The American paleontologist S. M. Stanley describes how the Darwinist dictatorship that dominates
the scientific world ignores and conceals this fact revealed by the fossil record:

The known fossil record is not, and never has been, in accord with gradualism. What is remarkable is that,
through a variety of historical circumstances, even the history of opposition has been obscured… "The ma-
jority of paleontologists felt their evidence simply contradicted Darwin's stress on minute, slow, and cumu-

lative changes leading to species transformation."... [but] their story has been suppressed. 28

But no matter how much they try to keep it hushed up, one fact can no longer be concealed: there
are millions of living fossils. Darwin’s theory of evolution is currently in a state of total ruin in the face
of the facts revealed by the fossil record. Scientific findings have demolished Darwinism. Darwinists
cannot conceal these fossils that prove the fact of Creation. The facts are out in the open and the collapse
of Darwinism has been revealed by the fossil record, once Darwinism’s greatest foundation.

The Darwinist ploy has failed. The fossils that Darwinism expected would confirm the theory have
actually, by Allah’s leave and will, put an end to it. People have thus seen the truth that Allah creates
all living things from nothing. Once they have seen this, no contrary claim can have any value or effect.

Almighty Allah has destined the system of the antichrist to collapse. This can be irrefutably seen by one
and all. Our Almighty Lord reveals in verses how He has created all things from nothing:
How can you reject Allah, when you were dead and then He gave you life, then He will make you die and

then give you life again, then you will be returned to Him? It is He Who created everything on the Earth for
you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens. He has knowl-
edge of all things. (Qur’an, 2:28-29)

6. The concealment of Cambrian fossils for 70 years is a deception

The Cambrian Period is one of the oldest in natural history and took place 543 to 490 million years
ago. Prior to that, life consisted of single-celled organisms and a few multi-celled organisms, but during
this period, the whole extraordinary variety of life emerged suddenly, in perfect, fully formed states. All
of these life forms had extraordinarily complex features, totally unlike previous life forms, and very sim-

ilar to living things today. This means that the Cambrian Period deals another deadly blow to the theo-
ry of evolution.
The fossils of Cambrian Period life forms provide specimens of 55 different phyla, including those
in existence today. (Phylum: the largest category after the “world” in the classification of living things

according to their basic physical characteristics.) To put it another way, present-day living things and
an even wider variety, were in existence with all their perfect basic physical structures 540 million years
ago. (The current number of phyla is 35.) Cambrian life forms are identical to present-day living things
that exhibit a flawless complexity. This repudiates Darwin’s fictitious evolutionary tree, and overturns

the false mechanisms which have been proposed for this mythical process. According to Darwin’s the-
ory of evolution, following the formation of the first cell, supposedly by chance, single-celled organisms
must have ruled the world. After that, the active life that began with simple-structured multi-celled or-
ganisms must continue in the form of a single, water dwelling phylum. The number of phyla should in-

crease gradually, and the number of species should grow in proportion. But the reality revealed by the
Cambrian findings is very different. Things happened in the exact reverse to Darwin’s imaginary evo-
lutionary tree, with a greater diversity than that in existence today appearing right from the beginning
of natural history, immediately after single-celled organisms. (For details see The Cambrian Evidence

That Darwin Failed to Comprehend, Harun Yahya)
It will certainly be devastating for someone utterly devoted to Darwinist ideology to discover this.
As one of the most loyal followers of this heretical religion Charles Doolittle Walcott, a paleontologist
and also director of the Smithsonian Institute, one of the best-known museums in the United States, was

appalled by the diversity in the Cambrian fossils he began discovering in 1909. During his research,
