mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so

These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept alive just for

the sake of adherence to materialism. This dogma maintains that there is no
being save matter. Therefore, it argues that inanimate, unconscious matter
brought life into being. It insists that millions of different living species (e.g.,
birds, fish, giraffes, tigers, insects, trees, flowers, whales, and human beings)
originated as a result of the interactions between matter such as pouring rain,
lightning flashes, and so on, out of inanimate matter. This is a precept contrary
both to reason and science. Yet Darwinists continue to ignorantly defend it just
so as not to acknowledge, in their own eyes, the evident existence of Allah.
Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a materialist
prejudice sees 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-existence, designed it in the most perfect form,
and fashioned all living beings.

The Theory of Evolution: The Most Potent Spell in the

World

Anyone free of prejudice and the influence of any particular ideology, who
uses only his or her reason and logic, will clearly understand that belief in the
theory of evolution, which brings to mind the superstitions of societies with no
knowledge of science or civilization, is quite impossible.
As explained above, those who believe in the theory of evolution think
that a few atoms and molecules thrown into a huge vat could produce
thinking, reasoning professors and university students; such scientists as
Einstein and Galileo; such artists as Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra and
Luciano Pavarotti; as well as antelopes, lemon trees, and carnations. Moreover,
as the scientists and professors who believe in this nonsense are educated
people, it is quite justifiable to speak of this theory as "the most potent spell in
history." Never before has any other belief or idea so taken away peoples'

powers of reason, refused to allow them to think intelligently and logically, and
hidden the truth from them as if they had been blindfolded. This is an even
