The Defence System Cannot Have Been Formed By Evolution 137

Even Darwin, the founder of the theory of evolu-
tion, experienced the same lack of confidence some 150
years ago:
When I think of the many cases of men who have stud-
ied one subject for years, and have persuaded them-
selves of the truth of the foolishest doctrines, I feel
sometimes a little frightened, whether I may not be
one of these monomaniacs. 18
It is quite evident that all these systems, just like ev-
erything else in the universe, are under the control of
the Almighty Allah, the all-powerful and all-knowing. The
inability of mankind to solve these mysteries is a sure
sign that these issues are beyond man's grasp and are the
product of greatly superior wisdom, that is, of Allah.
The answer to the questions which mankind has for
centuries debated and deliberated upon, without being
able to arrive at a logical conclusion, is extremely sim-
ple. The answer lies neither in coincidence, nor in natu-
ral selection nor in mutation. Not one of these is
capable of forming life or maintaining its continuity.
The Qur'an provided the answers to all these ques-
tions 1400 years ago. Allah, the Lord of All the Worlds,
has submitted our bodily cells as well as all that is in the
universe to His Will:
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens
and the earth in six days and then settled Him-
self firmly on the Throne. He covers the day
with the night, each pursuing the other urgent-
ly; and the sun and moon and stars are subserv-
ient to His command. Both creation and
command belong to Him. Blessed be Allah, the
Lord of All the Worlds. (Surat al-A‘raf: 54)
