THE QUR'AN LEADS THE W A Y TO SCIENCE

in the hope of proving these scenarios. As another renowned evolutionist
scientist, Pierre Paul Grassé, said, regarding these evolutionary scenarios,
"There is no law against daydreaming, but science must not indulge in
it." 23
Science will continue to hopelessly pursue such myths, as long as

scientists base their studies on incorrect hypotheses such as Darwinism.
The acknowledgment of the reality of creation, on the other hand, will put
an end to all these vain endeavors, which inhibit the progress of science.
As we have mentioned earlier, all living things were created
individually by God. Their physical characteristics, feeding habits,
hunting techniques, defense tactics, the way they foster their young etc.,
all reflect perfect harmonies. There is no point in claiming and trying to
prove that these harmonies could have come about by chance. This
perfection could not have come into being haphazardly; it could only
have come about through the power and control of our Lord, the supreme
Creator. Therefore, it would be much more worthwhile to investigate
verifiable realities and their details, rather than producing completely
imaginary scenarios. Most importantly, research with such an intent
would help us to better know God, the Almighty, Who created human
beings and the entire universe from nothing.

Mutation Impasse
Another assertion of the evolutionary theory which has wasted the
science's time, was the delusive pursuit for "beneficial mutations".
Mutations are changes that take place in the genetic code of an organism
through the effect of radiation or chemicals. Though evolutionists claim

that living things evolved through mutations, mutations are almost
always harmful, and do not have an effect other than causing disorders in
organisms. The radiation leakage in Chernobyl is an indication of the
harmful effects of mutation. In the aftermath of this disaster, many people
suffered illnesses such as leukemia, and serious disorders such as birth
abnormalities.
Despite the negative effects of mutation, neo-Darwinism has put forth
two concepts as "evolutionary mechanisms", one of which is mutation.
