Even if we were to assume that all these complex structures did come into being in an impossible
way (i.e., by chance), Darwinists still have to explain how data enough to fill a million encyclopedia
pages inside such a glorious molecule as DNA could come into existence by pure happenstance. But as
with all issues regarding the cell and the origin of life, Darwinists have no explanation for this either.
According to the perverse Darwinist mindset, the extraordinary information inside a cell that formed by
chance in muddy water must also have come about by chance due to external factors. The wondrous in-
formation inside DNA was actually created together with it.
Darwinists claim that "the cell formed by chance in muddy water” is an outdated belief from the
time of Darwin, who imagined that the cell was a simple sack of jelly. But this nonsense dating back to
th
the 19 century has been totally invalidated today, when science and technology have made such great
progress. While there are countless structures that all have to be accounted for in a living body,
Darwinism cannot even account for how a single protein came into being. But Darwinists behave as if
they were unaware of all these impossibilities. This impossible formation in muddy water is still de-
scribed in evolutionist publications, much in the same way that people tell each other fairy tales. The
aim is to be able to deceive the public with this unscientific, illogical and also unproven account.
According to the adherents of this superstitious religion, the more people who believe in this nonsense,
the more people will fall under the spell of Darwinism.
But people no longer believe in Darwinists’ false tales. Everything in creation, the universe and all
within it, exhibit the sublime might and power of our Almighty Lord. In the Qur’an, our Almighty Lord
speaks of the sublime creation of the cell and man:
We created man from the purest kind of clay; then made him a drop in a secure receptacle; then formed the
drop into a clot and formed the clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in
flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators! (Surat al-
Muminun, 12-14)
No matter how much people who look for explanations outside the Qur’an try to provide facile ac-
counts for the glory on Earth, it is still an absolute and certain fact that these works created by Allah are
magnificent and glorious. There is no room for the theory of evolution in the face of this sublime cre-
ation. Almighty Allah describes the greatness of the works He creates in this verse:
The creation of the heavens and earth is far greater than the creation of mankind. But most of mankind do
not know it. (Qur’an, 40:57)
2. The claim that “natural selection causes evolution” is
a fraudulent one
Darwin proposed the concept of natural selection as a supposed “evolutionary mechanism” in the
1800s.
The idea of natural selection is based on the idea that the strongest or most powerful life forms, well
adapted to their natural surroundings will survive. For example, in a herd of zebra menaced by lions,
the zebras that run the fastest will survive.
Natural selection is certainly a mechanism observed among living things in nature. But it does not possess
the ability, as imagined by evolutionists, to bestow new features on life forms and thus create new species.
We can clarify this with an example: Let us imagine that in a certain geographical region there are two
similar kinds of dogs, one of which has significantly longer fur than the other. If the temperature in this re-
gion falls significantly for some ecological reason, then the longer haired dogs will be more resistant than
the shorter haired ones. As a result, the longer haired dogs will gradually come to have an advantage, mean-
ing that they will live longer, find food more easily and reproduce more successfully. After a while, the
number of shorter haired dogs will decrease considerably, and they will either migrate to warmer climates
or else become extinct. In other words, the longer haired dogs will be favored by natural selection and be
advantaged over the other kind.
