no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that

materialism is absolute, so we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.

These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept

alive only for the sake of adherence to materialist philosophy. This

dogma maintains that there is no true being save matter. Therefore, it

argues that inanimate, unconscious matter created life. It insists that

millions of different living species: birds, fish, giraffes, tigers, insects,

trees, flowers, whales and human beings, originated from inanimate

matter as a result of interactions between elements such as the

pouring rain and lightening flashes. This is a precept contrary to both

reason and science. Yet Darwinists continue to defend it just so as not

to "allow a divine foot in the door." 146

Anyone who looks at the origin of living beings without a

materialist prejudice will see this evident truth: all living beings are

works of a Creator, who is all-Powerful, all-Wise and all-Knowing. This

Creator is Allah, who created the whole universe from nothing,

designed it in the most perfect form, and fashioned all living beings.
