                            JUSTICE AND COMPASSION IN THE QUR'AN

              Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under three
              basic topics:
                  1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
                  2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary
              mechanisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary
              power at all.
                  3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the
              theory suggests.
                  In this section, we will examine these three basic points in

              general outlines:


                 The First Insurmountable Step:
                 The Origin of Life
                  The theory of evolution posits that all living species
              evolved from a single living cell that emerged on Earth 3.8

              billion years ago, supposed to have happened as a result of
              coincidences. How a single cell could generate millions of
              complex living species and, if such an evolution really
              occurred, why traces of it cannot be observed in the fossil
              record are some of the questions that the theory cannot
              answer. However, first and foremost, we need to ask: How
              did this "first cell" originate?
                  Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies Creation,
              it maintains that the "first cell" originated as a product of
              blind coincidences within the laws of nature, without any
              plan or arrangement. According to the theory, inanimate
              matter must have produced a living cell as a result of
              coincidences. Such a claim, however, is inconsistent with the
              most unassailable rules of biology.
