STROMATOLITES:

3.9-million-year-old living

marvels that refute the

theory of evolution

The oldest known fossils belong to bacteria that lived some 3.9 billion years ago. That is why
evolutionists have claimed that the first single-celled bacterium emerged spontaneously, by chan-
ce, from inanimate matter. In order to be able to corroborate this myth, Darwinists refer to the first

bacterium in question as a “simple” organism. In their eyes, this life form with supposedly simple
characteristics, must have been influenced at random by various environmental circumstances and
conditions and have undergone changes, always positive, and must have acquired various miracu-
lous characteristics – such as producing its own nutrients and starting to replicate by mitosis from

meiosis – again all by chance. But in order for this to transpire that unconscious bacterium would
have to go even further and start thinking, it would have to have made various decisions and es-
tablished colonies. It would also have to be capable of biochemical communications with other bac-
teria and eventually become the complex life form it is now. This illogical and irrational claim ma-

de by Darwinists was widely accepted due to the ignorance of the time, when science had not ma-
de much progress, and was heralded as a scientific fact. But this has all changed in the 21st century.
The major scientific advances taking place today have totally undermined the idea of a “primi-
tive first bacterium” because current research in the light of advanced technology has revealed that

these, the smallest life forms on earth, are not at all simple, as Darwinists maintain, that they have
highly important and complex attributes, and that they could only have been created in a single mo-
ment by a sublime Mind and with an incomparable Knowledge. The fact revealed by science is that
Allah has created bacteria, like all other living things.

Bacteria are essential for life on earth

A chemical laboratory made up of elements we cannot see with the naked eye, that works non-

stop and supports our survival, is present in all of nature. The bacteria we are considering in this
chapter, each one of which is a miracle of creation, are expert chemists that make use of nature as a
laboratory. A great many of the features of bacteria are still unknown because the size of these life

forms, around 0.001 millimeters (3.93700787 × 10 -5 inches), generally makes it impossible to study
