Turkey, materialists have suffered a serious set-back from the collapse of the
                       theory of evolution, which they supposed to be the basis of their philosophy.
                       Now they have begun to understand that they have lost a more important
                       support than Darwinism—matter itself. For this reason they are now saying
                       that, from their point of view, this issue is a very serious danger which causes

                       their cultural fabric to be totally shredded.
                           In fact, this points to a promise revealed to human beings by God in the
                       Koran. Where truth is plain, false ideas are bound to perish:

                           Say: "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is always
                           bound to vanish." (Surat al-Isra': 81)
                           Rather We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts right through it
                           and it vanishes clean away! Woe without end for you for what you
                           portray! (Surat al-Anbiya': 18)

                           Materialism and those who have espoused it throughout history use
                       matter as a pretext to rebel against God, Who created them from nothing, gave
                       them life and created the universe for them to live in. Asking such superficial
                       and ignorant questions as "If matter exists, where is God in it?", they deny the

                       existence of God and exert much effort to get others to deny Him. Today they
                       see one of their most important supports destroyed; the reality described here
                       has ripped their philosophy up from its roots and left no possibility for further
                       discussion. The matter on which they had based all their ideas, their lives, their
                       arrogance and their denial has slipped from their hands in an instant.
                           Throughout history, materialists have left a heritage of denial and
                       methods of denial. For example, many materialists today use the words of
                       Lenin quoted above and urge their associates not to listen to or read about this
                       reality. However, the fact that science has clearly explained the nature of

                       matter, together with the fact that it is so easy to use technology such as the
                       internet to diffuse this information throughout the world, has brought their
                       efforts to nothing. Individuals are reading about this reality, learning about it
                       and coming to understand it. Those who have accepted materialism until
                       recently as the most valid worldview now are very surprised to learn the real
                       truth about matter and life in this world. This is an extraordinary trap that God
                       has set for the deniers. No matter how deniers throughout history have set

                       traps with their foolish minds for true religion deviantly making material idols
