scientists from such different fields as biology, biochemistry and
paleontology recognize the invalidity of Darwinism and employ
the fact of Creation to account for the origin of life.
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 im-
portance of this subject, it will be of great benefit to summarize
it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
As a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece, the
theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the nineteenth
century. The most important development that made it the top
topic of the world of science was Charles Darwin's The Origin of
Species, published in 1859. In this book, he opposed, in his own
eyes, the fact that Allah created different living species on Earth
separately, for he erroneously claimed that all living beings had
a common ancestor and had diversified over time through small
changes. Darwin's theory was not

an "assumption." Moreover, as
Darwin confessed in the long chapter
of his book titled "Difficulties on
Theory," 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 expectati-
