Evolutionists' Grave Errors Regarding Moths

Some scientists regard the structure of the moth's ear as "simple." Yet their
reason behind that view lies in evolutionist preconceptions and has no scien-
tific foundation. Animals with a central nervous system (including human be-
ings) perceive the outside world by means of a series of sense organs
connected to the brain by nerve fibers. The moth perceives it by means of a
few nerve fibers only. Therefore, according to the evolutionists' view the
moth's hearing system is more primitive and thus, stands on the lowest rungs
of evolutionary development. As with all their other claims, evolutionists have
fallen into a grave error in regarding this system as primitive.
If a function meets its needs fully within a small space, with as few compo-
nents as possible, that is a result of advanced development. As technology
develops, mobile phones and radios are growing ever smaller, and their com-
ponents becoming fewer in number and working much more efficiently.
The system in moths works with very few components, yet moths can make
sound measurements with their ears that human beings make only with tech-
nological equipment. Such a system cannot come about "in stages" because
none of the intermediate phases can work by itself. Describing this ability as
"primitive" is yet another fruitless effort to ignore the existence of God.
Twenty-first century science, having studied life down to its finest details, has
shown that most structures in living things are so complex that they could not
have arisen through a large number of small changes. In order for such flaw-
less systems to exist at all, the existence of a Creator possessed of most su-
perior knowledge is essential. The incomparable designs in living things
belong to God, the Lord of All. His creative power and artistry is described
thus in one verse:
He is God – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong
the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glo-
rifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr: 24)
