FOREWORD

A GREAT MIRACLE OF OUR TIMES:

BELIEF IN THE EVOLUTION DECEIT

ll the millions of living species on the earth possess miraculous features, unique behavioural pat-

terns and flawless physical structures. Every one of these living things has been created with its own
A unique detail and beauty. Plants, animals, and man above all, were all created with great knowledge
and art, from their external appearances down to their cells, invisible to the naked eye. Today there are a great

many branches of science, and tens of thousands of scientists working in those branches, that research every
detail of those living things, uncover the miraculous aspects of those details and try to provide an answer to the
question of how they came into being.
Some of these scientists are astonished as they discover the miraculous aspects of these structures they
study and the intelligence behind that coming into existence, and they witness the infinite knowledge and wis-

dom involved. Others, however, surprisingly claim that all these miraculous features are the product of blind
chance. These scientists believe in the theory of evolution. In their view, the proteins, cells and organs that
make up these living things all came about by a string of coincidences. It is quite amazing that such people,

who have studied for long years, carried out lengthy studies and written books about the miraculous function-
ing of just one organelle within the cell, itself too small to be seen with the naked eye, can think that these ex-
traordinary structures came about by chance.
The chain of coincidences such eminent professors believe in so flies in the face of reason that their doing so
leaves outside observers utterly amazed. According to these professors, a number of simple chemical sub-

stances first came together and formed a protein - which is no more possible than a randomly scattered collec-
tion of letters coming together to form a poem. Then, other coincidences led to the emergence of other proteins.
These then also combined by chance in an organised manner. Not just proteins, but DNA, RNA, enzymes, hor-

mones and cell organelles, all of which are very complex structures within the cell, coincidentally happened to
emerge and come together. As a result of these billions of coincidences, the first cell came into being. The mirac-
ulous ability of blind chance did not stop there, as these cells then just happened to begin to multiply.
According to the claim in question, another coincidence then organised these cells and produced the first living
thing from them.

Billions of impossible events had to take place together for just one eye in a living thing to form. Here too
the blind process known as coincidence entered the equation: It first opened two holes of the requisite size and
in the best possible place in the skull, and then cells that happened by chance to find themselves in those places

coincidentally began to construct the eye.
As we have seen, coincidences acted in the knowledge of what they wanted to produce. Right from the
very start, "chance" knew what seeing, hearing and breathing were, even though there was not one example of
such things anywhere in the world at that time. It displayed great intelligence and awareness, exhibited con-
