The Error of the Evolution
of Species

God has created all living things, those we know and

those we do not, such as bacteria, marine and terrestrial
plants, vegetables, fruits, trees, fish, insects, birds, reptiles
and mammals. Reference is made to God's creation of all
the many living species in various verses:
It is He Who sends down water from the sky from
which We bring forth growth of every kind, and
from that We bring forth the green shoots and from
them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from
the spathes of the date palm date clusters hanging
down, and gardens of grapes and olives and pome-
granates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their
fruits as they bear fruit and ripen. There are Signs in
that for people who believe. (Surat-al-An‘am, 99)

God created every animal from water. Some of them
go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and
some on four. God creates whatever He wills. God
has power over all things. (Surat-an-Nur, 45)
From birth to death, everyone lives in the closest of re-
lationships with this variety of living things, so graceful to
the soul, that meet all our needs and are each an everyone
a matchless, peerless blessing. All the scientific research and
observations carried out in order to find the origin of this
extraordinary diversity confirm a fact revealed in verses of

the Qur'an: Life and biodiversity came into existence
