196 THE MIRACLE OF THE HONEYBEE

swallowed up what they had forged. So the Truth took place and what
they did was shown to be false. (Surat al-A'raf: 117-118)
As we can see, when people realized that a spell had been cast upon
them and that what they saw was just an illusion, Pharaoh's magicians
lost all credibility. In the present day too, unless those who, under the in-
fluence of a similar spell, believe in these ridiculous claims under their sci-
entific disguise and spend their lives defending them, abandon their
superstitious beliefs, they also will be humiliated when the full truth
emerges and the spell is broken. In fact, world-renowned British writer
and philosopher Malcolm Muggeridge, who was an atheist defending
evolution for some 60 years, but who subsequently realized the truth, re-
veals the position in which the theory of evolution would find itself in the
near future in these terms:
I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to
which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books in the
future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis
could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has. 173
That future is not far off: On the contrary, people will soon see that
"chance" is not a deity, and will look back on the theory of evolution as the
worst deceit and the most terrible spell in the world. That spell is already
rapidly beginning to be lifted from the shoulders of people all over the
world. Many people who see its true face are wondering with amazement
how they could ever have been taken in by it.

They said, "Glory be to You!
We have no knowledge except
what You have taught us. You are
the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
(Surat al-Baqara, 32)
