The Deception of Evolution

We have examined the collapse of the theory of evolution and
the proofs of creation in great scientific detail in many of our works,
and are still continuing to do so. Given the enormous importance of
this subject, it will be of great benefit to summarize it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece, the
theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the nineteenth cen-
t u r y. The most important development that made it the top topic of
the world of science was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, pub-
lished in 1859. In this book, he denied that Allah created diff e rent liv-
ing species on Earth separately, for he claimed that all living beings
had a common ancestor and had diversified over time through small
changes. Darwin's theory was not based on any concrete scientific
finding; as he also accepted, it was just an "assumption." More o v e r, as
Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on
T h e o r y," the theory failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries,
which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his
expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these dif-
ficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be re-
viewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mecha-
nisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil re c o rd proves the exact opposite of what the theory
s u g g e s t s .
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in gen-
eral outlines:
