Unsurprisingly, when we look at the theory of evolution, we see

that this theory is refuted by scientific findings. The design of life is

extremely complex and striking. In the inanimate world we can

determine the precision of balances which control atoms, and in the

animate world we can further observe the complex forms in which

these atoms were brought together and how extraordinary are the

mechanisms and structures of proteins, enzymes and cells which are

manufactured with them. The discovery of this extraordinary design in

life was instrumental in invalidating Darwinism at the end of the 20th

century. This subject has been dealt with in great detail in our

previous works, but considering its importance, it will be helpful to

present a short summary here as well.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece, the

theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the 19th century. The

most important development that made it the leading topic in the

world of science was a book by Charles Darwin, entitled The Origin of

Species published in 1859. In this book Darwin denied that the

different living species on earth were created separately by Allah.

According to Darwin, all living beings had a common ancestor and they

diversified over time through minute changes.
