fairly easy. For one thing, they assumed that life was essentially a rather
simple substance called protoplasm that could be easily constructed by
combining and recombining simple chemicals such as carbon dioxide, ox-
ygen, and nitrogen. 5

However, some scientists, the heirs of Darwin, still consider that
atoms spontaneously combined to give rise to complex living things. In
the light of the extraordinary advances made in the field of molecular
biology especially over the last 50 years, it is quite astonishing that Dar-
win's claim should have survived this long. This state of affairs is ad-
mitted in a statement by Dr. Richard Lewontin, an evolutionist and
Harvard University biologist and geneticist:
. . . evolution is not a fact, it's a philosophy. The materialism comes first
(a priori), and the evidence is interpreted in light of that unchangeable

philosophical commitment. 6
Because of their devotion to materialism, the inheritors of the the-
ory of evolution are generally unable to accept scientific facts. They
therefore insist on trying to carry an outdated 19th-century scientific
conception into the present day. However, the facts are too evident to
be covered up by any superstitious philosophy.
In the Qur'an, Allah reveals that there will be those who "use fal-
lacious arguments to deny the truth" (Surat al-Kahf, 56). In another
verse, He tells us:
Rather We hurl the truth against falsehood and it cuts right through its
brain and it vanishes clean away! Woe without end for you for what yo-
u portray! (Surat al-Anbiya', 18)

Some four billion years ago, according to the evolutionist scenar-
io, various inanimate chemical substances entered into reactions in the
primitive Earth's atmosphere; these then combined with the effects of
lightning and earthquakes–and thus the first living cell emerged. The
