There is a kind of evolution defense lobby in particular. They are mostly atheists. But they are desperately
wanting to be friendly to mainstream sensible religious people. And the way you do that is to tell them that
there is no incompatibility between evolution and religion. 158

But the fact is that evolution is in no way compatible with religion. Even though Darwinists do not
themselves believe in Allah, and make a god out of chance (surely Allah is beyond that), are totally op-
posed to the fact of creation and are engaged in a struggle against it, they suddenly become the greatest

exponents of the false concept that Allah created the universe through evolution. Yet because of their
blind devotion to materialism, Darwinists never accept belief in Allah. Being a Darwinist means reject-
ing belief in Allah. The only reason why someone supports this pagan religion, devoid of any scientific

evidence, that deifies chance, is to be able to deny the existence of Allah (surely Allah is beyond that).
And there is nothing that Darwinists will not do to turn people away from belief in Allah.
That is why people must always be on their guard against this deception!
In his documentary Expelled: "No Intelligence Allowed," which explains how Darwinism is a false re-
ligion based on indoctrination, the journalist Larry Witham makes the following statement:

Implicit in most evolutionary theories is that either there is no God or God can’t have anything, any role in
it (God is beyond that). So naturally as many evolutionists say it is the strongest engine for atheism. 159

So even though Darwinists definitively oppose belief in Allah, they still play this unpleasant trick
on people. But the people who believe in this nasty deception fail to consider the fact that Almighty
Allah is certainly powerful enough to create all things by a variety of means. Had He wished, our Lord
could have created living things by way of evolution. But He did not. All living things came into being

on Earth in a single moment, created from nothing.
Not a single verse of the Qur’an points to evolution. According to the Qur’an, the universe and all
living things were created by Allah commanding them to “Be!” Allah has revealed, with all the Divine
religions He has sent to man, that He created the entire universe, that He created it with a single com-

mand and that he creates in the form He wishes. Indeed, when we look at the evidence on Earth, we see
that creation took place just as described in the Qur’an. The fossils of all life forms are perfect. They
emerged suddenly, with perfect appearances, and never changed thereafter. Living things never
changed over millions of years. There is no chance of life emerging from inanimate matter. It is impos-

sible for even a single protein to form spontaneously. The idea of extraordinarily complex life forms
turning into one another is totally unscientific. There is no mechanism that can endow a life form with
new, beneficial information. Science has revealed with incontrovertible and certain evidence that all liv-
ing things possess a glorious complexity, right down to their proteins and even atoms, that they ap-

peared in a single moment and that they never turned into one another. Therefore, the idea
that Allah created through evolution is a monstrous lie, and part of the Darwinist deception.

with the Qur’an)

Everything created is evidence of Allah’s infinite might. Allah tells us of this sub-
lime creation in many verses of the Qur’an:
[Allah is] the Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on something, He just

says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is. (Qur’an, 2:117)

The likeness of ‘Isa in Allah’s Sight is the same as Adam. He created him from earth and
then He said to him, ‘Be!’ and he was. (Qur’an, 3:59)

It is He Who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The day He says ‘Be!’ it is. His
speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the Day the Trumpet is blown, the Knower

of the Unseen and the Visible. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (Qur’an, 6:73)
Our Word to a thing when We desire it is just to say to it ‘Be!’ and it is. (Qur’an, 16:40)
