claims of Darwinism are totally unfounded, something that
has been stated by a large number of scientists. In the United
States in particular, many scientists from such different fields
as biology, biochemistry and paleontology recognize the in-
validity of Darwinism and employ the fact of Creation to ac-
count for the origin of life.
We have examined the collapse of the theory of evolution
and the proofs of Creation in great scientific detail in many
of our works, and are still continuing to do so. Given the
enormous importance of this subject, it will be of great bene-
fit to summarize it here.

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 living species on Earth separately, for he erro-

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 discov-
eries, which he expected to solve these difficulties. However,
contrary to his expectations, scientific findings expanded the
