Once materialism is invalidated, all other theories based on this phi-

theory of evolution. This theory, which argues that life originated from in-
animate matter through coincidences, has been demolished with the rec-
ognition that the universe was created by Allah. American astrophysicist
Hugh Ross explains this as follows:
Atheism, Darwinism, and virtually all the "isms" emanating from the
eighteenth to the twentieth century philosophies are built upon the assump-
tion, the incorrect assumption, that the universe is infinite. The singularity
has brought us face to face with the cause – or causer – beyond/behind/be-

which holds that living beings are not created by Allah, but are products
of coincidences, to be true.
Unsurprisingly, when we look at the theory of evolution, we see that
this theory is denounced by scientific findings. The design in life is ex-
tremely complex and striking. In the inanimate world, for instance, we
