such different fields as biology, biochemistry and paleontology
recognize the invalidity of Darwinism and employ the fact of cre-
ation to account for the origin of life.
We have examined the collapse of the theory of evolution
and the proofs of creation in great scientific detail in many of our
works, and are still continuing to do so. Given the enormous im-
portance of this subject, it will be of great benefit to summarize it
here.
Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece, the
theory of evolution was advanced extensively 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 denied that Allah cre-
ated different living species on Earth separately, for he claimed
that all living beings had a common ancestor and had diversified
over time through small changes. Darwin's theory was not based
on any concrete scientific finding; as he also accepted, it was just
an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the long
chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on Theory," the theory fail-
ed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discover-
ies, which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, con-
trary to his expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimen-
sions of these difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of
science can be reviewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mecha-
