The logic that nothing, but chance, is scientific is a flawed one. It is a logical dead-end.
If brand-new civilizations were discovered in outer space, would the logic of Darwinism and chance be employed in all of them? Would it be claimed that chance established civilizations everywhere? The portrayal of this miserable logic as scientific is the shame and disgrace of the current century.

> > The Huffington Post Writer Nidhal Guessoum’s Errors Concerning Evolution
On 4 January, 2012, the U.S. news portal The Huffington Post carried an article titled “Does Islam forbid even studying evolution?” Written by Nidhal Guessoum, professor of physics and astronomy at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, the piece dealt with a recent report widely covered in the international media regarding the unwillingness of Muslim students in Great Britain to study evolution.
In the article, Guessoum appears to make a number of errors that in no way actually reflect the truth. The author’s errors can be listed as follows:
1. Guessoum claims that evolution is not denied in the Qur’an and espouses the error that Allah created the universe by way of evolution.
This is a very serious error that some other Muslims are also falling into. The Qur’an contains no information regarding or references to creation by evolution. To put it another way, not a single verse of the Qur’an supports the idea of living things having developed from one another and of there being an evolutionary link between them. On the contrary, it is revealed in the Qur’an that Allah created life and the universe in a single moment, in a miraculous manner, by telling them to “Be!” Allah is He Who created from nothing, in a manner and at a time of His choosing, using no previous models.
Almighty Allah has no need of any instruments, natural causes or stages in order to create – surely He is beyond that. This world is a place of testing, for which reason Allah has created everything in the universe in line with natural laws. But this does not mean that our Almighty Lord Himself needs these natural laws (surely Allah is beyond that). Our Almighty Lord is He Who needs nothing and is unfettered by any deficiencies.
The truth revealed in the Qur’an about the creation of the universe and life is that Allah simply willed and created the earth and heavens and all that lies between. Creation is a most easy matter for Allah. It is revealed in several verses of the Qur’an that creation takes place by Allah issuing the command “Be!” Some of these verses read as follows:
On December 6th 2011, the Aljazeera English TV‘s The Stream program covered the story, “Are evolution and religion compatible?”, asking some Muslim scholars living in Britain, America and Afghanistan about whether religion and science can be reconciled.
Darwinist publications in Turkey have started ceasing publication one after the other. The journals in question, which began publication with great fanfare, are now silently leaving the stage. This is taking place in the same way across the whole world. Even if all the financial resources of the Darwinist dictatorship were diverted their way and all kinds of material infrastructure made available they still could not remain in circulation. Because the problem is not a material one. It is that they have lost all their strength and belief.
A report titled “Dinosaur Fossil Reveals Creature of a Different Feather” recently appeared on the Science News web site. This report was carried in a variety of Darwinist publications in order to support the lie that birds evolved from dinosaurs, and yet again revealed the despair that has been afflicting Darwinists for a very long time.
It can be seen from this article that some Darwinists still imagine that they can use propaganda to attract people into their ranks. But they are mistaken. Because people no longer believe in the theory of evolution. They can no longer be taken in, but laugh at reports of evolution. It is no longer possible to convince people of this falsehood by means of outdated propaganda!
Because people have touched with their own hands and personally examined evidence that totally exposes the lie of evolution; in other words, they have come into contact with 100 million fossils. It is for that reason that constantly repeating false claims such as “a feathered dinosaur has been discovered” or “fish did move onto dry land,” that people have now learned by heart, can never and will never bear any fruit in the face of 100 million fossils that all prove the fact of Creation.
People now laugh at such nonsense as “our ancestors were chimpanzees,” “our ancestors were kangaroos” or “our ancestors were germs.” And it is totally unbecoming of anyone to try to deceive people with these lies.
Because Evolution Has Collapsed
DARWIN HIMSELF ADMITTED the fact that there are no transitional form fossils. In his book the Origin of Species, Darwin clearly stated, and in a rather foresighted manner, that there existed not a single transitional form fossil and that this represented the greatest possible objection to his theory:
WHY, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, DO WE NOT EVERYWHERE SEE INNUMERABLE TRANSITIONAL FORMS? Why is not all nature IN CONFUSION INSTEAD OF THE SPECIES BEING, AS WE SEE THEM, WELL DEFINED?
INNUMERABLE TRANSITIONAL FORMS MUST HAVE EXISTED, WHY DO WE NOT FIND THEM EMBEDDED IN COUNTLESS NUMBERS IN THE CRUST OF THE EARTH?
WHY THEN IS NOT EVERY GEOLOGICAL FORMATION AND EVERY STRATUM FULL OF SUCH INTERMEDIATE LINKS?
Geology assuredly DOES NOT REVEAL any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, IS THE MOST OBVIOUS AND GRAVEST OBJECTION WHICH CAN BE URGED AGAINST MY THEORY. (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, pp. 172, 280)
Indeed, more than 100 million fossils have to date been unearthed from various strata of the earth. But NOT A SINGLE ONE IS A TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL.
These 100 million fossils unearthed reveal that NATURE IS NOT IN A STATE OF CONFUSION, as Darwin anticipated, BUT IS RATHER FULL OF COMPLETE, PERFECT, FLAWLESS LIVING THINGS WITH ALL THEIR PARTS INTACT. The earth contains many animals that have become extinct but bear close similarities to one another. But this DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE INTERMEDIATE FOSSILS. All these life forms WERE BROUGHT INTO BEING FROM NOTHING, WITH NO DEFICIENCIES OR IMPERFECTIONS, BUT IN COMPLETELY PERFECT STATES.
Darwin was well aware of this. And these facts have indeed emerged as THE GRAVEST OBJECTION to the theory, just as Darwin foresaw. In other words, they have demolished Darwinism.
And above and beyond all this, new sciences have shown that CELLS, CHROMOSOMES AND PROTEINS ARE EXTRAORDINARILY AND IRREDUCIBLY COMPLEX.
It has been discovered that there is enough information in DNA TO FILL 1 MILLION ENCYCLOPEDIA PAGES, and that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUCH A GLORIOUS STRUCTURE TO COME INTO BEING BY CHANCE.
It has been established that atoms, the basic building blocks of everything, POSSESS A FLAWLESS ORDER AND GLORIOUS COMPLEXITY.
The theory of evolution has suffered a definite and total collapse in the face of all these facts. That is why people now regard reports of dinosaurs growing feathers and turning into birds as FAIRY TALES.
Birds have always existed as birds, and dinosaurs always existed as dinosaurs. You can examine the 125-million-year-old LIAONINGORNIS fossil and the 120-million-year-old CONFUCIUSORNIS fossil as the clearest evidence of this on the www.fossil-museum.net web site. These birds, which were able to fly perfectly and were fully formed millions of years ago, are identical to birds living today. In the same way that present-day birds were created out of nothing, those birds living all those hundreds of millions of years ago were also created by the will and at the command of our Almighty Lord. People are now well aware of this. And that is why persisting in hollow evolutionary propaganda will serve no purpose at all.
> > The Myth of the Evolution of Fish with Lungs
Evolutionists resort to evolutionist tales regarding fish with lungs and maintain that these fish were the first vertebrates to move from water to dry land. However, the idea of the passage from water to dry land and the role assumed to have been played in this scenario by fish with lungs stem solely from blind devotion to the theory of evolution. Evolutionists are unable to produce any concrete evidence to support their claims. This can clearly be seen from Darwinist writings. One sees tales about how fish supposedly developed lungs in order to be able to make use of the oxygen in the air and how their fins turned into feet to enable them to walk on land. But these people are unable to produce any fossil evidence for their claims. The reason for this is clear: such a passage is entirely imaginary and there is no scientific evidence to support it.
On the contrary, the scientific evidence refutes these Darwinist tales. The weakness of the evolutionary myths about fish with lungs is a fact explicitly and frequently brought up even in evolutionist literature.
Fish with lungs are able to breathe air and to survive in dry periods thanks to an astonishing metabolic arrangement and system. These fish, which have to rise to the surface approximately every 20 minutes, bury themselves inside a cocoon made of mud in dry seasons when the waters retract and enter into a kind of summer sleep, known as aestivation. This time, when their metabolisms slow down enormously, will last for months, or sometimes even for years, until the rains begin again.
Some evolutionists claim that these creatures are left over from this so called period, living transitional forms. According to this entirely imaginary evolutionist fantasy, the fish in question were imprisoned in very small bodies of water caused by a drought in the Devonian Period, some 300 million years ago, and learned how to walk from one pool to another. Some evolutionists regard these fish as the supposed ancestors of amphibians (and quadrupeds).
There are enormous difference, in terms of skeletons and organs, between amphibians and the fish with lungs alleged to be their ancestors. In a paper published in the Journal of Molecular Evolution the researchers C. Marshall and H. P. Schultz wrote that, "Morphological analysis of the "living fossils," the coelacanth and lungfish, has only lead to confusion regarding possible evolution of tetrapods.” (Marshall C. and Schultze HP. Journal of Molecular Evolution 35 (2): 93-101, 1992.)
A paper in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society admitted the dilemma facing the supposed evolutionary origins of fish with lungs – portrayed as resting on very sure foundations:
"… the lungfishes, like every other major group of fishes that I know, have their origins firmly based in nothing." (Quoted in W. R. Bird, The Origin of Species Revisited [Nashville: Regency, 1991; originally published by Philosophical Library, 1987], 1:62-63)
In his book “Evolution: A Theory in Crisis,” the molecular biologist Michael Denton wrote that evolutionists described fish with lungs as a transitional form between fish and amphibians, but said that the individual characteristics of fish with lungs "in no way represent a realistic passage between the two." ("Evolution: A Theory in Crisis", Michael Denton, Adler and Adler: Bethesda, Maryland, 3rd ed. 1986, p. 109)
The fossil record also deals a heavy blow to evolutionist scenarios regarding fish with lungs. These have remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years and fossils belonging to these creatures are identical to specimens living today. Not a single fossil exists to justify the claim that the lungs in this fish developed gradually. This shows that fish with lungs are rather evidence against evolution, not for it. It is clear in the light of the above facts that the idea that fish with lungs represent an evolutionary phase is simply a fantasy.
What evolutionists are doing is to try to spread a scenario about fish with lungs as if they were the scientific truth and to ignore the objections to that scenario that can easily be found in the scientific literature. This is a blind endeavor to spread Darwinist propaganda with unscientific myths.
Like all living things, fish with lungs exhibited sublime complexities far beyond the reach of even the most advanced technologies. And like all living things they are proof of a flawless Creation. The idea that fish one day moved from the water to dry land and developed lungs and feet with the help of blind chance is a myth. The truth is that Almighty Allah has perfectly created these animals.
The perfections, symmetry, harmony, detail variety and glory in nature can only exist through a Intelligence. Only a sublime Intelligence can give bees the ability to make combs or the fly the ability to beat its wings a thousand times a second. Only a sublime Intelligence can install a whole city with all its technological details, factories and energy plants in a single cell. Only a sublime Intelligence can create the trillions of cells in our bodies and the proteins that are constantly manufactured, and the cell with its far greater complexity and superior abilities than cannot be replicated even with the intelligence and knowledge of thousands of people and all the means at their disposal. The details are created in order for us to see and appreciate that sublime Intelligence.
The presence of a sublime Intelligence is obvious throughout the universe. Allah shows us His sublime intelligence, in all things and all the time. Scientists in particular see these from even closer up and with greater clarity. For that reason, no Darwinist is in fact a real Darwinist at all. All Darwinists of course know that the intelligence in the cell could never come into being by chance. Of course they are aware that living things did not come into being by chance. It is largely pointless to try to convince them of that fact. They already do not believe the illogical accounts of evolution. Because it is impossible for any rational person to do so.
Darwinists claim that people object to evolution on emotional grounds, for which reason they “constantly encounter a diametrically opposite opinion.” The fact is, however, that this claim is completely unrealistic.
Darwinists maintain that Darwin was a scientist and evolution is a science. This position has for long been kept on the agenda by Darwinist circles. There is no doubt that the reason for this is that Darwin was not a scientist and evolution is not a science.
Darwinists maintain that “there is no need to dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s” in order to prove evolution and that “all the world already believes in evolution,” and that this is therefore enough to prove the validity of the theory. In order to corroborate their claims, they suggest that there is nobody in the world’s greatest universities who does not know about and support evolution.
It is true that evolution is espoused in the great universities of the world, taught in almost all countries and known to the entire world. The reason for that is EVOLUTION IS PROTECTED UNDER NATIONAL LAWS UNDER IMPOSITION FROM THE DARWINIST DICTATORSHIP and that opponents of evolution ARE SILENCED by this sinister dictatorial system.
The way that all of Europe has become acquainted with Atlas of Creation and the declaration of the fact that living creatures have remained unchanged for millions of years and that evolution is devoid of any scientific worth have led to a major change of belief among the people of Europe. Independent polls conducted by well-known publishing institutions in different European countries have revealed a major drop in the numbers of people believing in Darwinism and that belief in Allah now dominates Europe. >>
In order to create, God has no need to design
It's important that the word "design" be properly understood. That God has created a flawless design does not mean that He first made a plan and then followed it. God, the Lord of the Earth and the heavens, needs no "designs" in order to create. God is exalted above all such deficiencies. His planning and creation take place at the same instant.
Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for Him just to say, "Be!"
As verses of the Qur'an tell us: His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 36: 82)
[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth.
When He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 2: 117)
