THEY DESCRIBED A PIG'S TOOTH AS A
FOSSIL OF "NEBRASKA MAN"

In 1922, Henry Fairfield Osborn, the director of the
American Museum of Natural History, declared that he
had found a fossil molar tooth belonging to the Pliocene
Period in Western Nebraska near Snake Brook. This tooth
allegedly bore common characteristics of both man and
ape. This fossil came to be called "Nebraska man."
Nebraska man was also immediately given a "scientific
name", Hesperopithecus haroldcooki. Based on this single
FALSE body were drawn. Moreover, Nebraska man was even

parts of the skeleton were also found.
According to these newly discovered pieces,

an ape. It was realized that it belonged to an

those who have no faith constantly come up with
excuses. Yet they will soon see and understand the truth. It is revealed in many verses that the time will
come when unbelievers will realize and understand the truth. These verses tell us, in allusive terms, that

Darwinists will also see the truth. Some of these verses read as follows:
But they have rejected it and they will soon know! (Surat as Saffat, 170)
Leave them to eat and enjoy themselves. Let false hope divert them. They will soon know.
(Surat al Hijr, 3)
Let them be ungrateful for what We have given them! Let them enjoy themselves—they will

soon know! (Surat al-'Ankabut, 66)
We hope that Darwinists, too, will also abandon their illogical stubbornness and accept the facts that
everyone can see so clearly. The truth revealed by science is that the theory of evolution is wrong, and

that the universe and living things are the creation of God.
Fossils, some examples of which have been provided in this book, are all important proofs of God's
creation. It is noted in several verses of the Qur'an that there is evidence above and beneath the ground
that shows the fact of creation. For example, verse 137 of Surat as-Saffat states:
And you pass over them.

In all likelihood, this verse is referring to the fossil record that lies below the ground and reveals the
true history of life. There are countless fossil specimens beneath the ground all over the world that show
that living things have stayed the same since the moment they first came into existence and have not

changed over the course of hundreds of millions of years—in short, that they never underwent
evolution. All these fossils show that living things came into being fully formed and flawless, with all
their complex features—in other words, that they were created by God.
Our Almighty Lord has created all living things in the finest form. All entities are manifestations of
the might and greatness of God. Faced by these manifestations, a person's duty is to employ his or her

reason and conscience and reflect that the universe has been created with a definite wisdom, to be
grateful to our Lord, God, and to serve Him in the best possible way.
God is the Creator of everything and He is Guardian over everything. The keys of the heavens

and Earth belong to Him. It is those who reject God's signs who are the losers. (Surat az Zumar,
62-63)
