all this without feeling any need for an eye, an ear, and a nose. To whom does
this consciousness belong? Of course it does not belong to the nerves, the fat
layer, and neurons comprising the brain. This is why Darwinist-materialists,
who believe that everything is comprised of matter, cannot answer these
questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah, which needs neither
the eye to watch the images nor the ear to hear the sounds. Furthermore, it
does not need the brain to think.
Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should ponder on
Almighty Allah, and fear and seek refuge in Him, for He squeezes the entire

universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cubic centimeters 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 incompatible with scientific findings. The theory's claim regarding
the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the evolutionary mechanisms it
proposes have no evolutionary power, and fossils demonstrate that the
required intermediate forms have never existed. So, it certainly follows that the
theory of evolution 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 kept on the agenda of science. Some
people even try to represent criticisms directed against it as an "attack on

science." Why?
The reason is that this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief for some
circles. These circles are blindly devoted to materialist philosophy and adopt
Darwinism because it is the only materialist explanation that can be put
forward to explain 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
accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the
contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to
