154         THE DEBASED CULTURE OF SUPERFICIALITY



                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 create an apparatus of investi-
                gation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations,
                no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to
                the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so we
                cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. 19
               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 cre-
            ated life. 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 contin-
            ue to defend it just so as “not to allow a Divine Foot in the
            door.”
               Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings
            with a materialist prejudice will see 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 cre-
            ated the whole universe from non-existence, designed it in
            the most perfect form, and fashioned all living beings.
