Page 40 - The Struggle Against the Religion of Irreligion

Our ancestors worshipped the Sun, and they were far from

foolish... If we must worship a power greater than ourselves,

does it not make sense to revere the Sun and stars? 26

Harlow Shapley, the evolutionist astronomer who was a mentor

of Carl Sagan, is known for his words: "Some piously record, 'In the

beginning God,' but I say, 'In the beginning hydrogen.'" That is,

Shapley believed that with time hydrogen gas evolved into animals,

trees and human beings. As is seen, the deification of matter and

nature underlies all the senseless views put forward by evolutionists.

The "religion" of evolutionists is based on worship of matter and

nature.

On the other hand, a man of wisdom comprehends that the

universe and nature cannot be the works of inanimate and unconscious

materials. On the contrary, he sees an awesome consciousness,

precise plan, and artistry in every detail and perceives the grandeur of

Allah's creation. Nonetheless, many people in our day remain blind to

this fact and continue to worship matter. That is because, like the

people of Saba’, “"Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and

averted them from the [right] way, so they are not guided.”
