States in particular, many scientists
from such different fields as biology,
biochemistry and paleontology recog-
nize the invalidity of Darwinism and
employ the fact of Creation 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 Char les Dar win
enormous importance of this subject, it will be of
great benefit to summarize it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

As a pagan doctrine going 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 sci-
ence was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, published in 1859. In this
book, he opposed, in his own eyes, the fact that Allah created different liv-

Theory," the theory failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which
he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his ex-
