Biomimetics: Technology Imitates Nature

demolishes the funda-
mental idea of the theory
of evolution, according to
which organisms ad-
vance gradually, from the
simple towards the com-
plex. If a system can serve
no purpose before it
reaches its final form,
there is no logical reason
for it to maintain its exis-
tence over millions of
years, while it refines and
completes itself. A species
can survive down the
generations only if all its
systems are present. No
components of a system
can afford the luxury of
hoping to complete their
alleged evolution over
time. This clearly proves that when living things first appeared on Earth,
they were created with all their structures developed and fully formed, as
they are today.
God brought animals and all other living things into being through
His superior creation. News of this creation is given in a verse:
And He created livestock. There is warmth for you in them, and

various uses and some you eat. (Qur’an, 16: 5)
