is not science.
The problem with evolution is that evolution claims the emergence
of life to be the result of random mechanisms, mutations and natural se-
lection. If somebody, any believer goes to the side of evolution that opens
the way to atheism, and then to be an unbeliever. God created with
sudden creation, not through evolution, that is what science shows us. In
one verse in the Qur’an -I seek refuge in God from the accursed satan-
God reveals:
“Everything is obedient to Him. The Originator of the heavens and
earth. When He decides on something, He just says to it ‘Be!’ and it
is.” (Surat al-Baqara, 116-117)
God created with His commandment “Be” and we know this from
the fossil evidence. We see the species appear all at once and suddenly in
the history of life. For example, if we go back enough in time, we meet the
plant and the first animal. And we meet, 3.8 billion years ago, the first
living cell. And again being alive is something completely different. This
is the manifestation of God’s name “Hayy”. Only God may create and
sustain life. Only God may start and continue life by His will. So, science
and religion are compatible of course, what is not compatible with science
is evolution.
And we see mathematical perfection in living things, for example,
the golden ratio. We look at the plants, we look at the galaxies, we look at
the DNA, and we see the golden ratio. Golden ratio is a number, which
was discovered by Fibonacci in the Middle Ages. It is 1.618, this is the
