lidity 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 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 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, pub-

lished in 1859. In this book, he opposed, in his own eyes, the fact that
Allah created different living species on Earth separately, for he erro-
neously 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 ac-
cepted, it was just an “assumption.” Moreover, as Darwin confessed
in the long chapter of his book titled “Difficulties on Theory,” the the-
ory 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 mecha-
nisms” proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
