LOYALTY DESCRIBED IN THE QUR'AN
              It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow com-
              pel us accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but,
              on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to ma-
              terial causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of con-
              cepts that produce material explanations, no matter how

              counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated.
              Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so we cannot allow a Divine
              Foot in the door. 19
              These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept alive
           just for the sake of adherence to materialism. This dogma maintains

           that there is no being save matter. Therefore, it argues that inanimate,
           unconscious matter created life. It insists that millions of different liv-
           ing species (e.g., birds, fish, giraffes, tigers, insects, trees, flowers,
           whales, and human beings) originated as a result of the interactions be-
           tween matter such as pouring rain, lightning flashes, and so on, out of
           inanimate matter. This is a precept contrary both to reason and science.
           Yet Darwinists continue to defend it just so as "not to allow a Divine
           Foot in the door."
              Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a ma-

           terialist prejudice will see this evident truth: All living beings are works
           of a Creator, Who is All-Powerful, All-Wise, and All-Knowing. This
           Creator is Allah, Who created the whole universe from non-existence,
           designed it in the most perfect form, and fashioned all living beings.
