stated by a large number of scientists. 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 continuing 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
As a pagan doctrine going 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 opposed, in his own eyes, the fact that Allah created
different living species on earth separately, for he erroneously
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 finding; as he also
accepted, it was just an "assumption." 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
discoveries, which he expected to solve these difficulties.
However, contrary to his expectations, scientific findings
expanded the dimensions of these difficulties. The defeat of
