Furthermore, it does not need the brain to think.
Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should ponder on
Almighty Allah, and fear and seek refuge in Him, for He squeezes the
entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cubic centimeters in a three-
dimensional, colored, shadowy, and luminous form.

A Materialist Faith

The information we have presented so far shows us that the theory of
evolution is incompatible with scientific findings. The theory's claim
regarding the origin of life is inconsistent with science, the evolutionary
mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power, and fossils demon-
strate that the required intermediate forms have never existed. So, it cer-
tainly follows that the theory of evolution should be pushed aside as an
unscientific idea. This is how many ideas, such as the Earth-centred uni-
verse model, have been taken out of the agenda of science throughout his-
tory.
However, the theory of evolution is kept on the agenda of science.
Some people even try to represent criticisms directed against it as an
"attack on science." Why?
The reason is that this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief for
some circles. These circles are blindly devoted to materialist philosophy
and adopt Darwinism because it is the only materialist explanation that can
be put forward to explain the workings of nature.
Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to time. A
well-known geneticist and an outspoken evolutionist, Richard C. Lewontin
from Harvard University, confesses that he is "first and foremost a materi-
alist and then a scientist":

It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us
accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the con-
trary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to
create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce
material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how
