place much more rarely than the letter errors that would occur during the type-
setting of a book.)
Every "explanation" put forward by the theory of evolution on the origin of
life is unreasonable and unscientific. One outspoken authority on this issue is
the famous French zoologist Pierre Grassé, the former president of the French
Academy of Sciences. Grassé is also an evolutionist, but he states clearly that
Darwinist theory is unable to explain life and makes his point about the logic of
"coincidence", which is the backbone of Darwinism:
The opportune appearance of mutations permitting animals and plants to
meet their needs seems hard to believe. Yet the Darwinian theory is even
more demanding: A single plant, a single animal would require thousands
and thousands of lucky, appropriate events. Thus, miracles would become
the rule: events with an infinitesimal probability could not fail to occur…
There is no law against daydreaming, but science must not indulge in it. 4
Indeed, the theory of evolution, which claims that inorganic matter came
together by itself and formed living beings with such glorious systems as DNA,
is a scenario totally contrary to science and reason. All this leads us to an evi-
dent conclusion. Since life has a plan (DNA) and all living beings are fashioned
according to this plan, it is evident that there is a superior Creator Who devised
this plan. This simply means that all living beings are created by God, the All-
Powerful, All-Wise. God states this fact in the Qur'an in this way:
He is God – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the
Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him.
He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr: 24)
Today, what people have achieved by means of technology can at best be
described as 'an approach to the understanding of a tiny fragment of God's
knowledge, as manifested in human DNA.'
On the other hand, the theory of evolution which tries to explain the origin
of life as a series of coincidences, loses all validity in face of the question: "How
then, did DNAoriginate?"
