Another problem in the fictitious evolution of the horse is that of dating. Doctor Nicholas
Comninellis comments:

An additional challenge to the proposal of horse evolution is that the timing is inconsistent. The theory of
evolution is based on the concept that one species is prone to evolve into another because it is better adapt-
ed for survival. This leads to extinction of the first species. In the case of horses, the three-toed must not have

been as hearty as the one-toed. Evolution demands millions of years for transition to occur between species—
plenty of time for the first species to die out.

However, today we know that the three-toed and one-toed horses lived together in North America. The fact

that varieties of horses co-existed is completely inconsistent with evolution’s explanation. Add to this the
fact that missing links between Hyracotherium, Miohippus, and Equus have never been identified.
Rather than lending support for evolution, the history of the horse is more consistent with special creation—

fully formed beings that were created simultaneously. 78
Although the invalidity of the evolution of the horse has been brought out into the open day and

Darwinists have admitted this state of affairs, this mythical sequence is still used, like other Darwinist
frauds, in Darwinist publications and text books. The evolutionary series is depicted as concrete fact and
placed on display in museums of natural history curated by world-famous paleontologists and scien-
tists. Dr. Niles Eldredge, an evolutionist paleontologist and the director of the world-renowned

American Museum of Natural History, admitted some 20 years ago that evolutionist claims regarding
the horse series on display in his own museum were based solely upon their powers of imagination.
Eldredge also criticized the way that this speculative series was portrayed as scientific fact to such an
extent as to find its way into school books:

I admit that an awful lot of that [imaginary stories] has gotten into the textbooks as though it were true. For
instance, the most famous example on horse evolution prepared perhaps fifty years ago. That has been pre-
sented as literal truth in textbook after textbook. Now I think that is lamentable, particularly because the peo-
ple who propose these kinds of stories themselves may be aware of the speculative nature of some of the
stuff. But by the time it filters down to the textbooks, we’ve got science as truth and we’ve got a problem. 79

The Darwinist Eldredge's analysis is a most accurate one. Since deliberate distortions represent the

essence of the system of the antichrist, those who espouse this system resort to deceptions too. All the
examples of Darwinist deception listed above have been exposed, and their false nature has even been
admitted to by Darwinist scientists. These examples are sufficient to show the true face of the system of
the antichrist. But it will still be useful to issue the following reminder: the Theory of Evolution,

Darwinist ideology in other words, is built on a lie intended to deny the existence of Allah. Therefore,
all the claims, suggestions and evidence produced by Darwinism are false. All the statements to the ef-
fect that “proof of evidence has been discovered,” “living things evolved,” “or “human beings and chim-
panzees are descended from a common ancestor” are lies. Darwinists espouse a lie. Their illogical obe-

dience and devotion to the system of the antichrist is blind devotion to the religion of Darwinism, sole-
ly in order to be able to oppose belief in Allah.
The fact is that they espouse a superstition, a terrible error. Almighty Allah, the Lord and Creator of
All, says in His verses:

If anyone desires anything other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the
Hereafter he will be among the losers. (Qur’an, 3:85)

Everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth belong to Allah. Those who call on something other than
Allah are not really following their partner-gods. They are only following conjecture. They are only guess-

ing. (Qur’an, 10:66)
