SATAN: THE SWORN ENEMY OF MANKIND
particular, many scientists from such different fields as biology, bio-
chemistry and paleontology recognize the invalidity of Darwinism
and employ the concept of intelligent design to account for the origin
of life. This "intelligent design" is a scientific expression of the fact that
Allah created all living things.
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 importance of this
subject, it will be of great benefit to summarize it here.

The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism
Although this doctrine goes back as far as ancient Greece, the the-
ory 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 created 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 of
the 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
expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these
difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be re-
viewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms"
