                          THE EVOLUTION MISCONCEPTION


          accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the con-
          trary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to
          create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce
          material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how
          mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so
          we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.  20
          These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept alive
         just for the sake of adherence to the materialist philosophy. This
         dogma maintains that there is no being save matter. Therefore, it ar-
         gues that inanimate, unconscious matter created life. It insists that
         millions of different living species; for instance, birds, fish, giraffes,
         tigers, insects, trees, flowers, whales and human beings originated as
         a result of the interactions between matter such as the pouring rain,
         the lightning flash, etc., out of inanimate matter. This is a precept con-
         trary both to reason and science. Yet Darwinists continue to defend it
         just so as "not to allow a Divine Foot in the door."
          Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a ma-
         terialist prejudice will see this evident truth: All living beings are
         works of a Creator, Who is All-Powerful, All-Wise and All-Knowing.
         This Creator is Allah, Who created the whole universe from non-exis-
         tence, designed it in the most perfect form, and fashioned all living
         beings.


          The Theory of Evolution
          is the Most Potent Spell in the World
          It needs to be made clear that anyone free of prejudice and the in-
         fluence of any particular ideology, who uses only his reason and
         logic, will clearly understand that belief in the theory of evolution,
         which brings to mind the superstitions of societies with no knowl-
         edge of science or civilization, is quite impossible.
          As has been explained above, those who believe in the theory of
