22 THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM
When the Qur'an is viewed as a whole, it can clearly be seen
that none of the explanations proposed by those who defend the
idea of evolution have any validity whatsoever. Indeed, one of
our previous books, Why Darwinism is Incompatible with the
Qur'an, responds one by one to the claims of those Muslims who
support the idea of evolutionary creation, and has shown all their
claims to be completely groundless. (For further detail, see Harun
Yahya, Why Darwinism Is Incompatible with the Qur'an [Istanbul:
Global Publishing, March 2003])
Due to a lack of sufficient knowledge, some Muslims form
the mistaken impression that evolutionary creation might be pos-
sible. Yet when a sincere Muslim sees that he is on a wrong or mis-
taken path, he must abandon his error and turn towards the true
way. In the Qur'an, God tells us that:
…(Those who) do not knowingly persist in what they were
doing. (Surah Al 'Imran: 135)
Those who abide by the proper values revealed in this verse
must see how mistaken it is to Islamicize Darwinism and must
change their ways as soon as they arrive at that awareness. The
best indication of that change is to avoid offering Darwinism any
indirect support, to line up against it in a clear and unequivocal
manner, and to support intellectual struggles against it.
