Darwinism and employ the fact of creation to account 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 enor-
mous importance of this subject, it will be of great benefit to
summarize it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
Although this doctrine goes 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 denied that Allah created different living species on
Earth separately, for he claimed that all living beings had a
common ancestor and had diversified over time through small
changes. Darwin's theory was not based on any concrete sci-
entific finding; as he also accepted, it was just an "assump-
tion." 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
dimensions of these difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in
the face of science can be reviewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
