CONCLUSION

hroughout this book we have examined the scientific evidence for the origin of life, and what
emerges clearly demonstrates that life was not the result of chance, as claimed by Darwinism and
T materialist philosophy in general. Living species could not have evolved from one another through

a string of coincidences. On the contrary, all living things were independently and flawlessly created. As the
twenty-first century dawns, science offers but one answer to the question of the origin of life: Creation.
The important thing is that science has confirmed the truth which religion has been witness to from the
dawn of history to the present day. God created the universe and all the living things in it from nothing. And
it was God Who created man from nothing and blessed him with countless characteristics. This truth has

been sent down to man since the dawn of time by prophets, and revealed in holy books. Every prophet has
told the communities to whom he was sent that God created man and all living things. The Bible and the
Qur'an all tell of the news of creation in the same way.
In the Qur'an, God announces in a number of verses that it was He Who created the universe and all the
living things in it from nothing, and flawlessly ordered them. In this verse, it is declared that creation be-
longs to Him:

Your Lord is God, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then settled Himself firmly on the
Throne. He covers the day with the night, each pursuing the other urgently; and the sun and moon and stars
are subservient to His command. Both creation and command belongs to Him. Blessed be God, the Lord of all

the worlds. (Surat al-A‘raf: 54)
Just as God created everything that exists, so he created the world we live in today, and made it capable
of supporting life. This fact is revealed in certain verses:
As for the earth, We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains in it and made everything grow in
due proportion on it. And We put livelihoods in it both for you and for those you do not provide for. (Surat al-

Hijr: 19-20)
And the earth:how We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains onto it and caused luxuriant
plants of every kind to grow in it. (Surah Qaf: 7-8)
The above verses announce that all plants were created by God. All plants, known and unknown, all

trees, grasses, fruit, flowers, seaweed and vegetables were created by God.
And the same thing applies to animals. All of the millions of different animal species that live, or have
ever lived, on earth, were created by God. Fish, reptiles, birds, mammals, horses, giraffes, squirrels, deer,
sparrows, eagles, dinosaurs, whales, and peacocks were all created from nothing by God, the Lord of infinite
art and knowledge. God's creation of the different species of living things is mentioned in the verses:
God created every animal from water. Some of them go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and
