calculation was performed by the Israeli
biophysicist Lee Spetner, who concluded
that, according to population genetics data,
it is impossible in practical terms for one
species to evolve into another. 2
But evolutionists deal not with realistic
calculations like this, but with imaginary
scenarios. Due to their blind belief in the
existence of evolution, they make do with
asking, “Which scenario?” and seek to
answer that question with the help of their
imaginations. They interpret the fact that
bird feathers have colors by saying “Bright-
er colors are encouraged through natural
selection.” They explain the fact that some
birds have drabber colors by saying that
they are drab because natural selection
made drabness an advantage in avoiding
the notice of predators. One can come up
with explanations for anything in terms of
natural selection, yet these will be solely
imaginary. Therefore, the theory of evolu-
tion is not scientific, but a dogmatic mode
of interpretation. Anyone who does not con-
dition himself with Darwinist preconcep-
tions and approaches the issue with reason
and logic will easily realize that the extraor-
dinary signs of creation in living things can-
not be the products of unconscious natural
mechanisms, but reveal the infinite might
and artistry of Almighty Allah.
