James F. Crow is professor emeritus of genetics and zoology at the
University of Wisconsin and an expert in the field of radiation and muta-
tion. He prepared a report that compared mutations that randomly target
DNA to the random alteration of connections in a television set, showing
plainly that random changes don't improve the quality of the picture on a
television screen. 14
From this, clearly, the evolutionists' claim that mutations cause species
to develop and turn into other species is like believing that, if a person took
a hammer and started chopping randomly at a computer, the computer
would develop into a more advanced version. Indeed, making such a claim
is highly unreasonable. Evolutionists speak of stranger and more illogical
things than the man who assaults his computer with a hammer in the hopes
of developing a new one. But in spite of this, many people believe them.
Sometimes ignorance lies at the bottom of this naiveté, but more often, the
effect of the spell of Darwinism is to blame. As we shall see in the following
chapters, because of the evolutionists' various inculcation methods, people
believe most of their claims at face value, ignoring how impossible and un-
scientific they are.
The Myth that Proteins, the Building Blocks of
Life, Were Produced by Blind Chance
Life—from the proteins, building blocks of life, up to the human
body—is based on countless delicate balances. Evolutionists reject the idea
that living things were created by Allah, so when they are asked how all
these balances can be established and perpetuated without the existence of
any consciousness, they reply that it is only the result of chance. However,
so delicate and so numerous are these balances that it goes contrary to com-
mon sense to assert that they were formed by chance. Can even one of the
