150 THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM

Darwinism with evidence. It is impossible to defeat Darwinism
on an intellectual basis using any other tactics, though it is easy to

and helpless attitude, for defeatism, hesitation or unease, there-

ous intellectual campaign against Darwinism in a manner befit-
ting a true Muslim. In the same way that the staff of the Prophet
Moses (pbuh) swallowed up all the sorcerers' trickery, the evi-
dence put forward will neutralize all the deceptions of
Darwinism:
We revealed to Musa, "Throw down your staff." And [in the
form of a serpent] it immediately swallowed up what they
[Pharoah's magicians] had forged. So the Truth took place
and what they did was shown to be false. (Surat al-A'raf:
117-118)

Qur'an, the truth will emerge and the deniers will suffer a terrible
defeat.
