ANSWERS FROM THE QUR'AN
foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected
scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for
years and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally con-
cluded, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact,
no such family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" rang-
ing from those he considered scientific to those he considered un-
scientific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most
"scientific"-that is, depending on concrete data-fields of science are
chemistry and physics. After them come the biological sciences and
then the social sciences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the
part considered to be most "unscientific," are "extra-sensory percep-
tion"-concepts such as telepathy and sixth sense-and finally
"human evolution." Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those
fields of presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or
the interpretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolu-
tionist] anything is possible - and where the ardent believer [in evolu-
tion] is sometimes able to believe several contradictory things at the
same time. 19
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the prej-
udiced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by certain people,
who blindly adhere to their theory.

Darwinian Formula!

Besides all the technical evidence we have dealt with so far, let
us now for once, examine what kind of a superstition the evolution-
ists have with an example so simple as to be understood even by
children:
The theory of evolution asserts that life is formed by chance.
According to this irrational claim, lifeless and unconscious atoms
came together to form the cell and then they somehow formed other
