all “creation”, that it will lead to man’s salvation and finally that his so-
called “sacred” purpose is to serve this process. In short, the supposed

evolutionary process is considered to be the supposed creator, as well
as a sacred purpose; or in other words, a deity to be worshiped in an
utterly foolish manner. (Surely Allah is beyond that.) However, the de-
velopments of the 20th century’s scientific world exposed Darwinist
claims as a fraud. Developments in the recent past in microbiology, bio-
chemistry, paleontology, genetics and anatomy have largely invalidat-
ed the evolutionary theory and revealed that life is the product of a
sublime mind, in other words, Almighty Allah. The claim that scientif-

ic developments would accelerate human evolution thus rendering
Divine religions unnecessary was exposed as fraudulent, as science
tend to confirm rather than disprove creation. Allah’s existence was
therefore revealed with clear evidence.
John Newport, honorary professor at the Theological Faculty of
the Southwestern Baptist University in Fort Worth, Texas, wrote in his
book titled The Worldview Crisis and the New Age Movement that the
thought that man could attain a supernatural spiritual status by his
own efforts was a fundamental lie of the New Age error. Newport says:

“It is all based on the same idea that we can become divine- We do not need
a Savior, we do not need the basic thing that is present in Christianity,” 165
This idea is of course an illogical one with no rational foundation.
Human beings are created weak and are in need of Allah. Man’s only
salvation lies in sincerely submitting to Allah and leading a life of
which He will approve.
Another commentary on the subject is put forth by the renowned

evolutionist Jeremy Rifkin, a fervent advocate of the New Age move-
ment. Rifkin sets out his illogical ideas in his book entitled “Algeny – A
New World”:
