The Dark Danger
cians lost all credibility. In the present day too, unless those who,
under the influence of a similar spell believe in these ridiculous
claims of evolution under their scientific disguise and spend their
lives defending them, abandon their superstitious beliefs, they also
will be humiliated when the full truth emerges and the spell is bro-
ken. In fact, world-renowned British writer and philosopher Mal-
colm Muggeridge, who was an atheist advocating the theory of evo-
lution for some sixty years, but who subsequently realized the truth,
reveals the position in which the theory of evolution would find
itself in the near future in these terms:
I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially
the extent to which it's been applied, will be one of the great
jokes in the history books in the future. Posterity will marvel
that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted
with the incredible credulity that it has. (Malcolm Muggeridge,
The End of Christendom, Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1980, p. 43)
That future is not far off: On the contrary, people will soon see
that "coincidences" are not a deity, and will look back on the theory
of evolution as the worst deceit and the most terrible spell in the
world. That spell is now rapidly beginning to be lifted from people
all over the world. Many people who see its true face are wondering
with amazement how they could ever have been taken in by it.
They said, 'Glory be to You! We have no
knowledge except what You have taught us.
You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.'
(Qur'an, 2:32)
