PERFECTED FAITH

Furthermore, nor does it need the brain to think.
Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should ponder
on Almighty Allah, should fear Him and seek refuge in Him, He Who
squeezes the entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cubic cen-
timetres in a three-dimensional, colored, shadowy, and luminous
form.

A Materialist Faith
The information we have presented so far shows us that the theory
of evolution is a claim evidently at variance with scientific findings.
The theory's claim on the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the
evolutionary mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power,
and fossils demonstrate that the intermediate forms required by the
theory never existed. So, it certainly follows that the theory of evolu-
tion should be pushed aside as an unscientific idea. This is how many
ideas such as the earth-centered universe model have been taken out
of the agenda of science throughout history.
However, the theory of evolution is pressingly kept on the agenda
of science. Some people even try to represent criticisms directed
against the theory as an "attack on science." Why?
The reason is that the theory of evolution is an indispensable dog-
matic belief for some circles. These circles are blindly devoted to ma-
terialist philosophy and adopt Darwinism because it is the only
materialist explanation that can be put forward for the workings of
nature.
Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to time. A
well known geneticist and an outspoken evolutionist, Richard C.
Lewontin from Harvard University, confesses that he is "first and
foremost a materialist and then a scientist":
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us
