Yet this propaganda cannot conceal the truth. The fact that the theory of
evolution is the greatest deception in the history of science has been
expressed more and more in the scientific world over the last 20-30 years.
Research 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 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 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 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 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 theory failed in
the face of many critical questions.
