he information we have considered throughout this book has
shown us that the theory of evolution has no scientific basis, and
T that, on the contrary, evolutionist claims conflict with scientific
facts. In other words, the force that keeps evolution alive is not science.
The theory of evolution is maintained by some "scientists", but behind it
there is another influence at work.
This other influence is materialist philosophy.
Materialist philosophy is one of the oldest beliefs in the world, and as-
sumes the existence of matter as its basic principle. According to this view,
matter has always existed, and everything that exists consists of matter.
This makes belief in a Creator impossible, of course, because if matter has
always existed, and if everything consists of matter, then there can be no
suprematerial Creator who created it. Materialism has therefore long been
hostile to religious beliefs of every kind that have faith in Allah.
So the question becomes one of whether the materialist point of view
is correct. One method of testing whether a philosophy is true or false is to
investigate the claims it makes about science by using scientific methods.
For instance, a philosopher in the 10th century could have claimed that
there was a divine tree on the surface of the moon and that all living things
actually grew on the branches of this huge tree like fruit, and then fell off
onto the earth. Some people might have found this philosophy attractive
and believed in it. But in the 20th century, at a time when man has man-
aged to walk on the moon, it is no longer possible to seriously hold such a
belief. Whether such a tree exists there or not can be determined by scien-
tific methods, that is, by observation and experiment.
We can therefore investigate by means of scientific methods the mate-
rialist claim: that matter has existed for all eternity and that this matter can
organise itself without a supramaterial Creator and cause life to begin.
When we do this, we see that materialism has already collapsed, because
