We had mentioned earlier that it is now thought that
Allah created the universe in the big bang. The whole
universe, planets, stars and our own earth were formed
after this enormous explosion.
To begin with, there were no livings beings on our
planet, but then Allah created all living things on earth;
birds, insects, trees, flowers, fish, tigers, butterflies,
elephants and giraffes etc.
Well, do you know when the first living creatures
appeared? This happened during the period called the
Cambrian about 500 million years ago. The first
creatures that lived during this period were ones like
snails, worms and starfish. The creatures that lived
during the Cambrian period also prove that the theory
of evolution is completely wrong. How come?
These creatures appeared all of a sudden during the
Cambrian period. Before them, no other living beings
existed on the planet. The fact that these creatures
appeared out of nowhere and all of a sudden is proof
that Allah created them in an instant. If the theory
proposed by evolutionists were right, then these
creatures must have evolved gradually from simpler
ancestors. However, these creatures have neither
ancestors nor any transitional forms that lived before
them. No fossil hunter (palaeontologist) has ever come
across such a transitional form. Fossils show us that
these creatures—just like all other living beings—
suddenly appeared during the Cambrian period, without
any features missing, and with no ancestors from whom
they evolved. That is, Allah created them. Furthermore,
these creatures that lived during the Cambrian period
