PART VI: "THE EVOLUTION DECEIT"
PART VI: "THE EVOLUTION DECEIT"

arwinism, in other words the theory of evolution, was put forward with
D the aim of denying the fact of creation, but is in truth nothing but

failed, unscientific nonsense. This theory, which claims that life
emerged by chance from inanimate matter, was invalidated by the scientific evi-
dence of miraculous order in the universe and in living things. In this way, sci-
ence confirmed the fact that Allah created the universe and the living things in
it. The propaganda carried out today in order to keep the theory of evolution
alive is based solely on the distortion of the scientific facts, biased interpreta-
tion, and lies and falsehoods disguised as science.
Yet this propaganda cannot conceal the truth. The fact that the theory of
evolution is the greatest deception in the history of science has been expressed
more and more in the scientific world over the last 20-30 years. Research car-
ried out after the 1980s in particular has revealed that the claims of Darwinism
are totally unfounded, something that has been stated by a large number of sci-
entists. In the United States in particular, many scientists from such different
fields as biology, biochemistry and paleontology recognize the invalidity of
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 contin-
uing to do so. Given the enormous 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 impor-
tant 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 scientific find-
ing; as he also accepted, it was just an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin con-
fessed in the long chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on Theory," the theo-
