116                      KNOWING THE TRUTH


                   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
              theory 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 opposed, in his own eyes, the fact
              that Allah created different living species on Earth separately, for he
              erroneously 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 on 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 reviewed under three
              basic topics:
                   1) The theory cannot explain how
              life originated on Earth.
                                                                      Charles Darwin
