In the same way that the beliefs of people who worshipped crocodiles now seem odd
and unbelievable, so the beliefs of Darwinists are just as incredible. Darwinists regard
chance and lifeless, unconscious atoms as a creative force, and are as devoted to that
belief as if to a religion.

As we have seen, Pharaoh's magicians were able to deceive every-
one, apart from the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and those who believed 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 immediately
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 influence of a similar spell, believe in these ridiculous claims
under their scientific 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 sixty years, but who subsequent-
ly realized the truth, reveals the position in which the theory of evolu-
tion would find itself in the near future in these terms:
I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to
which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books
