THE EVOLUTION

MISCONCEPTION

very detail in this universe points to a superior
creation. By contrast, materialism, which seeks to
E deny the fact of creation in the universe, is nothing
but an unscientific fallacy.
Once materialism is invalidated, all other theories based
on this philosophy are rendered baseless. Foremost of them
is Darwinism, that is, the theory of evolution. This theory,
which argues that life originated from inanimate matter
through coincidences, has been demolished with the
recognition that the universe was created by Allah. American
astrophysicist Hugh Ross explains this as follows:
Atheism, Darwinism, and virtually all the "isms" emanating from
the eighteenth to the twentieth century philosophies are built upon
the assumption, the incorrect assumption, that the universe is
infinite. The singularity has brought us face to face with the
cause—or causer—beyond/behind/before the universe and all that
it contains, including life itself. 42
It is Allah Who created the universe and Who designed it
down to its smallest detail. Therefore, it is impossible for the
theory of evolution, which holds that living beings are not
created by Allah, but are products of coincidences, to be true.
