inside the retina are so complex that they can only be explained with pages
full of formulae and diagrams.
The theory of evolution is unable to account for the emergence of
even such a flawless and complex structure as a single eye by means of
"accident," let alone life itself, or mankind.
So, what do these extraordinary features in living things prove to us
about the origin of life? As we made clear in the opening part of this book,
only two different accounts can be given regarding the origin of life. One
is the fallacious evolutionary explanation, the other the evident “fact of
creation.” As explained throughout the book, the evolution claim is
impossible, and scientific discoveries prove the truth of creation. This
truth may surprise some scientists, who from the nineteenth century to the
present have seen the concept of "creation" as unscientific, but science can
only progress by overcoming shocks of this kind and accepting the truth.
Chandra Wickramasinghe describes the reality he faced as a scientist who
had been told throughout his life that life had emerged as a result of
chance coincidences:
From my earliest training as a scientist, I was very strongly brainwashed to
believe that science cannot be consistent with any kind of deliberate creation.
That notion has had to be painfully shed. At the moment, I can't find any
rational argument to knock down
the view which argues for
conversion to Allah. We used to
have an open mind; now we
realize that the only logical
answer to life is creation - and not
accidental random shuffling. 274
