                                 The Evolution Misconception

                  It is Allah Who created the universe and Who designed it
              down to its smallest detail. Therefore, it is impossible for the
              theory of evolution, 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 extremely complex and striking. In the
              inanimate world, for instance, we can explore how sensitive
              are the balances which atoms rest upon, and further, in the
              animate world, we can observe in what complex designs
              these atoms were brought together, and how extraordinary
              are the mechanisms and structures such as proteins,
              enzymes, and cells, which are manufactured with them.
                  This extraordinary design in life invalidated Darwinism
              at the end of the 20th century.
                  We have dealt with this subject in great detail in some of
              our other studies, and shall continue to do so. However, we
              think that, considering its importance, it will be helpful to
              make a short summary here as well.


                  The Scientific Collapse of Darwinism

                  Although a doctrine going back as far as ancient Greece,
              the theory of evolution was advanced extensively in the 19th
              century. The most important development that made the
              theory the top topic of the world of science was the book by
              Charles Darwin titled The Origin of Species published in
              1859. In this book, Darwin denied that different living species
              on the earth were created separately by Allah. According to
              Darwin, all living beings had a common ancestor and they
              diversified over time through small changes.
