JANNAH:
                                         The Garden from
                                       the Qur’an and Hadith






              out any evolutionary ancestor is that it was created. This fact is admitted
              also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:

                   Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations
                   for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth ful-
                   ly developed or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed
                   from pre-existing species by some process of modification. If they did ap-
                   pear in a fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by
                   some omnipotent intelligence. 13

                   Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a
              perfect state on the Earth. That means that "the origin of species," con-
              trary to Darwin's supposition, is not evolution, but Creation.


                   The Tale of Human Evolution
                   The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
              evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds
              that man evolved from so-called ape-like creatures. During this alleged
              evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5 million
              years ago, some "transitional forms" between man and his imaginary an-

              cestors are supposed to have existed. According to this completely imag-
              inary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
                   1. Australopithecus
                   2. Homo habilis
                   3. Homo erectus
                   4. Homo sapiens
                   Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
              Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These living beings

              are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become extinct.

              world famous anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord
