The Signs Leading To Faith

                       The Corruption of the Age: Materialist Thought
                       and the Theory of Evolution

                       In our day, the greatest and widest intellectual movement
                  denying God’s existence and the fact of creation is material-
                  ism. Its “scientific” foundation is Darwin’s theory of evolu-
                  tion. Although bereft of any scientific and logical evidence,

                  and despite being totally irrational and unscientific, this the-
                  ory’s adherents continue to spread its assertions all over the
                  world through propaganda, forgery, and deception. This

                  major intellectual movement, which destroys peoples’ belief
                  in God and makes them atheists, is known as Darwinism.
                       The well-known atheist and evolutionist professor
                  Richard Dawkins sums this up in the following words:

                  “Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled athe-
                  ist.” 25
                       Today, there is probably no person in the West or in the

                  East, including all Muslim countries, who has not heard of this
                  theory. In fact, its truth is so taken for granted that it appears in
                  school textbooks, is inculcated in our children, and misguides
                  them into believing that human beings came into being by

                  chance and evolved from apes. Society is brainwashed, from
                  primary school to university, with evolutionist falsehoods.
                       One hadith of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant
                  him peace); “One kind of corruption will surface, from which no

                  party will be able to protect itself, and spread immediately in all di-
                  rections...” may be pointing to this situation. Indeed, this the-
                            26
                  ory’s nonsensical claims have now spread worldwide due to
                  advances in communication technology (e.g., the press, broad-

                  casting, the Internet, and satellite communications). No other
