“So, where is the documentation for the long history of the [so-called] evolution of these creatures? The usual

answer is that the necessary fossil layers prior to the Cambrian period have not been discovered yet. The fossils
are just missing! How convenient! This, after all, was Darwin’s excuse and many evolutionists after him follo-
wed suit. Well, recent discoveries from Canada, Greenland, China, Siberia, and Namibia document quite clearly
that this period of biological creativity occurred in a geological instant virtually all around the globe. So, the

usual excuse no longer holds water. . . . [According to evolutionists] Darwinism has always been characterized
by slow gradual change that is imperceptible in our time frame. Major evolutionary change was only visible as
we looked to the fossils to reveal the number and type of intermediates between species and major groups. But
the Cambrian explosion is anything but gradual, and identifiable intermediates are totally absent.” 16

All the scientific evidence shows that the first living things to appear on Earth did not develop thro-
ugh evolution, and that new species did not develop by their turning into another species. Cambrian li-
fe forms appeared on the stage of history with no supposed primitive forebear behind them. Evolutio-
nists have been unable to produce “one single piece of evidence” from the fossil record, which should
represent the most important source of evidence and greatest witness for the supposed “process of evo-

lution” they have been talking about for the last 150 years. Not one of the mechanisms proposed by the
theory of evolution has been seen to bring about evolution. No branch of science supports the theory of
evolution in any way. On the contrary, they constantly produce new evidence to refute it.
Cambrian life forms from 530 million years ago, in which some 50 phyla containing all the basic

structures of the animal world were alive, have radically undermined the theory of evolution. Evolutio-
nists are still trying to recover from this surprise and to gloss over this extraordinary phenomenon. Yet
the Cambrian explosion remains a fact, in the face of which evolution has melted away.

Darwinism will appear as whimsical to future generations as the stories about the Earth resting on
the back of a giant turtle that people in past centuries believed in so passionately. People will fail to un-
derstand how Nobel Prize-winning professors, members of academic staffs and societies came to belie-
th
ve in such a farce and lined up wholeheartedly behind such nonsense. The 20 century will go down as
a century of shame for all Darwinist scientific circles.

He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beauti-

ful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. He is the Al-
mighty, the All-Wise. (Qur’an, 59:24)
