has revealed that the claims of Darwinism are totally
unfounded, something that has been stated by a large
number of scientists. In the United States in particular,
many scientists from such different fields as biology,
biochemistry and paleontology recognize the invalidity
of Darwinism and employ the fact of Creation to account
for the origin of life.
We have examined the collapse of the theory of evo-
lution and the proofs of Creation in great scientific detail
in many of our works, and are still continuing to do so.
Given the enormous importance of this subject, it will be
of great benefit to summarize it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
As a a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient
Greece, the theory of evolution was advanced exten-
sively in the nineteenth century. The most important
development that made it the top topic of the world of
science was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species,
published in 1859. In this book, he opposed, in his own
eyes, the fact that Allah created different living species
on Earth separately, for he erroneously claimed that all
living beings had a common ancestor and had diversi-
fied over time through small changes. D Darwin's theory
was not based on any concrete scientific finding; as he
a
also accepted, it was just an "assumption." Moreover,
as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book
titled " "Difficulties on Theory," the theory failed in the
face of many critical questions.
