even though the project clearly required scientists to use the principles of evolution in their analyses and
writing. 134 In other words, a scientist was officially excommunicated for denying the theory of evolu-
tion. The fact that the subject achieved prominence as the result of a suit brought by Nathaniel Abraham
in 2007 definitely stems from people finding the courage to stand up to the Darwinist dictatorship.

Phillip Johnson relates the story that in 1981, the British Museum of Natural History celebrated its
centennial with an exhibition on Darwin’s theory of evolution.

A sign at the entrance read: “Have you ever wondered why there are so many different kinds of living
things? One idea is that all the living things we see today have evolved from a distant ancestor by a process
of gradual change. How could evolution have occurred? How could one species change into another? The

exhibition in this hall looks at one possible explanation – the explanation of Charles Darwin.”

An adjacent sign read: “Another view is that God created all living things perfect and unchanging.” An ac-

companying brochure admitted, “the concept of evolution by natural selection is not, strictly speaking, sci-
entific.”"

The response from the scientific community was outrage. An editorial in the journal, Nature, asked rhetori-
cally: “Can it be that the managers of the museum, which is the nearest thing to a citadel of Darwinism, have
lost their nerve, not to mention their good sense? … Nobody disputes that, in the public presentation of sci-
ence, it is proper whenever appropriate to say that disputed matters are in doubt. But is the theory of evo-
lution still an open question among serious biologists? And if not, what purpose, except general confusion,

can be served by these weasel words?” 135

That is the technique of the Darwinist dictatorship. Words written against the theory of evolution
are heralded as “aggression,” and the appropriate measures are immediately taken under the influence
of Darwinist scientist and globally respected journals. Under pressure from the Darwinist dictatorship
all anti-Darwinist statements are hurriedly silenced.

This despotism of course serves one single purpose. It is essential for Darwinists to portray the the-
ory of evolution as a proven one and thus spread it across the world. They imagine that they can do this
by keeping the fact of Creation from people, by never mentioning the fact that Allah created all things
and by indoctrinating people with evolution alone. But there is another fact that Darwinists have never

considered. There is no need for people to be educated in order to see and realize that living things are
created. Anyone who uses his reason just a little can clearly see that there is something extraordinary, a
perfection, intelligence, consciousness, artistry and glory in life. And he will also conclude that all these
could never come into being as the result of unconscious, unthinking and unaware coincidences bereft

of any ability to think, reason, reflect, make judgment or distinguish between right and wrong. It is not
hard for someone who thinks for such a few seconds to realize all this. Allah reveals in verses that the
miracles He creates are obvious to people who think:

In the heavens and earth there are certainly Signs for the believers. And in your creation and all the creatures
He has spread about there are Signs for people with certainty. And in the alternation of night and day
and the provision Allah sends down from the sky, bringing the earth to life by it after it has died, and the
varying direction of the winds, there are Signs for people who use their intellect. (Qur’an, 45:3-5)

Darwinists have actually begun to realize that the measures they have taken are all in vain. The con-
ditioning they used to maintain with oppressive methods and false evidence will have no effect on the

more aware people around today.
Jonathan Wells says that an increasing number of scientists have begin doubting Darwinism and have set
about making their voices heard:

The truth is that a surprising number of biologists quietly doubt or reject some of the grander claims of
Darwinian evolution. But – at least in America – they must keep their mouths shut or risk condemnation,

marginalization, and eventual expulsion from the scientific community. This happens infrequently, but of-
ten enough to remind everyone that the risk is real. Even so, there is a growing underground of biologists
