A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

As we can see, when people realized that a spell had been cast
upon them and that what they saw was just an illusion, Pharaoh's
magicians lost all credibility. In the present day too, unless those
who, under the influence of a similar spell, believe in these ridicu-
lous claims under their scientific disguise and spend their lives
defending them, abandon their superstitious beliefs, they also will
be humiliated when the full truth emerges and the spell is broken. In
fact, world-renowned British writer and philosopher Malcolm Mug-
geridge, who was an atheist defending evolution for some 60 years,
but who subsequently realized the truth, reveals the position in
which the theory of evolution would find itself in the near future in
these terms:
I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the
extent to which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in
the history books in the future. Posterity will marvel that so very
flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the inc-
redible credulity that it has. 102
That future is not far off: On the contrary, people will soon see
that "chance" is not a deity, and will look back on the theory of evo-
lution as the worst deceit and the most terrible spell in the world.
That spell is already rapidly beginning to be lifted from the shoul-
ders of people all over the world. Many people who see its true face
are wondering with amazement how they could ever have been
taken in by it.

They said “Glory be to You! We have no

knowledge except what You have thought us.
You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.”
(Qur’an, 2: 32)
