Every detail in this universe points to a superior creation. By
contrast, materialism, which seeks to 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 God. 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. 9
It is God 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 God, but are products of coincidences, to be true.
Unsurprisingly, when we look at the theory of evolution, we
