CONCLUSION
T hroughout this book we have examined the scientific evidence for
the origin of life, and what emerges clearly demonstrates that life
was not the result of chance, as claimed by Darwinism and
materialist philosophy in general. Living species could not have
evolved from one another through a string of coincidences. On the
contrary, all living things were independently and flawlessly created. As
the twenty-first century dawns, science offers but one answer to the
question of the origin of life: Creation.
The important thing is that science has confirmed the truth which
religion has been witness to from the dawn of history to the present day.
Allah created the universe and all the living things in it from nothing. And
it was Allah Who created man from nothing and blessed him with
countless characteristics. This truth has been sent down to man since the
dawn of time by prophets, and revealed in holy books. Every prophet has
told the communities to whom he was sent that Allah created man and all
living things. The Bible and the Qur'an all tell of the news of creation in the
same way.
In the Qur'an, Allah announces in a number of verses that it was He
Who created the universe and all the living things in it from nothing, and
flawlessly ordered them. In this verse, it is declared that creation belongs
to Him:
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six
days and then settled Himself firmly on the Throne. He covers the
day with the night, each pursuing the other urgently; and the sun
and moon and stars are subservient to His command. Both creation
and command belongs to Him. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of all the
worlds. (Surat al-A‘raf: 54)
Just as Allah created everything that exists, so he created the world we
live in today, and made it capable of supporting life. This fact is revealed in
certain verses:
