Another misconception is the idea that cloning means creating a
new life form. The fact is, cloning consists of an already existing repro-
ductive mechanism being joined to previously existing genetic infor-

mation. No new mechanisms or genetic data are produced during this
procedure. Genetic information is extracted from an organism that al-
ready exists-a sheep, for example-and is then implanted into the womb
of a female sheep. The lamb is thus a "younger twin" of the sheep from
which the genetic information was extracted. This has nothing to do
with theory of evolution, nor with the concept of creating a living thing
from scratch.
Creating a human being or any other living thing-bringing them
into existence from nothing-is unique to Allah alone. Scientific progress
confirms this by showing that it is impossible for human beings to per-
form such creation.
In one verse it is stated that:

The Originator of the heavens and Earth. When He decides on some-
thing, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Surat al-Baqara, 117)

Evolutionists are left with nothing scientific to say, but still at-
tempt to keep their theory alive by hiding behind popular scientific ig-
norance, thus making that theory's lack of credibility crystal-clear. Like
all other important scientific advances, cloning is a very illuminating
development revealing that life was created.
