carried out after the 1980s in particular has revealed that
the claims of Darwinism are totally unfounded, something
that has been stated by a large number of scientists. In the
United States in particular, many scientists from such dif-
ferent 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 evolu-
tion 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
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 develop-
ment 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 com-
mon 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." Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the long
chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on Theory," the the-
ory failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific dis-
coveries, which he expected to solve these difficulties.
