States in particular, many scientists from such different fields
as biology, biochemistry and paleontology recognize the inva-
lidity of Darwinism and employ the fact of Creation to
account for the origin of life.
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 enor-
mous importance of this subject, it will be of great benefit to
summarize it here.

As a pagan doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece,
the theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the nine-
teenth 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
