SIGNS OF THE END TIMES IN SURAT AL-KAHF
The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
As a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece, the theory of
evolution was advanced extensively in the nineteenth century. The most
important development that made it the top topic of the world of science
was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, published in 1859. In this
book, he opposed, in his own eyes, the fact that Allah created different liv-
ing species on Earth separately, for he erroneously claimed that all living
beings had a common ancestor and had diversified over time through
small changes. Darwin's theory was not based on any concrete scientific
finding; as he also accepted, it was just an "assumption." Moreover, as
Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on
Theory," the theory failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which
he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his expecta-
tions, scientific findings expanded
the dimensions of these difficulties.
The defeat of Darwinism in the face
of science can be reviewed under
three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain
how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows
that the "evolutionary mechanisms"
proposed by the theory have any
evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the
exact opposite of what the theory
suggests.
In this section, we will exam-
ine these three basic points in gen-
eral outlines:
