to feed the tadpoles for six weeks. The time of birth is designed perfectly as

well. The oesophagus of the female frog dilates during birth, just like the
vagina of mammals during delivery. Once the young have emerged, the
oesophagus and the stomach both return to normal, and the female starts
feeding again. 57
The miraculous reproductive system of Rheobatrachus silus explicitly
invalidates the theory of evolution, since this system is irreducibly complex.
Every step has to take place fully in order for the frogs to survive. The
mother has to swallow the eggs, and has to stop
feeding completely for 6 weeks. The eggs have

to release a hormonelike substance to neutralise
stomach acids. The addition of the extra
protein-rich yolk to the egg is another necessity.

would not survive and the species would face

extinction.
Therefore, this system cannot have developed step-by-step, as asserted
by the theory of evolution. The very first frog of the Rheobatrachus silus
species existed with this complete flawless system. All of the creatures
examined throughout this book prove the same fact: there is a supreme
design in creation encompassing all nature. Allah created all living things
with irreducible complexity, in which His infinite power and knowledge are
illustrated for those who examine them. The flawless creation of Allah is
depicted as follows:

He is Allah - the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong
the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies
Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr: 24)
