260 LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

is very strong evidence that all living things are created. . The only ex-
planation of a living species emerging instantaneously and completely
in every detail without any evolutionary ancestor is that it was cre-
ated. This fact is admitted also by the widely-known evolutionist bi-
ologist Douglas Futuyma:
Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations for
the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully de-
veloped or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed from pre-ex-
isting species by some process of modification. If they did appear in a fully
developed state, they must indeed have been created by some omnipotent intel-
ligence. (Douglas J. Futuyma, Science on Trial, Pantheon Books, New York,
1983, p. 197)
Today, there are 700 million unearthed fossils. All these fossils
reveal that living beings emerged fully developed and in a perfect
state on the Earth. It is as if the fossils are saying “We did not evolve
through evolutionary processes.” That means, contrary to Darwin’s
supposition, “the origin of species” cannot be explained by evolution,
but is explained by creation.

THE TALE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION

The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim
holds that man evolved from so-called ape-like creatures. During this
alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started four
to five million years ago, some “transitional forms” between man and
his imaginary ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to
this completely imaginary scenario, four basic “categories” are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
