DEVOTED TO ALLAH

Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as
Homo erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo
sapiens neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (man)
co-existed in the same region. 17
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the
claim that they are ancestors of one another. Stephen Jay
Gould explained this deadlock of the theory of evolution al-
though he was himself one of the leading advocates of evo-
lution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lin-
eages of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines,
and H. habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover,
none of the three display any evolutionary trends during their
tenure on earth. 18
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is
"upheld" with the help of various drawings of some "half
ape, half human" creatures appearing in the media and
course books, that is, frankly, by means of propaganda, is
nothing but a tale with no scientific foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and re-
spected scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on
this subject for years and studied Australopithecus fossils for
15 years, finally concluded, despite being an evolutionist
himself, that there is, in fact, no such family tree branching
out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of sci-
ence" ranging from those he considered scientific to those he
considered unscientific. According to Zuckerman's spec-
trum, the most "scientific" – that is, depending on concrete
data – fields of science are chemistry and physics. After them
come the biological sciences and then the social sciences. At
