216 THE EVOLUTION DECEIT

between these two creatures, one being an insect and the other a mammal,
on the grounds of that resemblance.
Other than superficial similarity, apes cannot be said to be closer to
man than to other animals. Actually, if level of intelligence is considered,
then the honeybee producing the geometrically miraculous structure of the
honeycomb or the spider building up the engineering miracle of the spider
web can be said to be closer to man. They are even superior in some as-
pects.
There is a very big difference between man and ape regardless of a
mere outward resemblance. An ape is an animal and is no different from a
horse or a dog considering its level of consciousness. Yet man is a con-
scious, strong-willed being that can think, talk, understand, decide, and
judge. All of these features are the functions of the soul that man pos-
sesses. The soul is the most important difference that interposes a huge
gap between man and other creatures. No physical similarity can close this
gap between man and any other living being. In nature, the only living
thing that has a soul is man.

Allah Creates According to His Will
Would it matter if the scenario proposed by evolutionists really had
taken place? Not a bit. The reason is that each stage advanced by evolu-
tionary theory and based on coincidence could only have occurred as a re-
sult of a miracle. Even if life did come about gradually through such a
succession of stages, each progressive stage could only have been brought
about by a conscious will. It is not just implausible that those stages could
have occurred by chance, it is impossible.
If is said that a protein molecule had been formed under the primor-
dial atmospheric conditions, it has to be remembered that it has been al-
ready demonstrated by the laws of probability, biology, and chemistry
that this could not have been by chance. But if it must be posited that it was
produced, then there is no alternative but to admit that it owed its exis-
tence to the will of a Creator. The same logic applies to the entire hypothe-
sis put forward by evolutionists. For instance, there is neither
paleontological evidence nor a physical, chemical, biological, or logical
justification proving that fish passed from water to land and formed the
land animals. But if one must have it that fish clambered onto the land and
