These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept
alive just for the sake of adherence to materialism. This dogma main-
tains that there is no being save matter. Therefore, it argues that inan-

different living species (e.g., birds, fish, giraffes, tigers, insects, trees,
flowers, whales, and human beings) originated as a result of the in-

so on, out of inanimate matter. This is a precept contrary both to rea-
son and science. Yet Darwinists continue to defend it just so as "not
to allow a Divine Foot in the door."
Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a
materialist prejudice will see this evident truth: All living beings are
works of a Creator, Who is All-Powerful, All-Wise, and All-Knowing.
This Creator is Allah, Who created the whole universe from non-exis-
tence, designed it in the most perfect form, and fashioned all living
beings.

duce thinking, reasoning professors and university students; such sci-
entists as Einstein and Galileo; such artists as Humphrey Bogart, Frank
Sinatra and Luciano Pavarotti; as well as antelopes, lemon trees, and
