been unearthed so far and not even one of them belongs to a transitional form.

Not even one single transitional form fossil has been found so far showing
that living things evolved from another, and it is impossible that any will be

found in the future. Each and every one of the hundreds of millions of fos-
sils unearthed so far belongs to complete, perfect, flawless creatures that had-

n't gone through any changes. Even Darwin himself admitted in his book that
unless transitional form fossils are found, his theory would collapse:

…why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we
not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in
confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined…? But,

as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do
we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth…?

Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such in-
termediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduat-
ed organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection

which can be urged against my theory. 115

Al-Jisr went as far as claiming that this theory, which denied the existence

of God, did not contradict the Qur'an. His Hamidian Treatise was full of un-
scientific and non-Qur'anic explanations like the mistaken claim that Dar-

win's theory did not contradict with belief in God and that theory of evolu-
tion could be interpreted in line with religion and that some verses could be

construed that way. He provided an example of those writers and scholars of
the time, who sought to spread this lie among religious people. Indeed, his

book was translated into many languages, particularly Turkish and Urdu,
and quickly became popular among many scholars in modern Syria and

Turkey. Some of the scholars in Al-Azhar University, in particular, paid close
attention to the book. Al-Jisr was himself a graduate of that university.

Hasan Tahsini, also known as Hoxha Tahsin, was the first rector of the

Darülfünûn –the original Istanbul University-, founded by Sultan Abdul
Hamid II. Hasan Tahsini was among the first Darwinists in the Ottoman

Empire and was appointed to the post of rector of the University by Abdul
Hamid II. Grand Vizier Reşid Pasha had personally sent him to Europe to

study, from where he returned as a materialist. In his article 'Tarih-i Tekvin'
