All translations from the Qur'an are from The Noble Qur'an: a New Renderingof Its Meaning in English by Hajj Abdalhaqq and Aisha Bewley, published by
Bookwork, Norwich, UK. 1420 CE/1999 AH.
Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, Adnan Oktarwas born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary and second-ary education in Ankara, he studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar SinanUniversity and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, he haspublished many books on political, scientific, and faith-related issues.Harun Yahya is well-known as the author of important works disclosingthe imposture of evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons
between Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism andcommunism.
Harun Yahya's works, translated into 57 different languages,constitute a collection for a total of more than 45,000 pages with30,000 illustrations. His pen-name is a composite of the namesHarun (Aaron) and Yahya (John), in memory of the two es-
teemed prophets who fought against their peoples' lack offaith. The Prophet's seal on his books' covers is symbolic
and is linked to their contents. It represents the Qur'an(the Final Scripture) and Prophet Muhammad (saas),
last of the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'anand the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet [saas]), theauthor makes it his purpose to disprove each funda-mental tenet of irreligious ideologies and to have
the "last word," so as to completely silence the ob-jections raised against religion. He uses the seal
of the final Prophet (saas), who attained ulti-mate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign
of his intention to offer the last word.All of Harun Yahya's works share
one singlegoal: to convey the Qur'an'smessage, encourage read-
ers to consider basicfaith-related issues
such as Allah's ex-istence
AABBOOUUTT TTHHEE AAUUTTHHOORR
and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious systems' feeble foundations and pervertedideologies. Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, from India to America,England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, Spain to Brazil, Malaysia to Italy, France to Bulgaria andRussia. Some of his books are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese,Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Chinese, Swahili, Hausa, Dhivehi (spoken in Mauritius), Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian), Polish, Malay, Uygur Turkish, Indonesian, Bengali, Danish and Swedish.
Greatly appreciated all around the world, these works have been instrumental in many peo-ple recovering faith in Allah and gaining deeper insights into their faith. His books' wisdom andsincerity, together with a distinct style that's easy to understand, directly affect anyone who readsthem. Those who seriously consider these books, can no longer advocate atheism or any other per-verted ideology or materialistic philosophy, since these books are characterized by rapid effec-tiveness, definite results, and irrefutability. Even if they continue to do so, it will be only a senti-mental insistence, since these books refute such ideologies from their very foundations. All con-temporary movements of denial are now ideologically defeated, thanks to the books written byHarun Yahya.
This is no doubt a result of the Qur'an's wisdom and lucidity. The author modestly intends toserve as a means in humanity's search for Allah's right path. No material gain is sought in the pub-lication of these works.
Those who encourage others to read these books, to open their minds and hearts and guidethem to become more devoted servants of Allah, render an invaluable service.
Meanwhile, it would only be a waste of time and energy to propagate other books that createconfusion in people's minds, lead them into ideological chaos, and that clearly have no strong andprecise effects in removing the doubts in people's hearts, as also verified from previous experience.It is impossible for books devised to emphasize the author's literary power rather than the noblegoal of saving people from loss of faith, to have such a great effect. Those who doubt this can read-ily see that the sole aim of Harun Yahya's books is to overcome disbelief and to disseminate theQur'an's moral values. The success and impact of this service are manifested in the readers' con-viction.
One point should be kept in mind: The main reason for the continuing cruelty, conflict, andother ordeals endured by the vast majority of people is the ideological prevalence of disbelief. Thiscan be ended only with the ideological defeat of disbelief and by conveying the wonders of cre-ation and Qur'anic morality so that people can live by it. Considering the state of the world today,leading into a downward spiral of violence, corruption and conflict, clearly this service must beprovided speedily and effectively, or it may be too late.
In this effort, the books of Harun Yahya assume a leading role. By the will of Allah, thesebooks will be a means through which people in the twenty-first century will attain the peace, jus-tice, and happiness promised in the Qur'an.

According to Darwinists’ erroneous way of thinking, they supposed there is only oneexplanation for the emergence of living things in nature: All are descended from thevery first living cell, which developed spontaneously as the result of blind coincidences.
Over the course of time—and again by chance—earlier species gradually trans-formed into other genetically different species. To put it another way, Darwinism feelsthat in order to account for the emergence of life, all that’s needed are coincidences, nat-ural events and long periods of time. According to Darwinists, life emerged through acombination of these accidents, for which reason there can be no question of such con-cepts as reason, intelligence or even consciousness (Allah is beyond this) playing anypart in the process.
From their assertion, it follows that the fossil record—and specifically, fossil skulls—should contain clear evidence of this imaginary unconscious process that took placeover millions of years. If species really are descended from earlier life forms, then inter-mediate signs of the process should be visible throughout the fossil record. If life formsreach their most advanced forms at the end of a number of previous stages, then thenumber of fossilized life forms in the process of changing—from fish to reptiles, fromreptiles to mammals, and from mammals to intermediate life forms that supposedlytook to flying in the air, should be much greater than the number of fossils that hadcompleted the imaginary evolutionary process.
There should be billions of such fossils, and the fictitious process of evolution shouldbe crystal clear from them. The fossil record, therefore, should constitute one of themost important proofs of the theory of evolution.
And in fact, Charles Darwin himself was well aware of this:
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking most closely all the species of thesame group together, must assuredly have existed. . . . Consequently, evidence of their former exis-tence could be found only amongst fossil remains.1
. . . the number of intermediate and transitional links, between all living and extinct species, musthave been inconceivably great.2
But the truth revealed by the fossil record is very different! Millions of fossils belong-ing to tens of thousands of different species have been discovered. All of these representfully formed and complete life forms, each with a perfect appearance and complexity.There is no trace of the intermediate species expected by Darwin and so longed for byall Darwinists since.

According to Darwinist logic, tigers, hares, cats, but-
terflies, and brightly colored flowers—as well as
thinking, reasoning, feeling human beings capable of tak-
ing precautions and signing their names to scientific ad-
vances—have all emerged by chance, spontaneously,
ever since when natural elements and phenomena such
as mud, rain, lightning, thunder and wind combined over
long periods of time to create life. However, this myth is
so ridiculous that not even a primary school student
could possibly believe it.

Not a single intermediate form has been found anywhere in the world. Life forms tens of millionsof years old have exactly the same appearance as their living counterparts today. Ants, flies, fish,bears, spiders, tigers and lions alive today are exactly the same as their counterparts that lived mil-lions of years in the past. All have exactly the same levels of complexity as their ancient counterparts.They have never changed—in other words, they never evolved.
This applies to all the other living things on Earth, plants and animals alike. Fish have neverchanged, and neither have birds. Reptiles have survived unchanged, and so have crustaceans. Thereare countless fossil specimens that show that living things have never changed. This is the truthplaced on display throughout the volumes that comprise the Atlas of Creation series. These booksconsider only a very small part of all the fossils that demonstrate how living things have always re-mained exactly the same. Without exception, all the millions of fossils obtained to date, constitute ev-idence that evolution never happened.
The fossils presented in this book totally demolish one of Darwinists’ major claims: their scenario ofmammalian evolution. These fossil skulls, millions of years old, show that these mammals lived in exact-ly the same forms as those alive today—which fact deals a serious blow to Darwinism. The realization

termining the borders between one rock layer

identification of all the strata present, the for-

fossils as well as their location can both be
determined.
No trace of any life form that could possibly be proposed
as the supposed ancestor of the starfish has ever been
found. Neither have starfish been observed to develop in-
to any other life form. They have been in existence for
hundreds of millions of years, and if Darwinist claims were
true, they should long ago have turned into other forms of
marine life, or even have become terrestrial creatures. Yet
no such transition has ever taken place. This 430-million-
year-old starfish fossil completely refutes all claims that
evolution represents the origin of new species.

Excavations carried out over the last

Baldo in Italy, which demonstrates
that crabs have always existed as
crabs.
One substance in which the very best-preserved fossils appear is amber.
Fossils within amber resulted when the clear sap or resin secreted by trees
solidifies around living things and preserved them as they were at the
very moment of death. These 25-million-year-old flying ants are
specimens that invalidate the theory of evolution.

This life form, which
lived 57 million years
ago, is identical to
its counterparts living
today. Like hundreds of
thousands of other spe-
cies today, this fossilized
one has never undergone
any changes in the
intervening
time.
At an era when evolutionists maintain
that a primitive environment prevailed,
already there were complex life forms
with exactly the same appearance and
physical structures that they display to-
day. Even tens of millions of years ago,
the Earth was filled with highly sophisti-
cated and well-formed species with all the
characteristics they possess today.

that so many birds, reptiles, fish and finally mammals never underwent evolution strongly suggeststhat the idea of human evolution is utter nonsense, too. The idea of human evolution, for whichDarwinists have been unable to provide any shred of evidence, has been totally discredited by themillions of “living fossils” representing species that are still alive today.
The fossils depicted in this book represent just a very few of the mammal skulls discovered to date.Anyone with common sense who examines these will agree that each fossil shows that the given spe-cies of mammal has remained unchanged in the form in which it was originally created. That, in turn,will lead to a better understanding of the deceptive nature of Darwinism, which maintains that hu-man beings are only another species of animal descended from apes. In the same way that evolutionnever happened over the course of natural history, so there is no equivalent “turning point” in hu-man history. All the hoaxes perpetrated to keep this deception alive have been proven vain. The sub-lime and flawless Creation of our Lord Allah, the Creator and sole Lord of all entities, is plain for ev-eryone to grasp. The artistry of our Lord, Who creates from nothing, is displayed all over the world.
You can see this for yourself merely from glancing at a rose in the garden, at a bird’s wing, at allthe countless living species in all their variety, or at the magnified image of just one single cell. Thefossil record has provided plentiful evidence that makes it impossible to deny this immaculateCreation. No objections can any longer be raised to this conclusive evidence.
Darwinists are struggling in vain because willingly or not, they have finally come to admit thedeath of the theory of evolution. All their efforts aimed at keeping Darwinism alive are helpless anddespairing. Nobody any longer attach any credence to Darwinism. No doubt, the most rational courseof action is to see the truth and shun one’s past errors, abandon any false dream, and to cease wast-ing one’s time in this world—which was created as a place of testing—on such a hollow goal.

Darwin’s thesis that human beings and apes are descended from a common ancestor wasnever supported by any scientific findings, neither when he first proposed it, not afterward.All the efforts exerted from then to the present—a period of some 150 years—have been invain. All the fossils obtained to date have proved that apes have always existed as apes, thathuman beings have always existed as human beings, that apes did not turn into humans andthat apes, and that humans have no common ancestor.
Despite Darwinists’ intensive propaganda and efforts aimed at intimidating academic cir-cles, many scientists have nevertheless issued unequivocal statements that the idea of humanevolution is not based on any scientific data. One such is the Harvard University paleoan-thropologist David Pilbeam:
If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline andshowed him the meager evidence we’ve got, he’d surely say, “Forgetit; there isn't enough to go on.”3
William Fox, whose book The Bone Peddlers takespaleoanthropology as its subject matter, also says thatso-called human evolution is unsupported by anyscientific findings:
As we have seen, there are numerous scientists andpopularizes today who have the temerity to tell us that

there is “no doubt” how man originated. If only they had the evidence. . . . .4
Faced by the disappointment inflicted on them by the fossil record and their own lack ofevidence, evolutionists were reduced to setting skulls out one after the other, in a totally in-valid sequence, and to speculating about these fossils, whose fraudulent nature had in anycase long since been documented.
In fact, the analysis of skulls belonging to apes, other life forms, and to human races thatonce lived in the past shows that all of them possessed all their characteristics during thecourse of their existence, and that they never underwent any changes. Living things neverevolved, but were all created by Allah. As you shall see from the specimens included in thefollowing pages, just as numerous life forms such as frogs, lizards, dragonflies, flies andcockroaches have undergone no changes in their limbs and other organs, so have their headsundergone no changes. The head regions of birds and fish have also remained unchanged.
The skulls of countless mammals such as leopards, wolves, foxes, tigers, rhinoceroses, ti-gers, pandas, lions and hyenas have also stayed exactly the same over the millions of yearssince they were first created. This stability constitutes a definitive refutation of the idea thatliving things evolved.
The stability that all these life forms reveal also applies to human beings. In thesame way that the skull structures of tens of thousands of species have notchanged over millions of years, so there have been no alterations in thehuman skull. Fish have always existed as fish, birds as birds, rep-tiles as reptiles, and human s as human beings. There is noevidence of steady progress from the primitive tothe more advanced, of the kind claimed byevolutionists, in the organs or structuresof any living thing.
In relating the fictitious story of hu-man evolution, evolutionists point tothe volume, eyebrow protrusionsor brow structures of theskulls they find, and set uptheir own supposed evo-

lutionary sequence and family trees. But the structural differences in fossil skulls are no evi-dence of evolution: These skulls belong either to extinct species of apes, or else to various hu-man races that once existed. It is entirely logical that skulls belonging to different human ra-ces should display structural differences. Different species of fish have differently shapedheads. For example, the head shape of a trout bears no resemblance to that of an eel, althoughboth are fish. Similarly, there may be differences between the skulls of different human races.
It is perfectly natural that there should be differences in the eye sockets, forehead struc-tures, muscular structures and skull volumes between Pygmies and
British people, Russians and Chinese, Australian Aborigines andEskimos, Negroes and Japanese But these differences do notmean that one race is descended from another, or is more prim-itive or more advanced than another. An aboriginal race will al-ways maintain the same distinctive features for as long as itdoes not intermarry with members of another race. No matterhow much time passes, these human beings will never evolvein such a way as to acquire different characteristics. Their skullvolumes will not become any larger than they are now, andthey will not acquire different anatomi-
cal structures.For example, various
Malaysian native peoples livingtoday possess the same largemuscular protrusions and back-
ward-slanting brow structureas that of the skulls of Homo
erectus, which evolution-
Many species of ape have existed overthe course of geologic history, and thegreat majority of them have since be-come extinct. Darwinists use these ex-tinct apes’ skulls to engage in variouskinds of speculation.

ists regard as being a primitive ancestor. If ev-olutionists’ claims were true, the Malaysiannatives in question should have a structureand appearance of humans who have recentlyevolved from being apes and have not yet de-veloped fully into Homo sapiens. Yet that isnot the case at all. The fact that anatomical fea-tures of the H. erectus skull can still be seen to-day shows that H. erectus was not a primitivespecies and also, that evolutionists’ scenario ofthe human family tree is a fiction.
In short, the fact that some past human ra-ces had anatomical structures different fromhuman beings alive today in no way consti-tutes evidence in favor of evolution.Anatomical distinctions can be seen in all peri-ods of recorded history and among all differ-ent human races. Americans and Japanese,Europeans and Australian Aborigines,Eskimos and Negroes or Pygmies all havedistinctively different skulls. But this doesnot mean that some of these races are anymore developed or more backward than theothers.
If, thousands of years in the future, scien-tists discover the skull of an American wholived in the 2000s and was some 1.90 meters
Features of the Homoerectus skull, such as
the protrusions over
the eyebrows and its
backward-sloping
brow, can also be seen
in certain present-day
races, such as the na-
tive Malaysian on the
left.
An aboriginal race will preserve its charac-
teristic unless it becomes intermixed with an-
other race. It will not, for example, develop
into a Western European race. No matter
how much time elapses, these people will
never evolve in such a way as to acquire dif-
ferent characteristics; will never acquire a
greater skull size than the one they have
now, and will never acquire new anatomical
features.

tall, and compare it with the skull of a Japanese individual who also lived in the 2000s but was only1.60 meters tall, they will observe a great many differences between them—first and foremost, interms of size. If, on the basis of these differences, they then suggest, that the Japanese were primitiveand that Americans were several rungs higher up the developmental ladder, of course they will bemaking an interpretation that in no way reflects the true state of affairs.
In addition, skull volume is no criterion for measuring anyone’s intelligence or capacities. Thereare many humans with well-developed bodies but insufficiently developed intelligence. In the sameway, many people have bodies and therefore, skulls, smaller than those of others, but who are nev-ertheless highly intelligent. Their skulls cannot be evaluated by the scientists of the future, at leastnot in a scientifically valid way and on the basis of dimensions alone, to set out any supposed evo-lutionary line of progression—because that sequence will not reflect the true facts. Differences inskull size are known to be totally unrelated to intelligence and ability. If someone spends his life inintense mental activity, his skull will not grow in size. Only his mental abilities will get stronger..Intelligence varies, not in relation to skull size, but according to the organization within the brain it-self.5
The following pages offer just a few examples of the countless fossil skulls that invalidate the the-ory of evolution. These specimens all prove that no life form has ever changed during its natural his-tory; they have all existed with the same features they enjoyed when they were first created. In ad-dition to this evidence, this book also contains statements that indicate and emphasize the dilemmasfacing Darwinist thinking. For example, Darwinists, who illogically maintain that living things de-velop by constant change, are asked to account for the evident stability in every fossil life form. Thetheory of evolution, which suggests that human beings are allegedly descended from apes, has to ex-plain why no process, similar to the imaginary one it claims took place in apes, occurred in other lifeforms. Evolutionists have no answer as to why a bear did not one day decide to walk on two legs,why a fox did not raise its level of intelligence enough to become a professor, or why a panda neverbecame a composer writing stupendous symphonies. The rea-son why the subject is discussed using examples and logicalprogressions accessible even to children is that Darwinismis constructed upon unbelievable illogicality. Depicted as ascientific theory, Darwinism is in fact an unbelievably illogi-cal ideology.
People have now fully realized that Darwinism, the worstscandal in the history of the world, is built around lies, hoaxesand irrational claims. In the 21st century, the whole world iswitnessing Darwinism’s collapse.

HUMAN RACES THAT ONCE EXISTED IN THE PAST ARE NO
EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION
The Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) suddenlyemerged in Europe around 100,000 years ago and
became extinct—or else became completely assimilat-ed by other races—some 35,000 years ago. The onlydifferences between them and present-day humans arethat their rather more powerful skeletons and theirslightly larger average skull sizes. Scientific findingsshow that the Neanderthals were a human race no dif-ferent, in terms of intelligence and cultural levels, fromourselves.Cro-Magnon man, on the other hand, is of a race esti-mated to have lived until 30,000 years ago. It had adome-shaped skull and a broad forehead. Its 1600-cu-bic centimeter skull volume is again, slightly greater thanthat of present-day humans. Cro-Magnon had thick pro-trusions over its eyebrows, and a bony protrusion on theback of the head that is a characteristic of Neanderthalman.The visible differences between the Neanderthals andCro-Magnons can also be seen among present-day hu-man races. In the same way that structural differencesbetween an Anglo-Saxon and an Eskimo or an Africanand a European do not suggest that one race is moredeveloped or backward than another, so physical differ-ences between races that existed in the past do not im-ply that one was more backward or “ape-like” than anyother. These races disappeared from the Earth by be-coming assimilated with other races or by becoming ex-tinct in some other way. But they were still fully fledgedhuman beings, not at all “primitive” or “ape-like.”

THE MYTH OF HUMAN EVOLUTION ISFILLED WITH HOAXES
PPiillttddoowwnn MMaann:: A fossil skull was discovered in 1912 and de-scribed as belonging to a half-human, half-ape species. Forthe next 40 years or so, evolutionists used this fossil as one oftheir supposedly strongest pieces of evidence, making count-less analyses and illustrations of it in a statement issued on 21November 1953, however, Piltdown Man was finally declared
to be a hoax. A dating test performed 40 years afterits discovery revealed that the jawbone and the
skull did not actually belong to each other.More detailed examination revealed that the“Piltdown Man” skull had been assembled by
adding an orangutan jaw to a hu-man skull, which was then agedusing potassium dichromate. Theway that the skull had been dis-played in London’s NaturalHistory Museum for 40 years andthat no permission had been giv-en for detailed scientific studiesto be carried out during that timehas gone down as a major scien-tific scandal.

M ore than 6,000 species of ape have existed at one time or another. The great ma-jority of them have since become extinct and vanished, leaving only some 120 spe-
cies alive today. But the fossils belonging to these nearly 6,000 extinct species represent arich source of hoaxes for evolutionists. Unable to point to any concrete evidence, evolution-ists surround fossils of extinct apes with biased analyses and then present them as evi-dence for evolution.
For years now, evolutionists have been employing such methods in order to gather sup-porters and mislead the public. However, they now need to see that these methods are ofno use. The false evidence used by evolutionists to make their tall tales ofthe alleged human evolution seem more credible—and the debunk-ing of that evidence—are summarized below. However, thereare many more evolutionist hoaxes than the few consideredhere. All the “ancestor of man” reports in the media, aswell as the illustrations accompanying them are com-pletely fictitious. Concrete scientific discoverieshave now demolished the story that human beingsbecame human by means of a gradual course of de-velopment.
Fossils discovered on the islands ofJava in 1891 and 1892 were given thename Java Man (Pithecanthropus erec-tus). Fossils discovered near Pekin in1923-1927 were given the name PekinMan (Sinanthropus pekinensis). In1939, however, two experts, Ralph vonKoenigswald and Franz Weidenreich,revealed that both were actually normalhuman beings.(1) And Ernst Mayr fromHarvard University had classified bothas human in 1944.(2)

This attempt by evolutionists to reconstruct a liv-ing thing on the basis of a single tooth is a strik-ing instance of how biased and misleading theycan be when it comes to defending and imposingtheir theories.

Erik Trinkhaus, an expert onthe subject of the Neanderthals and also an evolutionist, has ad-mitted that, “Detailed comparisons of Neanderthal skeletal re-mains with those of modern humans have shown that there isnothing in Neanderthal anatomy that conclusively indicates loco-motor, manipulative, intellectual, or linguistic abilities inferior tothose of modern humans.”(4)
In addition, the size ofthe Neanderthal Manskull—200 cubic centime-ters greater than that ofpresent-day humans—re-veals the invalidity of theclaim that it was an inter-mediate form between hu-mans and apes.

place, then the Earth’s

living things should have been dis-
tinctly abnormal in appearance be-
cause of the effects of mutations. Organs
subjected to mutation many times over
should have turned into abnormal forms.
Before attaining their perfect and attractive present ap-
pearance, these living things must first have had abnormal transitional ap-
pearances. For example, before the emergence of the highly sym-
metrical human face with its two ears, two eyes, nose and
mouth, there must have been a great many abnormal mu-

ears and eyes, the nose sited right between the
eyes or on the chin, or where the ear should have
been, and countless other such abnormalities.

features such as semi-developed bones, teeth atop of
the skull, misplaced eyes in the jaw or asymmetrical three
nostrils. If—as evolutionists would have us believe—
horses attained their present forms by constantly chang-
ing and going through a great many different stages, then
a great many skulls should exhibit structural impair-
ments, as seen here.
Traces of the mutations
to which horses were
subjected should also
be visible in the fossil
record. Yet no such tra-
ces have ever been en-
countered. Fossils are
proof that horses never
evolved.
Horses have a wide capacity for variation
among themselves. Breeds of horse living
today, though all of the same species, are
very different in terms of their structures
and dimensions. The error of the evolu-
tionists who set up the so-called equine
evolution series lay in depicting fossils of
these different breeds as an evolutionary
sequence.

Many evolutionists openly admit the invalidity of the
equine evolution scenario. A four-day conference at-
tended by 150 evolutionists held at the Chicago
Museum of Natural History in November 1981, consid-
ered the problems facing the gradual theory of evolu-
tion. At that conference, Boyce Rensberger stated that
there was no basis in the fossil record for the equine
evolution scenario and that no such process as grad-
ual equine evolution ever happened:
The popularly told example of horse evolution, sug-
gesting a gradual sequence of changes from four-toed
fox-sized creatures living nearly 50 million years ago
to today’s much larger one-toed horse, has long been
known to be wrong. Instead of gradual change, fossils
of each intermediate species appear fully distinct, per-
sist unchanged, and then become extinct. Transitional
forms are unknown. (Boyce Rensberger, Houston
Chronicle, 5 November, 1980, Part 4, p. 15.)
A great many different breeds of hors-
es are living in different parts of the
world today.

There are countless scenarios concerning the myth of hu-
man evolution, none any scientific basis. All consist of
speculations invented to persuade people to view them-
selves as chance entities descended from apes. All the
fossils that Darwinists claimed as intermediate fossils in
the imaginary human evolution series were subsequent-
ly proven to belong either to various species of monkey
or else to human races. It is a scientific fact that monkeys
have always existed as monkeys and never developed
into any other life form. One of the proofs documenting
this is the 32-million-year-old monkey skull illustrated.
This fossil is identical to to the skulls of present-day
monkeys. There are no traces showing any changes in
the direction of Homo sapiens.

No one lacking preconceived ideas, but who
thinks in a free and honest manner, can possibly
believe that unconscious atoms assembled them-
selves as the result of chance, organized them-
selves, and gave rise to human beings who think,
reason, feel see, hear, make discoveries and pro-

Countless discoveries made in tens of differentfields of science have shown that the supersti-tious beliefs of Darwinism can no longer bemaintained. One such piece of evidence is the4.9-million-year-old wolf skull shown here.

The theory of evolution, developed in the prim-itive scientific climate in Darwin’s time andmaintained in an environment of ignorancethrough such tactics as imagination, prejudice,sleight of hand and demagoguery, has now col-lapsed in the face of modern scientific discover-ies. The fossil record has shown that intermedi-ate forms exist only in evolutionists’ imagina-tions and that each species was individually cre-ated.

The history of paleontology is full of examples of fos-sils that invalidate evolution being hidden away inmuseum warehouses. Pictures of the first specimens ofCambrian Period fossils to be discovered were con-cealed for 70 years in the storerooms of theSmithsonian Institution because they represented ma-jor evidence that fundamentally refuted evolution.Given such an example, it was inevitable that the the-ory of evolution would attempt to conceal specimensof countless living fossils subsequently unearthed, andfor exactly the same reason. However, the situationwas by no means what Darwinists had been expecting.
Darwinists never imagined that so many specimens ofso-called “living fossils” would be discovered. Thenumber of fossil specimens unearthed in excavationscarried out to date is exceedingly high. One example isthis horse skull dating back 4.3 million years, which isidentical to the skull of present-day horses.

million years ago. This 67-million-year-
old snow leopard skull, identical in all re-

Contrary to Darwinists’ expectations, this
animal which, according to the theory of
evolution, should have taken a very long
time to develop gradually actually ap-
pears suddenly and fully formed in the
fossil record with no intermediate form or
forerunners behind it. Evolutionists need
to account for this sudden and flawless

The extreme rarity of transitional forms in thefossil record persists as the trade secret of pa-leontology . . .

As Gould admitted, there is no evidence thatany evolutionary process ever took place. Allscientific findings reveal that life is actuallythe work of Almighty Allah. One such find-ing is a 48-million-year old bear skull.

The record jumps, and all the evidence shows that therecord is real: the gaps we see reflect real events inlife's history-not the artifact of a poor fossilrecord.7—Evolutionist Niles Eldredge
What Eldredge means is that now we have a
sufficiently high number of fossil specimens
to let us see how natural history developed.
In terms of the supposed process of evolu-
tion, however, there are also huge gaps
between these specimens. The reason
for this is not any lack of fossilized
examples, but rather that these fos-
sils are incompatible with any ev-

As a basis for claiming that human beings are descend-ed from apes, Darwinists point to the imitativeability of certain species of monkey. Monkeysare able to mimic actions and behavior theysee, but this does not allow them to eventual-ly evolve into human beings. If it did, thenother species of animal also known to be in-telligent should also have become possessedof human attributes. Parrots, for example,are also able to mimic human speech.Therefore, according to Darwinists’nonsensical claims, there must be agreater likelihood of parrots develop-ing human speech.
Countless findings, such as the 36-mil-lion-year-old monkey skull illustratedhere, prove that living things have alwaysremained the same, have never changed,and never developed into any other lifeform—and that it’s meaningless to insist onsuch illogical claims.

If evolutionist logic were correct, ponies should long since havedeveloped into larger horses. However, as the fossil recordmakes perfectly clear, ponies have survived for tens of millionsof years without undergoing even the slightest change.
This stability, or stasis, applies to all living species, and repre-sents one of the most serious problems confronting Darwinism,because it demolishes evolution’s fundamental claim, that all
living things are descended from a supposed commonancestor and have diversified by one species
evolving into others.

Darwinists cannot account for the trilobite’s eye, which these crustaceans already possessed aslong as 530 million years ago. Darwinists cannot explain how living things in the sea, on landand in the air appeared suddenly and survived unchanged for the entire course of their exis-tence. Darwinists maintain that one species developed into another, but they cannot explainhow a single original cell could change in such a way as to assume different functions in a mul-ti-cellular creature. Darwinism is a theory at a dead end, and is gradually dying out as new dis-coveries are made with every passing day.

As evidence for the so-called evolution of man, Darwinistspointed to a very limited number of fossils. Many years ago,
they interpreted them as their most important specimens ofintermediate forms. However, subsequent scientific
progress has shown that the fossils in question be-longed either to monkeys or else to hu-
man races that existed at some timein the past. For that reason, all theso-called evidence for human evolu-tion has gradually been removedfrom the scientific literature. The on-
ly reason why some Darwinist publi-cations still refer to these fossils is en-
tirely speculative—they are of no scien-tific value at all.
Another scientific finding that revealsthat the evolution of man is a lie and thathuman beings did not evolve from anyprevious life form is the countless num-bers of fossils unearthed. One such ex-ample is this 69-million-year-old greywolf skull, showing that this species ofanimal has never changed over thecourse of millions of years. This stasis,which applies to all living things, cer-
tainly applies to monkeys as well.

Fossil specimens dating back millions of years, when compared with present-day life forms, reveal
that there was no transition in morphology and that evolution from one species to another never
happened. This fact applies equally to ants and butterflies, polar bears and lizards, and fruit flies
and zebras. Darwin’s theory of evolution is unsupported by any scientific findings whatsoever. No
evidence to support it has ever been produced since Darwin’s day. And with every passing day, the
fossil record makes that lack of evidence even more obvious. This 4.3-million-year-old raccoon skull

Darwinists have created a story to explain the sup-posed evolution of every single life form. SinceDarwinism is not based upon reason, logic or anyscientific evidence, producing a scenario regard-ing the development of a specific life form de-pends on the power of conjecture, Darwinists’most highly developed talent. But Darwinists nev-er expected that so many fossils would be discov-ered revealing that living never changed with thepassage of time. They imagined that “living fossils”were very few in number and could easily be ex-plained away, at least to their own minds. Theynever thought that such definitive proof wouldbe unearthed that all living things have re-mained exactly the same. Therefore, they neverexpected that one by one, all their tall taleswould be totally discredited. They were una-ware that every plot would eventually, as alaw of Allah, be neutralized.
Since this 4.4-million-year-old bear skull is iden-tical to the skulls of bears alive today, it constitutesa definitive refutation of the theory of evolution.

In 1993, Stephen Jay Gould wrote inthe magazine Natural History aboutthe way living species things can beobserved to have exactly the samecharacteristics throughout the fossilrecord:
Stasis, or nonchange of most fossil spe-cies during their lengthy geological life-spans, was tacitly acknowledged by allpaleontologists, but almost never stud-ied explicitly because prevailing theorytreated stasis as uninteresting nonevi-dence for nonevolution . . . [T]he over-whelming prevalence of stasis becamean embarrassing feature of the fossilrecord, but left ignored as a manifesta-tion of nothing (that is, nonevolution).8
The only reason why evolutionists referto the stasis in the fossil record as “em-barrassing” is that if living things expe-rience no changes, that invalidates thetheory of evolution. This information,which shows that evolution never hap-pened, is evidence for the fact ofCreation.

In thisway, they came up with a totally unrealistic sequence. Different researchers have produced morethan 20 horse evolution sequences, all very different from one another, and there is no evolutionistconsensus regarding any of them.

Fossil skulls are among the best evidence thatliving things have never changed over thecourse of history, have never developedinto other life forms, and that everyliving species has been created to-gether with its own unique attrib-utes. These proofs emphasize thedilemmas facing and illogicality ofDarwinian thinking. The theory ofevolution, which maintains thathuman beings are descendedfrom apes, needs to explainwhy it is that no process simi-lar to the imaginary transitionfrom ape to human was everundergone by any other formof life. Evolutionists have noanswer to the question ofwhy, for example, a jungle catdid not one day decide towalk upright on two legs, orwhy a fox did not improve its in-telligence level and turn into aprofessor, or why a panda is una-ble to produce admirable works of art.Darwinism, depicted as a scientific theory, is in fact an un-believable ideology.

Like hun-dreds of thousands of contem-porary species of which fossilremains also exist, it never un-derwent evolution at any time.From fossils such as these, it isnot difficult to estimate thekind of living conditions thatexisted millions of years ago.The Earth of millions of yearsago was not all that differentfrom the Earth of today. Apartfrom a few complex life formsthat have since become extinct,contemporary life forms withthe same appearances as theirsurvivors have today predom-inated. The fossil recordproves this, and Darwinistshave no response to give tothis proven fact.

CAMEL SKULL
According to evolutionist claims, the camel’s
large skull, long neck and humps must be the re-
sult of a large sequence of mutations. As a result,
there should have been innumerable mammals
with semi-lengthened necks, odd-shaped heads
and incipient humps. These imaginary life forms
should be encountered frequently in the fossil
record, and there should be no trace of fully-
formed camels dating back millions of years, like
the one shown here. But data from the fossil
record show that such imaginary transitional
forms never existed. Camels never passed
through any intermediate stages, and have al-
ways existed as fully-formed camels.
Throughout the course of natural history,
human beings have always been human,
and apes have always been apes. Not one
single example of an intermediate form
indicating some transition between the
two has ever been found. This applies to
all living things as well. Just as with the
grizzly bear skull depicted here. This
creature had exactly the same appearance
when it was first created as it has today,
and did not evolve from any other life
form. This 89-million-year-old skull is
one of the most important proofs. At the
same time, this evidence constitutes a sig-
nificant response to all Darwinist claims
regarding the origin of Man.

Darwinists have always produced false evidence in
order to make their scenario of human evolution
seem more credible, at least in their own eyes. Just a
few examples include Piltdown Man, displayed for
40 years and then exposed as a hoax; Nebraska Man,
whose entire life was reconstructed on the basis of a
single molar tooth; Ramapithecus, portrayed as an in-
termediate form for 50 years; and Lucy, which is still
depicted as an intermediate form, even though the
invalidity of this idea has been clearly established
and admitted by scientists. Darwinists attempt to
trace the imaginary process known as human evolu-
tion from nothing. But all their efforts, all based on
falsehoods, have been in vain.
In contrast, paleontological research has revealed
fossils of species that have remained unchanged for
millions of years. This 78-million-year-old bear skull
is one example. Since living things have never
changed, and not even a shred of evidence supports
evolution, all speculation to the effect that human
beings also evolved remains groundless.

HYENA SKULL
The history of evolution is filled with hoaxes.
Attempts have been made to portray fossils of
various extinct life forms or even a few frag-
ments of fossilized bone as evidence of imagi-
nary transitions. Fossils of living species have
long been described to the public by the evolu-
tionists as living things that have been evolving.
But a profound silence has now replaced all this
misleading speculation regarding fossils.
Eventually, as you can see from the 73-million-
year-old hyena skull shown here, it was realized
that many present-day life forms lived millions
of years ago in exactly the same forms they have
now and that therefore, they never evolved. The
time has now come for evolutionists to put an
end to their hoaxes and speculations about the
myth of human evolution.

This poses a major dilemma for the

TURTLE
Darwinists, who maintain that living species are de-
scended from another and develop by constant small
changes, are at a loss to explain the stasis, or total sta-
bility, observed within those same species. The theory
of evolution, which maintains that human beings are
descended from apes, must explain why no other life
forms underwent the imaginary transition similar to
the one from ape to human. Evolutionists have no ra-
tional and logical answer to give. Birds never
changed. Rhinoceroses, foxes and hyenas never
changed; and neither did the 98-million-year turtle
shown here.
Neither did human beings. The idea that Darwinists
seek to impose on the public—that living things make
progress by small changes and eventually develop in-
to other life forms entirely—is a massive lie.

ASIAN LION SKULL
No living thing ever decided on its own that
its characteristics were insufficient or needed
to be improved, and therefore assumed the at-
tributes of some other life form. No bear ever
decided one day to walk on two legs, and no
lion ever one day began speaking words.
Lions, tigers and giraffes have always been
exactly the same, never altering in the slight-
est. This 79-million-year-old Asian lion
skull—identical to those of members of the
species alive today—is evidence that these an-
imals never evolved. Almighty Allah has cre-
ated all living things out of nothing, and in
their perfect forms. The hopeless position in
which Darwinists now find themselves stems
from their reluctance to see this.

DONKEY SKULL
At heart, Darwinism is built on false logic. Great numbers of people
have been convinced that the cell developed spontaneously out of mud-
dy water, that hundreds of thousands of species descended from one an-
other through random changes by way of mutations—and that interme-
diate forms, the evidence left over from these changes, will inevitably be
discovered one day. According to Darwinist logic, all living species and
even our own civilization are the results of a certain amount of mud, a
great deal of time and blind chance. However, the cell cannot be pro-
duced even under technological conditions in a controlled environment
such as the laboratory. Ninety-nine percent of mutations are harmful,
the remaining 1% having no effect at all. And the mechanism known as
natural selection has no power to effect evolution.
Not one single example of a transitional form has ever been found in the
fossil record. All that has been excavated is the remains of living things
that remained unchanged for millions of years. The 59-million-year-old
donkey skull shown here, identical to the skulls of present-day donkeys,
is one of these.

ARCTIC FOX SKULL
This skull of an arctic fox, a member of the canine family, dates back some 59 million years. This animal has
exactly same features as contemporary arctic foxes. This animal has never changed at all over the course of
millions of years. In order for Darwinist claims to be regarded as true, the arctic fox would have to evolve
through countless intermediate stages before it emerged with its flawless, fully formed characteristics.
Also, the remains of these innumerable stages should be visible in the fossil record. Yet not only are there
no intermediate-form arctic fox fossils, there are no intermediate fossils belonging to any living thing. This
59-million-year-old arctic fox is a proof that the species did not come into being in stages, as evolutionists
maintain, but that it came into existence suddenly, together with all its characteristics. In short, the artic fox

JACKAL SKULL
No fossil indicating that life forms share common ances-
tors has ever been found. In the fossil record, there is no
sign that living things are in a constant state of change.
Then why are Darwinists so determined to cling to
their theory? Why do they insist of defending the
idea that living things evolved, when there is so
much evidence that they were in fact created by
Allah? The reason is ideological. Defending the
theory of evolution is of vital importance for
materialist and atheist ideologies.
No matter how much Darwinists per-
sist in the theory of evolution, the fos-
sil record constantly produces still
more evidence that totally discred-
its it. The 51-million-year jackal
skull pictured is one such exam-
ple. The fossil reveals that, just
like turtles, tigers, foxes, mink, li-
ons, rhinoceroses and all other
living things, jackals never un-
derwent evolution at any time.

When a living thing first appears in the fossil record, it then continues on in the same form for the
millions of years that follow. All the fossils illustrated in this book, such as this 65-million-year-old
coyote skull, are just a few examples. Like all other life forms, coyotes of 65 million years ago pos-
sessed the same appearance and structures as they do today. This totally demolishes the whole con-
cept of evolution.
This state of affairs, which applies
to all living things, inevitably ap-
plies to human beings as well.
Humans have always existed as
human beings, ever since the mo-
ment they were first created, and
have never undergone the slight-
est change. Given that so many
life forms clearly refute all claims
of evolution, there can be no sci-
entific foundation to the scenarios
concerning human evolution
dreamed up by Darwinists.

Seals are mammals with large eye sockets and special nasal systems. Seeing how these creatures

Indeed, when fossils of this life form are examined in detail, you can see that the same kinds of
seals in existence today were also alive some 48 million years ago and living in the oceans at that
time. This and countless other pieces of similar evidence all document how the theory of evolu-
tion needs to be consigned to the dusty shelves of history.

Like all their other physical characteristics,red wolves’ teeth and jaws have undergonenot the slightest structural change over mil-lions of years.
According to Darwinists, because this fossil dates back 82
million years, it should display a great many deficiencies
and semi-developed organs. There should have been a
great many pathologies in its eye sockets, jaw structure and
ears. But the true state of affairs is very different. The lion
skull illustrated, millions of years old, has been perfectly
preserved, and its details show that the animal’s perfect ap-
pearance is identical to that of lions today.
The only reason for Darwinists’ claims regarding the sup-
posed evolution of Man is that they possess a large number
of ape fossils which they can use to speculate. Yet the con-
clusion shown by the fossil record is a scientific one that no-
body can possibly deny: that life never evolved in any way,
and that no intermediate forms ever arose. Science totally

The fossil record has produced a great deal of information to which Darwinists have no scientific or
rational response:
- As is the case with all life forms, there is not a single intermediate-form fossil to show that the arc-
tic fox, developed or evolved in stages, before reaching its final present-day form.
- Arctic foxes living millions of years ago possessed the same complete and perfect structures as their
present-day counterparts. They had no supposedly more primitive appearances or structures.
- There is not the slightest difference between arctic foxes living today and those that lived 59 million
years ago. This shows that this species has remained unchanged for all that time.
All these facts lead Darwinists into a major quandary. The very fossils they hoped would support ev-
olution actually discredit their theories and reveal that the origin of all living things lies in Creation.

The ginkgo leaf fossil discovered by Darwin
in 1859, the earliest specimens of which date

panic in him. Darwin described this finding of
his as a “living fossil” and regarded it as a ma-

alive today, he would completely abandon his
theory in the face of the scale of the difficulties
facing it. Faced with the lack of any fossils to
support his theory during his lifetime, Darwin
left the problem to the future, hoping that in-
termediate forms would one day be discov-
ered.
Yet Darwin’s followers also failed to find what
he had hoped for. As you can see from the 84-

JACKAL SKULL
Darwin was unaware of living fossils dating back
millions of years. He imagined that the cell was a
balloon filled with liquid. In Darwin’s time, there
were no laboratories equipped with advanced
technology. There were no refrigerators, tele-
phones, typewriters or even pens, let alone labo-
ratories. The theory of evolution—the product of
that environment—is a hypothesis devoid of any
evidence, logic or foundation. This false theory,
launched in such an amateurish fashion, was
adopted for ideological reasons.
Yet conditions altered considerably in the 20th and
21st centuries. Investigations performed in labora-
tories using the very latest technology revealed
that the cell has an unbelievably complex struc-
ture. The odds of one single protein in a cell
emerging by chance were realized to be 1 in 10950.
Most importantly, the countless “living fossils”
discovered showed that Darwinist myths regard-
ing the origin of life were completely untrue.

Statements by George Gaylord Simpson, one of
the 20th century’s leading evolutionists, show just
howgreat the predicament facing the theory of ev-
olution truly is:
This is true of all thirty-two orders of mammals . . . The
earliest and [allegedly ]most primitive known members
of every order [of mammals] already have the basic or-
dinal characters, and in no case is an approximately
continuous sequence from one order to another known.
In most cases, the break is so sharp and the gap so large
that the origin of the order is speculative and much dis-
puted. . . .13

garding the origin of life is no more than specula-

During the formation of fossils, hard struc-tures such as bones and teeth are preservedmore easily than soft tissues. While soft tis-sues disappear, bony structures graduallyturn into inorganic ones. Minerals in bonetissue often have much the same structure asthe inorganic minerals in rocks. This replace-ment of molecules enables living things thatexisted tens of millions of years ago to bepreserved right down to the finest detail. Thestructural detail of the teeth and internalstructure of the bone tissue of the 74-million-year-old brown bear pictured can clearly beseen. Living things that existed millions ofyears ago had exactly the same bone tissueand perfect anatomy as their present-daycounterparts.

If a mindset can maintain that a living
cell with such a complex structure—
which scientists have still been unable to
replicate—gradually emerged by chance
from muddy water over a period of mil-

so claim that human beings that estab-
lish civilizations, govern states, perform
operations and give birth to ideas are al-
so the product of chance.
The Darwinist mindset is actually a very
primitive one, within which it is easy to
regard the impossible as likely. Behaving
as if there were evidence when in fact
there is none presents no problem. What
is difficult in that mindset is to find the

The internal structure ofthe fossil’s bones hasbeen preserved in com-plete detail.
Bat-eared foxes are distinguished from other
species of foxes by their large ears and small-
er teeth. This 71-million-year-old bat-eared
fox skull has just the same features as those
of specimens alive today. Darwinism there-
fore has no explanation to offer for either in-
dividual species or their tremendous variety.
Different fox species have existed in the fos-
sil record for millions of years. This is true of
a great many other life forms, and there is
not a single intermediate form to indicate the
imaginary transition from one form to an-
other. All this evidence leaves no room for
doubting Darwinism’s collapse and reveals
that living things were all created, together
with all their complex characteristics.

BAT-EARED FOX SKULL
In any case, argued Cuvier, drawing on specimens brought back by Napoleon’s savantsfrom the ...French incursions into Egypt, themummified forms of cats and birds and other or-ganisms—beings that lived literally thousandsof years ago—are absolutely identical forms liv-ing today. Where then is the evolution, thechange, in all of this? If Lamarck be right, weshould expect to see some change right beforeour eyes, and this we do not see.16
This admission by Michael Ruse emphasizes
how living things have been known not to
change ever since the idea of evolution be-
gan. The reality exhibited by the 64-million-
year-old bear skull illustrated is that the
species has never changed at any time.

Life on Earth displays a glorious diversity.
From the Poles to the Amazon, from the
depths of the oceans to freshwater pools,
from high mountains to beneath the ground
we walk upon, there is an astonishing diver-
sity everywhere. This diversity was present
millions of years ago, just as it is today. The
fossil record represents the remains of that
variety.
The countless fossils of fish, birds, reptiles
and land and sea creatures with their perfect
attributes have exactly the same forms as
their present-day counterparts. Fossils such
as the 49-million-year aardwolf fossil pic-
tured are evidence that no species ever
turned into any other. The reality they dem-
onstrate is Creation.

Darwinists have studied nature and attempted to
discover how such diversity came into being. They
adopted the primitive methods proposed by
Darwin himself and decided that living things must
have had a supposed common ancestor. The more
they studied the fossil record, however, the more
they encountered the counterparts of today’s living
things rather than any signs of any fictitious ances-
tor. Any rational and logical person who examines
at the scientific evidence objectively can easily see
that evolution does not constitute the origin of life.
But reason, logic, common sense and science were
all stifled under the spell of Darwinism.
But for those people who have managed to free
themselves from Darwinism’s spell, the 82-million-
year lion skull pictured is by itself sufficient evi-
dence of the invalidity of Darwinism. If this life
form has remained unchanged for 82 million
years—and if all the fossils of all other currently liv-
ing things confirm the same—then that means that
evolution never happened.
Hoimar von Ditfurth, author of The Silent Night ofthe Dinosaurs, says,
When we look back, we see that we need not be surprisedthat we have been unable to find those transitional formsso almost painfully sought. Because in all likelihood, nosuch intermediate stage ever happened.17
Even though von Ditfurth has tried to rescue evo-
lutionists from their predicament by referring to a
“strong possibility,” the fact still remains that no
stage-by-stage process ever happened. All stages of
the fossil record is full of living things that
emerged suddenly, fully formed, and with all their
limbs and organs, as opposed to entities that came
into being through a gradual process. One such ex-
ample is the 31-million-year Tasmanian devil skull
illustrated here.

The fossil record has revealed that Darwin’s

today stems from an inability to accept this er-

sel skull pictured once again proves that this
species has never changed. Every fossil exam-

of transition from one form to another. It’s
now time for contemporary evolutionists to
come to terms with Darwin’s mistake and to
admit the scientific facts.

All the details of this fossil show thatweasels living tens of millions of yearsago had the same flawless and prefectattributes as those living today.
Tigers have never changed over the many
millions of years their species has existed;
neither have lions, bears, foxes or jackals.
The 58-million-year-old wild boar, whose
skull is pictured, has not altered, either.
Fossils such as these, belonging to count-
less life forms, show that living things have
never been subjected to the slightest
change. This in turn entirely discredits ev-
olutionist speculation regarding the ficti-
tious evolution of man. There is no evi-
dence that living things evolved, and not
humans, either. On the contrary, the fossils
left behind by all living things completely
refute evolution. Evolution never hap-
pened, and each of the fossils illustrated in
this book is a separate proof of that.

BOAR SKULL
Darwinists were their able to gather their original supporters by using a very primitive logic. In a
climate of scientific ignorance, it was easy to convince the public that proteins and eventually, cells
could form spontaneously from muddy water that mammals hunting in water eventually devel-
oped fins and turned into dolphins and that monkeys decided to stop leaping from tree to tree and
instead to walk upright, and thus evolved into
human beings.
The sciences of genetics and paleontology were
unknown, so all these imaginary transitions were
depicted as incontrovertible fact. But now
Darwinists are in a far more difficult position.
The science of genetics has revealed the complex
structure of the cell and how traits are passed on
from generation to generation. Paleontology has
shown that living things have never changed.
Countless specimens, such as the 58-million-year-
old wild boar skull shown here indicate that liv-
ing things exhibited the same complexity mil-
lions of years ago as present-day specimens. It is
no longer possible for Darwinists to deceive the
public.

Allah has created all living things with their
different appearances and forms. In the same
way that their lifestyles and needs differ, so
there are profound differences in their body
structures. This means it is not difficult to de-
scribe the fossils that are unearthed, making it
possible to establish the anatomical features of
a living thing whose fossil remains have been
discovered. The 45-million-year-old zebra fos-
sil illustrated makes this distinction. It’s evi-
dent that there is no difference between the
fossil’s characteristics and those of a present-
day zebra’s skull.
There is no doubt that this is one of Allah’s di-
vine miracles. The scientific evidence to hand
is too definitive for scientists to be able to de-
ny, even if they are evolutionists. It’s a scientif-
ic fact that species have not changed, and they
have undergone no evolutionary process.

On the basis of some elements of ape behavior,
Darwinists maintain that monkeys and human
beings are both descended from a common an-
cestor. They claim that monkeys one day de-
cided to descend from the trees, to walk up-
right, to speak, sing, and compose music, to
construct buildings and to make scientific dis-
coveries, and thus turned into human beings.
In that case, similar processes of transition
must also apply to other living things. Since
cheetahs, for example, are able to run very fast,
they should one day be able to alter their phys-
ical structures and turn into sentient beings
winning gold medals at the Olympic Games.
However, a look at the scientific facts reveals
that cheetahs, tigers, wolves, fox, lions and
leopards—in short, all animals—never
changed at all.
The same stability or stasis also applies to apes
and human beings. Apes have always existed
as apes, and human beings as human beings.

For a long time, a great many people took at
face value the statements made by academ-
ics and scientists who espoused Darwinism.
They imagined that since these experts be-
lieved in evolution, there must be something
to it, and blindly believed in evolution them-
selves. At the root of this error lay their igno-
rance of the fact that Darwinism was sup-
ported solely for ideological reasons. They
did not know that scientists who espoused
Darwinism also held such nonsensical ideas
as fish left the water and began using legs thatformed by chance to walk on land, or chimpan-
zees that began using stones to crack open
nuts developed into humans who founded
civilizations, launched rockets and studied
themselves in laboratories.
However, the true facts are now out in the
open. People now know that the fossil record
contains specimens of present-day life forms
that were in existence millions of years ago.
One of these is the 85-million-year-old lion
skull pictured. This fossil proves that, like all
other living things, lions never underwent
evolution at all.

The record jumps, and all the evidence shows that the record is real: The gaps we see reflect realevents in life’s history, not the artifact of a poor fossil record.18
Darwinist confessions of this kind show that no
matter how much they may try to cover up the fact,
they are actually aware of the reality demonstrated
by the fossil record. The fossil record is full of gaps
and has produced not the slightest trace of the inter-
mediate forms hypothesized by Darwinism. Instead,
it is full of “living fossils” that show that contempo-
rary life forms with their complex structures have
never altered at all. This 55-million-year-old brown
hyena skull shows that hyenas have remained un-
changed for millions of years, and that the species
has never evolved. No matter how much Darwinists
may search, they will never be able to find a single
intermediate form to show that living things ever
did evolve.

Many more species have remained unchanged over
the course of tens of millions of years that could ev-
er be contained in the pages of a single book. If evo-
lution were a valid theory, then there should be bil-
lions of intermediate forms to show that countless
species did, in fact, change. Instead of fully-devel-
oped life forms, we should be able to see the re-
mains of developing entities that only recently at-
tained their present-day forms. But Darwinists have
been unable to point to a single transitional form.
On the other hand, millions of fossils in books and
on display in exhibitions show that living things
have existed unchanged for millions of years.
In contrast to Darwinists’ lack of evidence, the
proofs of the fact of Creation are increasing with ev-
ery passing day. One example of this is the 66-mil-
lion-year-old antelope skull illustrated here.

Studies of the anatomical details of another antelope
skull dating back 63 million years have revealed it to
be identical to those of specimens alive today. The fact
that this mammal has remained the same for 63 million
years, and the lack of any evidence that it ever
changed, certainly show the complete invalidity of the
theory of evolution.
It is not hard to appreciate the conclusion that this evi-
dence all leads to. Living things are all sublime works
of art, created at Allah’s command. He has no need of
natural causes or means to bring them into being from
nothing (Surely Allah is beyond that). His command is
sufficient to bring a life form into existence. A person
can see this just by looking at the sublime Creation in
his or her own body. To regard this as the result of
chance is evidence of a complete logical collapse.Does not man see that We created him from a
drop, yet there he is, an open antagonist! He
makes likenesses of Us and forgets his own
Creation, saying, “Who will give life to bones
when they are decayed?” Say “He Who made
them in the first place will bring them back to
life. He has total knowledge of each created
thing.” (Surah Ya Sin, 77-79)

The Atlas of Creation series

evidence that can only add to
Darwinists’ panic, showing them
that evolution is dead and that they can
no longer deceive the world. This 74-million-

cal to the skulls of polar bears alive today—suf-
ficient on its own to undermine Darwinists’ ar-
guments.
As the evidence increases declaring that
Darwinism is invalid, the more Darwinists seek
to give the impression that “We are alive and
well.” They try to use propaganda techniques
to fight an intellectual struggle that they were
unable to wage with science. They attempt to
cover up studies that demolish Darwinism. But
this behavior does not prevent them from see-

Wild dogs are just one of the millions of

jackals and tigers were also living 50 mil-

present-day life forms with their present-

odd, semi-developed life forms. The fossil

Any objective evaluation of the scientific proof

When he first proposed it,
Darwin’s thesis that hu-
mans and apes are de-
scended from some com-
mon ancestor was not sup-
ported by any scientific
evidence, and that has re-
mained the case ever since.
All efforts made in the in-
tervening 150 years to sup-
port the myth of human evo-
lution have been in vain. The
fossils obtained have proved that
apes have always existed as apes and
humans as humans; that apes did not
turn into human beings and that hu-
mans and apes share no common an-
cestor.
Faced with the disappointment inflict-
ed on them by the fossil record and
their lack of any supporting evidence
whatsoever, all that evolutionists had
left to do was to arrange fossil skulls
out one after the other in totally arbi-
trary ways and to engage in conjecture,
whose unrealistic nature has long been
documented. However, fossils such as
the 87-million-year-old jaguar skull
fossil in the picture totally invalidate
such speculation. In the same way that
there has been no change over tens of
years in the skulls of these mammals,
so there have been no changes in apes
or humans, either.

Darwinists constantly suggest that evolution is a proven
theory. They trace the imaginary descent from one species
to another, and adorn such scenarios with plentiful Latin
terminology. But not a single piece of scientific evidence
showing that this claim is true has ever ap-
peared in any Darwinist publication.
Indeed, it’s impossible for any such evi-
dence to be published, since no such evi-
dence exists. Their main obstacle, however,
is that Darwinists are unable to account for
the origin of life, how life first emerged,
how the first cell came into being.
Darwinists have stumbled at this very first
hurdle. The reaction they have shown to
proofs of Creation is nothing more than a
requirement of their ideology.
On its own, the 65-million-year-old lion
skull illustrated is sufficient evidence to
consign evolution to the dustbin of history.
There is no difference between this fossil
skull and those of lions living today.

The emergence of the detailed remains of a creature that is
millions of years old is a true miracle. Had Allah so willed,
its bones as well as its soft tissues could have disintegrated
under the ground, with no trace at all remaining. In that
case, Darwinists would have had some basis for their spec-
ulations, and could have used the non-existent fossil record
to advance their scenarios, even though the theory would
not have explained the fields of biology, microbiology and
genetics.
However, the facts are actually very different. The perfect-
ly preserved skeletal remains of living things are constant-
ly being unearthed. All their details can be analyzed, com-
parisons made with life forms existing today and—thanks
to the countless details obtained—these species’ similarity
to present-day counterparts can be determined. That is
why Darwinism has collapsed in the paleontological arena,
as well as in all other branches of science.

Over such a period, any species should un-

transition from one species to others by way of
random processes should be visible. In order to
achieve the perfect structure it enjoys today, the
Asian wild dog should have evolved through

TIGER SKULL
Tiger skulls dating back 90, 80
and 78 million years, as well as to
other periods, have been un-
earthed from various sites. The ti-
ger skull illustrated here is 76
million years old. All these fos-
sils, unearthed at very different
times, are identical to present-
day tigers. Not one shows any
changes, and there is no evidence
to suggest that any one ever
evolved in any way. None is any
more or less developed than any
other. This species is exactly the
same today as it was millions of
years in the past.

FOX SKULL
Foxes have not
changed at all over
the last 46 or even
53 million years. If
even older fox re-
mains are discov-
ered, these will also be seen to have undergone no
changes at all. It is therefore meaningless for
Darwinists to keep insisting on their myth of evo-
lution. The science of genetics has done away with
evolution’s supposed “mechanisms”, and microbi-
ology has demonstrated that living systems cannot
evolve. Paleontology has proved that species do
not change.
Evolutionists must now put an end to their artifi-
cial efforts to keep alive this theory, which is on the
point of collapse. All the evidence and all the scien-
ces show that living things are created.

As revealed by the paleontological findings,
red pandas have never changed. Neither
have bears. Nor tigers, nor wolves, nor fish,
reptiles, birds or insects. All the fossils dis-
covered to date show that living species have
not changed, so there is no scientific meaning
in claiming that apes changed in such a way
as to turn into human beings. If apes did
change, then red pandas should also have
one day decided to walk on two legs, to de-
velop their brains and expand their skull vol-
umes, and to develop their hands and feet
appropriately. Yet neither red pandas nor
apes have ever undergone such a process of
change. They never evolved.

WOLF SKULL
All living things—both those in existence today
and those dating back millions of years that we
encounter in the fossil record—have flawless, reg-
ular and symmetrical skulls that exhibit no sign of
any deformities. Yet evolutionists claim that any
species would have to go through a great many
imperfect stages before arriving at a flawless skull.
There should be a great many more asymmetrical
forms, for instance, before perfect symmetry is
achieved. There should have been millions of im-
perfect skulls with a jaw pointing to the right of
left, with a nose close to the right cheek, or one eye
socket above the other. Yet no such mutant life
forms appear in the fossil record. All have skulls
that are just as regular and symmetrical as their
descendants in existence today.
The 73-million-year wolf skull pictured is one of
these flawless structures, which refute all claims
regarding evolution.

Allah has created living things with very different,
complex features. Mammals, with their highly
equipped body systems, exhibit this complexity.
There exists not one single finding to indicate that
mammals’ characteristic features emerged by way
of a supposed process of evolution. On the contrary,
countless fossils demonstrate that living things have
never changed, and never underwent any evolu-
tionary process.
It is highly illogical to seek to postulate a separate
evolutionary scenario for human beings, given the
obvious stasis in all other life forms. Semi-ape crea-
tures that tried to communicate through grunts, that
were totally covered in hair and gradually turned
into human beings—these exist only in Darwinists’
imaginations. Human beings have always existed as
humans and have always lived with the intelligence
and conscience inspired in them by Allah.

Darwin invented unbelievable scenarios regard-
ing the illusory development of living things,
but found it no easy task to account for ocean-
dwelling mammals like the whale. This life
form could not be located anywhere on the im-
aginary tree of life that Darwin imagined. For
that reason, he put forward another unbelieva-
ble theory, suggesting that whales were de-
scended from bears that had used to hunt along
the sea shore. This claim—a source of embar-
rassment even for Darwin’s own supporters—
was logically bankrupt.
Present-day bears and fossils of bears dating
back millions of years have done away with this
claim of Darwin’s. The two look exactly the
same. Bears 55 million years ago had no arms
beginning to turn into fins or legs developing
into flukes. Bears have remained completely un-
changed for millions of years.

BROWN BEAR SKULL
The variety of life created by Allah is so glorious that it can be appreciated everywhere in the
world. A single species will have countless sub-species, all with their own unique attributes.
Examples of nearly all these forms, with all their features, are present in the fossil record. There are
no intermediate forms of the kind evolution suggests must have existed, no semi-developed spe-
cies that ever emerged, and there is no sign of the “common ancestor” that various species are
claimed to be descended from. Yet species and even their sub-species manifest themselves in the
most perfect states, identical to present-day life forms, in the fossil record. One such example is
this flawless fossil skull of a brown bear, which dates back 8.9 million years—proof that this life
form never changed, and never underwent evolution.

Like millions of other life forms such as tigers,
wolves, foxes, rhinoceroses, pandas, leopards, li-
ons and hyenas, bears have remained exactly the
same for tens of millions of years, since the mo-
ment of their first Creation. That refutes the
claim that living things evolve. The stasis that
applies to all living species also applies to hu-
mans. In the same way that no change ever took
place in the skulls of tens of thousands of species
over millions of years, so there has been no evo-
lutionary change in the human skull. In the
same way that fish have always existed as fish,
birds have always existed as birds and reptiles
have always existed as reptiles, so humans have
always been humans. There is no question of
any direct progression from the primitive to the
advanced, of the kind maintained by evolution-
ists, in any organ or structure of any living thing.
The 7.5-million-year-old grizzly bear skull pic-
tured here is one proof of this.

If Darwinists are to verify the tales they have been re-

wolf, for example, underwent before assuming its pres-

eyes, teeth and noses, and how their skull structures as-

do that for all other living things. Yet Darwinists can

wolves or for any other life form. All they can offer is
fictitious chronologies, hypothetical illustrations and

This is how Darwin described the dilemma
confronting his theory in his book:
. . . Why, if species have descended from otherspecies by insensibly fine gradations, do we noteverywhere see innumerable transitional forms?Why is not all nature in confusion instead of thespecies being, as we see them, well defined? . . .But, as by this theory innumerable transitionalforms must have existed, why do we not findthem embedded in countless numbers in thecrust of the earth? 24
Some 160 years later, evolutionists are still
faced by the same difficulty: While millions of
fossils have been unearthed to date, why has
not a single intermediate form ever been
found? For anyone who can think unfettered
by preconceptions the answer is obvious: be-
cause no intermediate forms have ever existed.
Species did not come into being by evolving
from one another. Almighty Allah creates all

In the middle of the 20th century, the
unearthing of fossils that were com-

panic in the adherents of the theory of

this stability in fossils and, in the face
of this unexpected development re-

up with the “punctuated evolution”
theory to make these new fossils fit in
with their earlier main thesis.
They imagined that this claim, devoid
of any scientific evidence and in fact a
totally ludicrous ideas, would be their

the fossil record would then inflict an
even greater disappointment: In the
early 1970s, when punctuated evolu-

only a few specimens of “living fos-

Darwinists allow 20 million years for the imagi-
nary process of human evolution to have taken
place. That is the period of time that human be-
ings are estimated to have taken to develop from
chimpanzees into their present form—the period
of time best suited to the theory of evolution.
Accordingly, there should be countless interme-
diate forms demonstrating that 20-million-year
transition from chimpanzee to human. Yet out of
all the transitional forms that should once have
existed, there is not even one. Instead, we have
fossils of terrestrial life forms with perfect struc-
tures that lived for much longer periods of time.
This 60-million-year-old turtle skull proves that
these animals have remained unchanged for 60
million years, which represents powerful evi-

human evolution, for which there is no scientific
proof whatsoever.
That being so, all Darwinist incitement is mean-
ingless. Life forms have never changed, and the
evolutionary history the public are indoctrinated
with never happened. Allah created all living
things, human beings included, from nothing.
If, as Darwinists maintain, bears descended from
other life forms by way of small, gradual chan-
ges, then 90 millions years ago there should have
been odd-looking mammals indicating such a
change. There should have been peculiar entities
with as yet undeveloped eye sockets, lacking ears
or whose claws had only begun to form—entities
reminiscent of bears, but which had not yet
turned into them. In addition, the fossil record
should contain a great many traces of these
strange beings.
However, when we look at fossil remains dating

Darwinists never reflect on living
things. They are unwilling to consider
how they have perfect structures and sub-
lime features, and how not one of them could have de-
veloped by chance from a single cell. That means they
are unable to appreciate the sublime might and om-
niscience of Allah. According to irrational and unsci-
entific Darwinist thinking, there is but one explana-
tion for all the complexity in the universe: The very
first cell supposedly emerged from a collection of
muddy water and then later gave rise to the lions, ot-
ters, rabbits, cats and humans you see around you.
However, the message with which Darwinism seeks
to indoctrinate the public is now discredited and mor-
ibund. Fish dating back hundreds of millions of years,
reptiles, birds and this 9.3-million-year-old wolf skull
all point to one single truth: The theory of evolution is
a lie.

WOLF SKULL
In order for a mammal like the arctic fox to un-
dergo evolution in the way Darwinists claim, it
must undergo comprehensive and intensive
changes. In order for these alterations to take
place, countless supposedly beneficial muta-
tions have to take place, undeveloped organs
must be eliminated, new ones must develop,
and all of a living thing’s limbs must change
and diversify in such a way as to give rise to
new shapes. Moreover, traces of these changes
should be visible in the Earth’s strata, and the
fossil record should contain evidence of rep-
tiles’ limbs turning into fox legs in the course of
time. But there is not a single example of these
imaginary transitions in the fossil record.
Instead, the fossil record shows that foxes iden-
tical to those seen today were also living mil-
lions of years in the past. The 8.2-million-year-
old Arctic fox skull pictured is confirmation of
this. Darwinists have no rational claim they can
make in the face of this important evidence.

The scenarios that evolutionists have

develop—are scientifically invalid. Not a

Considered in terms of Darwinist claims, in or-

evolve, it would require countless transitional
stages. In order for these fictitious transitional
stages to occur, millions of years and countless
changes would be required. But the
surprising thing for evolutionists is
that the fossil record reveals only pan-
das exactly the same as those alive to-
day. The proofs that show how pres-
ent-day pandas were living 88 million
years ago and the absence of a single
one of the countless intermediate
forms that should have once existed—
according to Darwinists—are some of
the lethal blows that have been dealt to
the theory of evolution. It is a simple
matter for Allah, Who has created all
living things from nothing, to create
such a life form today, as well as 88
million years ago. Yet Darwinists are
unable to accept this.

80 million years is a significant length of time for
evolutionists. Darwinists have constructed
countless imaginary evolutionary scenarios for
periods as long as 80 million years. They imagine
they have identified the supposed ancestors of
the tiger and invent fantasies regarding how
these may have changed and how the tiger came
into possession of its characteristics on a gradual
basis. Thus they produce a totally fictitious,
chance-based evolutionary scenario for the tiger,
one devoid of any scientific evidence. Because in
the eyes of Darwinism, time creates, develops
and alters.
However, the fossil record contains no odd-look-
ing entities in the process of developing, but
rather tigers that appear just like those in the
present day. This fossilized tiger skull 80 million
years old, clearly reveals all its details and refutes
Darwinism with definitive scientific evidence.

the fossil specimens one uncovers, and all show that evolution never happened. Not a single instance of
the intermediate fossils that evolutionists for decades expected would eventually turn up has ever been

Darwinists should offer rational and scientific explanation for this. And if they have no explanations to

Darwinists claim that living things are de-

Portions of the visual and written media
are pro-Darwinist. For that reason, almost
no examples of “living fossils” appear in
the press reports concerning human evolu-
tion. One hardly ever encounters a report
describing how living things have never
changed. One never finds information that
creatures living millions of years ago had
the same complex features that their coun-
terparts possess today. Indeed, constant
propaganda suggests the exact opposite.
For years now, Darwinists have been using
the same tactics to mislead people.
However, that deception has finally come
to an end. The fossil record reveals a wide-
spread stasis, and most people are finally
aware of this. This 90-million-year-old hye-
na skull is just one instance of these life
forms that have never changed. An exami-
nation of at the fossil immediately reveals
that it is identical to the skull of present-day
hyenas. This is a great miracle of Allah.

HYENA SKULL
BINTURONG SKULL
Darwin imagined that living things
changed slowly. In his view, all living
things, humans included, were descended
from other species and thus arrived at their
modern-day appearances. Given that 19th-
century science provided no evidence to
support his hypothesis, Darwin believed
that the intermediate-form fossils that
should exist would be found at a later date.
Darwin’s closest followers inherited this
legacy of belief. Ever since that time, they
have ceaselessly looked for the intermedi-
ate forms that Darwin believed would
eventually be forthcoming. However, it did
not take long to realize that Darwin had
been mistaken. The unaltered life forms in
the fossil record definitively refuted
Darwinism. One blow to this superstitious
belief, sought to be kept alive solely as an
ideology, is the 88-million-year binturong

beings never evolved either, but were created.
They have always existed as human beings since

Allah has the power to create from nothing. Failing to com-

that Allah creates a living thing whenever He so desires,
simply by commanding it to Be! This lack of belief and lack
of awareness of the true facts underlie the illogical scenar-
ios and false proofs they come up with. Yet people
who are not influenced by the Darwinist spell have
no difficulty in grasping the magnificent Creation in
the world. Clearly, living things have been created
and equipped with perfect systems. They have been
the same down through their generations, since the
moment they were first created.
The 78-million-year-old fisher marten skull illus-

Darwinists have to explain why an 80-million-year

have to explain why an 83-million-year-old ante-
lope, a 90-million-year-old hyena and a 70-million-
year-old zebra have remained exactly the same.
Darwinists must also account for how the 86-mil-
lion-year-old Tibetan sand fox illustrated and mil-
lions of other specimens are absolutely no different
from members of the same species alive today. If
Darwinists are unable to provide a scientific expla-
nation for a single one of these—as they are indeed
unable to—then they must accept and declare that
evolution is a false theory. So long as they fail to do
so, they will be speaking in the name of ideological
obsessions, but not of science.
In the face of the countless “living fossils” that
have been found, evolutionist conjecture is ut-

many articles containing unscientific myths in
scientific journals as they wish, and portray as
many hoax fossils and illustrations as actually
depicting the truth as they wish, but a single
fossil belonging to life forms in existence today
is still enough to obliterate this unscientific the-

Darwinists try to distract people, to prevent them

them with conjecture. They try to convince people
that transitional life forms once existed, by constant-

that fossils represent concrete scientific evidence.

D arwinism is a dogmatic belief, a supersti-tious faith. This is the reason why evidenceopposed to the theory of evolution is con-
stantly being brought up through countless proofs,Atlas of Creation series, fossil exhibitions and detaileddescriptions of individual fossils are provided to showthat life forms never changed: to be a means wherebysome people who have lost the ability to think objec-tively under the spell of a superstitious religion cansee the truth.
For the last 150 years or so, the theory of evolution has
been kept alive through speculation and propaganda.
People are constantly subjected to subconscious in-
doctrination. Although evolution is based on no scien-
tific evidence at all, it is still taught in schools, exhibit-
ed in museums with imaginative reconstructions and
is the subject of frequent reports in the press. The true
source of this effective indoctrination is not science,
but rather a false belief system. The religion of
Darwinism has convinced people of an untruth and
has depicted a lie as true science.

Speculation, slogans incompatible with the truth, and imaginary reconstructions
are Darwinism’s main propaganda tools. By these means, the public is con-

however, evolution cannot explain how even the first living cell came into being.
Evolutionists have no answer as to why there is not a single intermediate form fos-
sil to support the theory—or why, if evolution really took place, living things re-
mained unchanged for tens of millions of years, or how and when unconscious at-
oms originally decided to see, hear, touch feel and think. The claims of the theory
of evolution are illogical; even a primary-school student would find them ridiculous.

But a falsehood without supporters cannot sur-

adherents, one by one. People who learn the true
nature of Darwinism can clearly see the illogical-
ity of defending it and therefore, reject the theo-
ry. Evolutionary scientists who see the emer-
gence of countless unchanged living fossils real-
ize that they have dedicated their lives to a lie,
and suffer due regret.
All who remain are a few admirers of Darwin,
and all they can do is to recite the same old sce-
narios. Willingly or not, they too have recog-
nized the defeat of Darwinism. They are unable
to find anyone to address their conferences and
suffer the shame of that fact whenever
Darwinism is defended.
That shame can only grow, because fossils con-
stantly produce enough evidence to demolish
Darwinism, showing that living things never
evolved, and were created exactly as they are to-
day. The truth revealed by fossils cannot be con-
cealed or ignored. The religion that is
Darwinism has come to an end.

W ith the arrival of Adnan Oktar’s Atlas of Creation, Europe’s materialists and Darwinistswere seized by serious panic. Many stated that Atlas of Creation, which was unlike
any anti-evolution work they had ever seen before, represented more of a threat to theirideas than all the other books opposing Darwinism that had appeared so far. They even at-tempted to have the book banned.The Atlas of Creation revealed with full supporting evidence that there was no scientific ba-sis to the theory of evolution. It elicited a huge reaction in a large number of countries, suchas Holland, Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and Denmark. The im-pact of Atlas of Creation was made clear in countless press reports, articles by commenta-tors, television programs and websites.With Atlas of Creation, a genuine awakening has begun. The European public, long subject-ed to Darwinist and materialist indoctrination, have begun to see that the theory of evolutionis of no scientific worth, being kept alive solely for ideological reasons. Surveys in differentcountries have revealed a significant fall in the numbers of people who believe in Darwinism. For instance, one poll conducted by the French journal Science Actualités revealed that 92%of people did not believe that human beings came into existence by way of evolution, whilea mere 5% believed in evolution. In another survey by the famous German dailySüddedeutsche Zeitung, the level of people believing that Man is the work of a Creator was85%, while only 9% believed that the theory of evolution is true. One survey which made thischange of opinion crystal-clear appeared in Blick, published in Switzerland: A full 85% of re-spondents believed in Creation, while only 8% believed in the theory of evolution.
This awakening led to serious unease among European materialist circles. Aware thatthe supposed scientific basis for their ideology was collapsing, they began what
they thought was a series of precautionary measures. One of these was the“Dangers of Creationism in Education” report prepared by the Council of
the European Parliament Culture, Science and Education Committee.The report consisting of 104 articles, requested that the 47 membercountries take action against Creationist thinking and claimed that
Europe was facing a major threat. “We are witnessing a growth ofmodes of thought which, the better to impose religious dogma,
[Surely religion is beyond this] are attacking thevery core of the knowledge that we have

patiently built up on nature, evolution, our origins and our place in the universe.” This extractfrom the report set out the real reason for this concern: that Darwinism is being kept alive be-cause of the supposed scientific support it gives to materialism. The collapse of Darwinismmeans materialism and atheism are deprived of one of their most important props. Indeed, thereport stated that the teaching of Creation rocked the world view, in other words materialism,that had been “patiently built up.” Article 12 of the report referred to Adnan Oktar’s anti-Darwinist activities and to the impact of his Atlas of Creation in Europe, saying that no otherwork to date had had such a major effect. Article 57 read: The Harun Yahya offensive: In early 2007, the Turkish creationist Harun Yahya sent his workentitled The Atlas of Creation to a very large number of French schools and resource centers .. . He [Hervé LeGuyader] considers the book to be “Much more dangerous than the previouscreationist initiatives, which were often of Anglo-Saxon origin.” He believes that . . . the meth-od employed by the author could “PROVE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE in the case of an uninformedpublic . . . .”The report ended with the words, “If we are not careful, the values that are the very essence ofthe Council of Europe will be in danger of being di-rectly threatened by the Creationist fundamentalists.It is part of the role of the Council’s parliamentariansto react before it is too late.” The report’s main aimwas to ban the teaching of the fact of Creation. Thisdemand—a violation of democracy, fundamental hu-man rights and intellectual freedom—shed light on animportant truth: European materialists are in a stateof complete panic. Circles keen to maintain the mate-rialist domination of science are unable to defendDarwinism in intellectual terms. In fact, however, prohibiting ideas does no good:Ideas must be opposed by other ideas. In any climatein which ideas of all kinds can be freely expressed,reason, good conscience and common sense willprevail. And the reality to which reason, good con-science and common senseall point is Creation.

As people have certainly been influenced by me, I want to try and correct theenormous damage I may have done. —Anthony Flew
Anthony Flew, one of the best-known atheist philosophers of his day, admitted that the athe-ism he had espoused for the previous 66 years was a philosophy that had collapsed in theface of the complex structure in DNA. The 81-year-old British professor became an atheistat the age of 15 and first made his name in the academic field with an article published in1950. Over the next 54 years, he espoused atheism at the universities of Oxford, Aberdeen,Keele and Reading, where he taught, at a large number of U.S. and Canadian universitieshe visited, and in debates, books, lectures and articles.
Not long ago, however, Flew renounced his error and admitted that the universe was creat-ed. In a report carried by The Sunday Times, he said: “I have been persuaded that it is sim-ply out of the question that the first living matter evolved out of dead matter and then devel-oped into an extraordinarily complicated creature.” (Stuart Wavell, Will Iredale, “Sorry, says athe-
istinchief, I do believe in God after all,” The Sunday Times, 12 December 2004; http://www.timeson-
line.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1400368,00.html)
A single consciousness, a universal wisdom, pervades the universe. The discoveries of sci-ence, those that search the quantum nature of subatomic matter, have moved us to the brinkof a startling realization: all existence is the expression of this wisdom. In the laboratorieswe experience it as information that first physically articulated as energy and then con-densed into the form of matter. Every particle, every being, from atom to human, appears torepresent a level of information, of wisdom. (Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God, New
York: Touchstone, 2001, p. XI.)
Anthony Flew’s abandonment of athe-ism elicited a wide reaction in the do-mestic and international press. Newsorganizations such as the Times, TheNew York Times and MSNBC de-scribed the development as “LeadingAtheist Admits: I now Believe inGod,” “An Aatheist’s U-turn” and“Leading Atheist Concludes: Goddoes Exist.”

Darwinists have been silenced, with nowhere to
turn. Utterly discredited, they are constantly losing
supporters and are unable to find new ones. The
death throes serve no purpose, and they have no
means of salvation. Darwinism is dead, and even
Darwinists can see this. Darwinist propaganda
techniques no longer serve any purpose.
With full supporting evidence, science has shown
that Allah creates living things from nothing. The
complex structures of living things, new details of
which are emerging all the time—plus the fossil ev-
idence that these structures were present millions
of years ago—has killed Darwinism, revealing
Allah’s glory of Creation and infinite might.
Almighty Allah is the one Creator, the Lord of all
living things and of all on Earth and in the heavens.
Allah, the Lord of the worlds, is sublime and
mighty.
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)

(Surat al-Baqara, 32)
Darwinism, in other words the theory of
evolution, was put forward with the
aim of denying the fact of creation, but
is in truth nothing but failed, unscientific nonsense.
This theory, which claims that life emerged by
chance from inanimate matter, was invalidated by the
scientific evidence of miraculous order in the universe
and in living things. In this way, science confirmed the
fact that Allah created the universe and the living
things in it. The propaganda carried out today in
order to keep the theory of evolution alive is
based solely on the distortion of the scientific
facts, biased interpretation, and lies and false-
hoods disguised as science.
Yet this propaganda cannot conceal the
truth. The fact that the theory of evolution is the
greatest deception in the history of science has
been expressed more and more in the scientific
world over the last 20-30 years. Research carried
out after the 1980s in particular has revealed that
the claims of Darwinism are totally unfounded,
something that has been stated by a large num-
ber of scientists. In the United States in partic-
ular, many scientists from such different
fields as biology, biochemistry and paleontol-
ogy recognize the invalidity of Darwinism
and employ the fact of creation to account
for the origin of life.

The Deception ofEvolution
Charles Darwin
We have examined the collapse of the
theory of evolution and the proofs of crea-
tion in great scientific detail in many of our
works, and are still continuing to do so.
Given the enormous importance of this
subject, it will be of great benefit to sum-
marize it here.

Although this doctrine goes back as
far as ancient Greece, the theory of evolu-
tion was advanced extensively in the
nineteenth century. The most important
development that made it the top topic
of the world of science was Charles
Darwin's The Origin of Species, pub-
lished in 1859. In this book, he denied
that Allah created different living species
on Earth separately, for he claimed that all
living beings had a common ancestor and
had diversified over time through small
changes. Darwin's theory was not based on
any concrete scientific finding; as he also ac-
cepted, it was just an "assumption." Moreover, as
Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book ti-
tled "Difficulties on Theory," the theory failed in the
face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific
discoveries, which he expected to solve these difficulties.
However, contrary to his expectations, scientific findings
expanded the dimensions of these difficulties. The defeat
of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed un-
der three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms" proposed by the theory
have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general outlines:

The claims made by Darwin, who developed
his theory in the wake of a voyage to the
Galapagos Islands on board the Beagle, con-
sisted of a fantasy reflecting the primitive sci-
entific conditions of the time. Launched at a
time when the biro had not yet been invented
and when people thought the cell was a bal-
loon filled with water, the theory of evolu-
tion has been dealt any number of lethal
blows by the scientific advances of the 20th
and 21st centuries.

The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from a single living cell that
emerged on the primitive Earth 3.8 billion years ago. How a single cell could generate millions of
complex living species and, if such an evolution really occurred, why traces of it cannot be observed
in the fossil record are some of the questions that the theory cannot answer. However, first and fore-
most, we need to ask: How did this "first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution denies creation and any kind of supernatural intervention, it
maintains that the "first cell" originated coincidentally within the laws of nature, without any de-
sign, plan or arrangement. According to the theory, inanimate matter must have produced a living
cell as a result of coincidences. Such a claim, however, is inconsistent with the most unassailable
rules of biology.
""LLiiffee CCoommeess FFrroomm LLiiffee""
In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primitive understanding of science
in his time rested on the assumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval
times, spontaneous generation, which asserts that non-living materials came together to form liv-
ing organisms, had been widely accepted. It was commonly believed that insects
came into being from food leftovers, and mice from wheat. Interesting experi-
ments were conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat was placed on a
dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice would originate from it
after a while.
Similarly, maggots developing in rotting meat was assumed to be
evidence of spontaneous generation. However, it was later understood
that worms did not appear on meat spontaneously, but were carried
there by flies in the form of larvae, invisible to the naked eye.
Even when Darwin wrote The Origin of Species, the belief that bacte-
ria could come into existence from non-living matter was widely accept-
ed in the world of science.
However, five years after the publication of Darwin's book, Louis Pasteur
announced his results after long studies and experiments, that disproved sponta-
neous generation, a cornerstone of Darwin's theory. In his triumphal lecture at the Sorbonne in
1864, Pasteur said: "Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal
blow struck by this simple experiment."1
For a long time, advocates of the theory of evolution resisted these findings. However, as the
development of science unraveled the complex structure of the cell of a living being, the idea that
life could come into being coincidentally faced an even greater impasse.

The first evolutionist who took up the subject of the origin of life in the twentieth century was
the renowned Russian biologist Alexander Oparin. With various theses he advanced in the 1930s,
The French biologistLouis Pasteur
The Skul ls That Demol ish Darwinism

he tried to prove that a living cell could originate by coincidence. These
studies, however, were doomed to failure, and Oparin had to make the
following confession:
Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the cell is perhaps
the most obscure point in the whole study of the evolution of organ-
isms.2
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experiments to solve
this problem. The best known experiment was carried out by the American
chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the gases he alleged to have existed in the pri-
mordial Earth's atmosphere in an experiment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture,
Miller synthesized several organic molecules (amino acids) present in the structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented as an important step in
the name of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere
used in the experiment was very different from the
real Earth conditions.3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the at-
mosphere medium he used was unrealistic.4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth
century to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geo-
chemist Jeffrey Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts
this fact in an article published in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest unsolved problem
that we had when we entered the twentieth century: How did life originate on
Earth?5

The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in such a great im-
passe regarding the origin of life is that even those living organisms deemed to be
the simplest have incredibly complex structures. The cell of a living thing is more
complex than all of our man-made technological products. Today, even in the most
developed laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing
organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in quantity to
be explained away by coincidences. The probability of proteins, the building
blocks of a cell, being synthesized coincidentally, is 1 in 10950 for an average pro-
tein made up of 500 amino acids. In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over
1050 is considered to be impossible in practical terms.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell and which stores ge-

netic information, is an incredible databank. If the information cod-
ed in DNA were written down, it would make a giant library con-
sisting of an estimated 900 volumes of encyclopedias consisting
of 500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA
can replicate itself only with the help of some specialized pro-
teins (enzymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can
be realized only by the information coded in DNA. As they
both depend on each other, they have to exist at the same time
for replication. This brings the scenario that life originated by it-
self to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute
from the University of San Diego, California, confesses this fact in
the September 1994 issue of the Scientific American magazine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids,
both of which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the
same place at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have
one without the other. And so, at first glance, one might have to
conclude that life could never, in fact, have originated by chem-
ical means.6
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from
natural causes, then it has to be accepted that life was "created"
in a supernatural way. This fact explicitly invalidates the theo-
ry of evolution, whose main purpose is to deny creation.

The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is
that both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary
mechanisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evolutiona-
ry power.
Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the mech-
anism of "natural selection." The importance he placed on this
mechanism was evident in the name of his book: The Origin of
Species, By Means of Natural Selection…
Natural selection holds that those living things that are
stronger and more suited to the natural conditions of their habi-
tats will survive in the struggle for life. For example, in a deer
herd under the threat of attack by wild animals, those that can
run faster will survive. Therefore, the deer herd will be com-
prised of faster and stronger individuals. However, unques-
The Skul ls That Demol ish Darwinism
200 Harun Yahya
tionably, this
mechanism will
not cause deer to
evolve and transform
themselves into another liv-
ing species, for instance, horses.
Therefore, the mechanism of natu-
ral selection has no evolutionary power.
Darwin was also aware of this fact and had
to state this in his book The Origin of Species:
Natural selection can do nothing until favourable individ-
ual differences or variations occur.7
LLaammaarrcckk''ss IImmppaacctt
So, how could these "favorable variations" occur? Darwin tried to
answer this question from the standpoint of the primitive understand-
ing of science at that time. According to the French biologist
Chevalier de Lamarck (1744-1829), who lived before Darwin, liv-
ing creatures passed on the traits they acquired during their life-
time to the next generation. He asserted that these traits, which
accumulated from one generation to another, caused new spe-
cies to be formed. For instance, he claimed that giraffes
evolved from antelopes; as they struggled to eat the
leaves of high trees, their necks were extended from
generation to generation.
Darwin also gave similar examples. In his
book The Origin of Species, for instance, he
said that some bears going into water to
find food transformed themselves into
whales over time.8
However, the laws of inheritance
discovered by Gregor Mendel (1822-
84) and verified by the science of ge-
netics, which flourished in the twen-
tieth century, utterly demolished
the legend that acquired traits were
passed on to subsequent generations.
Thus, natural selection fell out of favor as
an evolutionary mechanism.

In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern
Synthetic Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-Darwinism, at
the end of the 1930s. Neo-Darwinism added mutations, which are distortions
formed in the genes of living beings due to such external factors as radiation or
replication errors, as the "cause of favorable variations" in addition to natural mu-
tation.
Today, the model that stands for evolution in the world is Neo-Darwinism.
The theory maintains that millions of living beings formed as a result of a
process whereby numerous complex organs of these organisms (e.g., ears,
eyes, lungs, and wings) underwent "mutations," that is, genetic disorders.
Yet, there is an outright scientific fact that totally undermines this theory:
Mutations do not cause living beings to develop; on the contrary, they
are always harmful.
The reason for this is very simple: DNA has a very complex structure,
and random effects can only harm it. The American geneticist B. G.
Ranganathan explains this as follows:
First, genuine mutations are very rare in nature. Secondly, most muta-
tions are harmful since they are random, rather than orderly changes in the
structure of genes; any random change in a highly ordered system will be for the
worse, not for the better. For example, if an earthquake were to shake a highly or-
dered structure such as a building, there would be a random change in the frame-
work of the building which, in all probability, would not be an improvement.9
The Skul ls That Demol ish Darwinism
202 Harun Yahya
All mutations observed are harmful. Mutation
cannot improve a species nor give rise to any
new species. That is because there is a highly
complex order in living things' DNA. Any ran-
dom change arising in that molecule will only
harm the organism in question. The only
changes mutations bring with them are death,
disease and deformity.
Not surprisingly, no mutation example, which is useful, that is, which is observed to develop
the genetic code, has been observed so far. All mutations have proved to be harmful. It was under-
stood that mutation, which is presented as an "evolutionary mechanism," is actually a genetic oc-
currence that harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The most common effect of mutation
on human beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mech-
anism." Natural selection, on the other hand, "can do nothing by itself," as Darwin also accepted.
This fact shows us that there is no "evolutionary mechanism" in nature. Since no evolutionary
mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evolution" could have taken place.

The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the theory of evolution did not take place
is the fossil record.
According to this theory, every living species has sprung from a predecessor. A previously ex-
isting species turned into something else over time and all species have come into being in this way.
In other words, this transformation proceeds gradually over millions of years.
Had this been the case, numerous intermediary species should have existed and lived within
this long transformation period.
For instance, some half-fish/half-reptiles should have lived in the past which had acquired
some reptilian traits in addition to the fish traits they already had. Or there should have existed
some reptile-birds, which acquired some bird traits in addition to the reptilian traits they already
had. Since these would be in a transitional phase, they should be disabled, defective, crippled liv-
ing beings. Evolutionists refer to these imaginary creatures, which they believe to have lived in the
past, as "transitional forms."
If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions and even billions of them in num-
ber and variety. More importantly, the remains of these strange creatures should be present in the
fossil record. In The Origin of Species, Darwin explained:
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking most closely all of the species
of the same group together must assuredly have existed... Consequently, evidence of their former
existence could be found only amongst fossil remains.10
The Decept ion of Evolut ion
Adnan Oktar 203
Not a single trace has been found in
the fossil record to show that one life
form ever turned into another. Just
about the entire Earth has been dug
up, but nothing has ever been found
apart from perfect life forms possessed of all their
relevant features. Fossils prove that living things have never changed
over the course of millions of years, in other words, that they never evolved.

However, although evolutionists have been making strenuous efforts to find fossils since the
middle of the nineteenth century all over the world, no transitional forms have yet been uncovered.
All of the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expectations, show that life appeared on Earth all of
a sudden and fully-formed.
One famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits this fact, even though he is an evo-
lutionist:
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether at the level of orders or of
species, we find - over and over again - not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one
group at the expense of another.11
This means that in the fossil record, all living species suddenly emerge as fully formed, with-
out any intermediate forms in between. This is just the opposite of Darwin's assumptions. Also, this
is very strong evidence that all living things are created. The only explanation of a living species
emerging suddenly and complete in every detail without any evolutionary ancestor is that it was
created. This fact is admitted also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:
Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations for the origin of living
things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they
must have developed from pre-existing species by some process of modification. If they did appear
in a fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence.12
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a perfect state on the Earth.
That means that "the origin of species," contrary to Darwin's supposition, is not evolution, but
creation.

The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of evolution is the subject of the
origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds that modern man evolved from ape-like creatures. During
this alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5 million years ago, some
"transitional forms" between modern man and his ancestors are supposed to have existed.
According to this completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
1. Australopithecus 2. Homo habilis3. Homo erectus4. Homo sapiensEvolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors Australopithecus, which means
"South African ape." These living beings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become
extinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus specimens by two world famous anat-
omists from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard,
shows that these apes belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and bore no resem-
blance to humans.13
The Skul ls That Demol ish Darwinism
206 Harun Yahya
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as "homo," that is "man."
According to their claim, the living beings in the Homo series are more developed than
Australopithecus. Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging different fos-
sils of these creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has never been
proved that there is an evolutionary relation between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of
the twentieth century's most important evolutionists, contends in his book One Long Argument
that "particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of life or of Homo sapiens, are extreme-
ly difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation."14
By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo habilis > Homo erectus > Homo
sapiens, evolutionists imply that each of these species is one another's ancestor. However, recent
findings of paleoanthropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo
erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same time.15
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus have lived up until very
modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-ex-
isted in the same region.16
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that they are ancestors of one
another. Stephen Jay Gould explained this deadlock of the theory of evolution although he was
himself one of the leading advocates of evolution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages of hominids (A. africanus,
the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover,
none of the three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth.17
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld" with the help of various
drawings of some "half ape, half human" creatures appearing in the media and course books,
that is, frankly, by means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific foundation.

Piltdown Man, the first so-
called "ape-man", was dis-
played in museums and
adorned the covers of "sci-
entific" publications for 40
years before it emerged
that it was actually a hoax.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected scientists in the U.K., who car-
ried out research on this subject for years and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally
concluded, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such family tree branch-
ing out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" ranging from those he considered
scientific to those he considered unscientific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scien-
tific"-that is, depending on concrete data-fields of science are chemistry and physics. After them
come the biological sciences and then the social sciences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is
the part considered to be most "unscientific," are "extra-sensory perception"-concepts such as telep-
athy and sixth sense-and finally "human evolution." Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields of presumed biological sci-
ence, like extrasensory perception or the interpretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful
[evolutionist] anything is possible - and where the ardent believer [in evolution] is sometimes able
to believe several contradictory things at the same time.18
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the prejudiced interpretations of some
fossils unearthed by certain people, who blindly adhere to their theory.
DDaarrwwiinniiaann FFoorrmmuullaa!!
Besides all the technical evidence we have dealt with so far, let us now for once, examine what
kind of a superstition the evolutionists have with an example so simple as to be understood even
by children:
The theory of evolution asserts that life is formed by chance. According to this claim, lifeless
and unconscious atoms came together to form the cell and then they somehow formed other living
things, including man. Let us think about that. When we bring together the elements that are the
building-blocks of life such as carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, only a heap is formed.
No matter what treatments it undergoes, this atomic heap cannot form even a single living being.
If you like, let us formulate an "experiment" on this subject and let us examine on the behalf of ev-
olutionists what they really claim without pronouncing loudly under the name "Darwinian formu-
la":
Let evolutionists put plenty of materials present in the composition of living things such as

mixtures to as much heat and moisture as they like. Let them

oped device they like. Let them put the fore-

experts wait in turn beside these barrels for billions, and even trillions of years. Let them be free to
use all kinds of conditions they believe to be necessary for a human's formation. No matter what
they do, they cannot produce from these barrels a human, say a professor that examines his cell
structure under the electron microscope. They cannot produce giraffes, lions, bees, canaries, hors-
es, dolphins, roses, orchids, lilies, carnations, bananas, oranges, apples, dates, tomatoes, melons,
watermelons, figs, olives, grapes, peaches, peafowls, pheasants, multicoloured butterflies, or mil-
lions of other living beings such as these. Indeed, they could not obtain even a single cell of any one
of them.
Briefly, unconscious atoms cannot form the cell by coming together. They cannot take a new
decision and divide this cell into two, then take other decisions and create the professors who first
invent the electron microscope and then examine their own cell structure under that microscope.
Matter is an unconscious, lifeless heap, and it comes to life with Allah's superior creation.
The theory of evolution, which claims the opposite, is a total fallacy completely contrary to rea-
son. Thinking even a little bit on the claims of evolutionists discloses this reality, just as in the
above example.

Another subject that remains unanswered by evolutionary theory is the excel-
lent quality of perception in the eye and the ear.
Before passing on to the subject of the eye, let us briefly answer the question
of how we see. Light rays coming from an object fall oppositely on the eye's ret-
ina. Here, these light rays are transmitted into electric signals by cells and reach
a tiny spot at the back of the brain, the "center of vision." These electric signals
are perceived in this center as an image after a series of processes. With this
technical background, let us do some thinking.
The brain is insulated from light. That means that its inside is com-
pletely dark, and that no light reaches the place where it is located. Thus,
the "center of vision" is never touched by light and may even be the
darkest place you have ever known. However, you observe
a luminous, bright world in this pitch darkness.

The image formed in the eye is so sharp and distinct that even the technology of the twentieth
century has not been able to attain it. For instance, look at the book you are reading, your hands
with which you are holding it, and then lift your head and look around you. Have you ever seen
such a sharp and distinct image as this one at any other place? Even the most developed television
screen produced by the greatest television producer in the world cannot provide such a sharp im-
age for you. This is a three-dimensional, colored, and extremely sharp image. For more than 100
years, thousands of engineers have been trying to achieve this sharpness. Factories, huge premises
were established, much research has been done, plans and designs have been made for this pur-
pose. Again, look at a TV screen and the book you hold in your hands. You will see that there is a
big difference in sharpness and distinction. Moreover, the TV screen shows you a two-dimensional
image, whereas with your eyes, you watch a three-dimensional perspective with depth.
For many years, tens of thousands of engineers have tried to make a three-dimensional TV and
achieve the vision quality of the eye. Yes, they have made a three-dimensional television system,
but it is not possible to watch it without putting on special 3-D glasses; moreover, it is only an arti-
ficial three-dimension. The background is more blurred, the foreground appears like a paper set-
ting. Never has it been possible to produce a sharp and distinct vision like that of the eye. In both
the camera and the television, there is a loss of image quality.
Evolutionists claim that the mechanism producing this sharp and distinct image has been
formed by chance. Now, if somebody told you that the television in your room was formed as a re-
sult of chance, that all of its atoms just happened to come together and make up this device that
produces an image, what would you think? How can atoms do what thousands of people cannot?
If a device producing a more primitive image than the eye could not have been formed by
chance, then it is very evident that the eye and the image seen by the eye could not have been
formed by chance. The same situation applies to the ear. The outer ear picks up the available sounds
by the auricle and directs them to the middle ear, the middle ear transmits the sound vibrations by
Compared to cameras and soundrecording devices, the eye and earare much more complex and pos-sess far superior features to theseproducts of high technology.
The Skul ls That Demol ish Darwinism

intensifying them, and the inner ear sends these vibrations to the brain by translating them into
electric signals. Just as with the eye, the act of hearing finalizes in the center of hearing in the brain.
The situation in the eye is also true for the ear. That is, the brain is insulated from sound just
as it is from light. It does not let any sound in. Therefore, no matter how noisy is the outside, the
inside of the brain is completely silent. Nevertheless, the sharpest sounds are perceived in the brain.
In your completely silent brain, you listen to symphonies, and hear all of the noises in a crowded
place. However, were the sound level in your brain measured by a precise device at that moment,
complete silence would be found to be prevailing there.
As is the case with imagery, decades of effort have been spent in trying to generate and repro-
duce sound that is faithful to the original. The results of these efforts are sound recorders, high-fi-
delity systems, and systems for sensing sound. Despite all of this technology and the thousands of
engineers and experts who have been working on this endeavor, no sound has yet been obtained
that has the same sharpness and clarity as the sound perceived by the ear. Think of the highest-qual-
ity hi-fi systems produced by the largest company in the music industry. Even in these devices,
when sound is recorded some of it is lost; or when you turn on a hi-fi you always hear a hissing
sound before the music starts. However, the sounds that are the products of the human body's tech-
nology are extremely sharp and clear. A human ear never perceives a sound accompanied by a hiss-
ing sound or with atmospherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it perceives sound exactly as it is, sharp and
clear. This is the way it has been since the creation of man.
So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has been as sensitive and successful in per-
ceiving sensory data as are the eye and the ear. However, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned,
a far greater truth lies beyond all this.

The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose travel to the brain as electro-

tails about how this image forms in the brain. However, you will never come across the most im-
portant fact: Who perceives these electro-chemical nerve impulses as images, sounds, odors, and
sensory events in the brain? There is a consciousness in the brain that perceives all this without feel-
ing any need for an eye, an ear, and a nose. To whom does this consciousness belong? Of course it
does not belong to the nerves, the fat layer, and neurons comprising the brain. This is why
The Skul ls That Demol ish Darwinism

The inside ofthe brain ispitch-black. Nolight can enterthe brain.
The brain admits no light nor sound. Therefore, no
matter how loud a sound may be, the inside of the
brain is still silent. Yet there is a consciousness in
that silence that interprets electrical signals as love-
ly music, a friend's voice or the ringing of a tele-
phone. This consciousness is the soul.
All the components of our lives, people, buildings,cities and cars, in short, everything we see, touch,hold, smell, taste or listen to are actually images andsensations arising in the brain. But who gives rise tothese images? Can it be the brain that forms bright, lu-minous images with depth, a whole world in fact, outof electrical signals in such a restricted space? The brain is just a damp, soft, knobbly piece of tissue. Can such a pieceof tissue create a perfectly clear image, in the most vivid colors, with no spots or poor focus, an image far superior tothat provided by the most high-tech televisions? Or can it produce a far better quality, clearer and sharper sound thanthe most advanced music set? It is, of course, impossible for a piece of tissue such as the brain, weighing just 1.5 kilos,to create such immaculate perceptions.It is thanks to the creation of Almighty Allah, our Lord, that we see electrical signals as a vivid, brightly colored worldof millions of hues and tones, and that our souls delight in these perceptions.
Darwinist-materialists, who believe that everything is comprised of matter, cannot answer these
questions.
For this consciousness is the spirit created by Allah, which needs neither the eye to watch the
images nor the ear to hear the sounds. Furthermore, it does not need the brain to think.
Everyone who reads this explicit and scientific fact should ponder on Almighty Allah, and
fear and seek refuge in Him, for He squeezes the entire universe in a pitch-dark place of a few cu-
bic centimeters in a three-dimensional, colored, shadowy, and luminous form.

The information we have presented so far shows us that the theory of evolution is incompat-
ible with scientific findings. The theory's claim regarding the origin of life is inconsistent with sci-
ence, the evolutionary mechanisms it proposes have no evolutionary power, and fossils demon-
strate that the required intermediate forms have never existed. So, it certainly follows that the the-
ory of evolution should be pushed aside as an unscientific idea. This is how many ideas, such as
the Earth-centered universe model, have been taken out of the agenda of science throughout his-
tory.
However, the theory of evolution is kept on the agenda of science. Some people even try to
represent criticisms directed against it as an "attack on science." Why?
The reason is that this theory is an indispensable dogmatic belief for some circles. These cir-
cles are blindly devoted to materialist philosophy and adopt Darwinism because it is the only ma-
terialist explanation that can be put forward to explain the workings of nature.
Interestingly enough, they also confess this fact from time to time. A well-known geneticist
and an outspoken evolutionist, Richard C. Lewontin from Harvard University, confesses that he is
"first and foremost a materialist and then a scientist":
It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us accept a material expla-
nation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence
to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce ma-
terial explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated.
Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so we cannot allow a Divine [intervention]...19
These are explicit statements that Darwinism is a dogma kept alive just for the sake of adher-
ence 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 living species
(e.g., birds, fish, giraffes, tigers, insects, trees, flowers, whales, and human beings) originated as a
result of the interactions between 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 intervention."
Anyone who does not look at the origin of living beings with a materialist 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.

Anyone free of prejudice and the influence of any particular ideology, who uses only his or her
reason and logic, will clearly understand that belief in the theory of evolution, which brings to mind
the superstitions of societies with no knowledge of science or civilization, is quite impossible.
As explained above, those who believe in the theory of evolution think that a few atoms and
molecules thrown into a huge vat could produce thinking, reasoning professors and university stu-
dents; such scientists as Einstein and Galileo; such artists as Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra and
Luciano Pavarotti; as well as antelopes, lemon trees, and carnations. Moreover, as the scientists and
professors who believe in this nonsense are educated people, it is quite justifiable to speak of this
theory as "the most potent spell in history." Never before has any other belief or idea so taken away
peoples' powers of reason, refused to allow them to think intelligently and logically, and hidden the
truth from them as if they had been blindfolded. This is an even worse and unbelievable blindness
than the totem worship in some parts of Africa, the people of Saba worshipping the Sun, the tribe
of Prophet Ibrahim (as) worshipping idols they had made with their own hands, or the people of
Prophet Musa (as) worshipping the Golden Calf.
In fact, Allah has pointed to this lack of reason in the Qur'an. In many verses, He reveals that
some peoples' minds will be closed and that they will be powerless to see the truth. Some of these
verses are as follows:
As for those who do not believe, it makes no difference to them whether you warn them or do
not warn them, they will not believe. Allah has sealed up their hearts and hearing and over their
eyes is a blindfold. They will have a terrible punishment. (Surat al-Baqara, 6-7)
… They have hearts with which they do not understand. They have eyes with which they do not
see. They have ears with which they do not hear. Such people are like cattle. No, they are even
further astray! They are the unaware. (Surat al-A'raf, 179)
Even if We opened up to them a door into heaven, and they spent the day ascending through it,
they would only say: "Our eyesight is befuddled! Or rather we have been put under a spell!"
(Surat al-Hijr, 14-15)

Words cannot express just how astonishing it is that this spell should hold such a wide com-
munity in thrall, keep people from the truth, and not be broken for 150 years. It is understandable
that one or a few people might believe in impossible scenarios and claims full of stupidity and il-
logicality. However, "magic" is the only possible explanation for people from all over the world be-
lieving that unconscious and lifeless atoms suddenly decided to come together and form a universe
that functions with a flawless system of organization, discipline, reason, and consciousness; a plan-
et named Earth with all of its features so perfectly suited to life; and living things full of countless
complex systems.
In fact, the Qur'an relates the incident of Prophet Musa (as) and Pharaoh to show that some
people who support atheistic philosophies actually influence others by magic. When Pharaoh was
told about the true religion, he told Prophet Musa (as) to meet with his own magicians. When Musa
(as) did so, he told them to demonstrate their abilities first. The verses continue:
He said: "You throw." And when they threw, they cast a spell on the people's eyes and caused
them to feel great fear of them. They produced an extremely powerful magic. (Surat al-A'raf, 116)
As we have seen, Pharaoh's magicians were able to deceive everyone, apart from Musa (as)
and those who believed in him. However, his evidence broke the spell, or "swallowed up what they
had forged," as the verse puts it:
We revealed to Musa: "Throw down your staff." And it immediately swallowed up what they
had forged. So the Truth took place and what they did was shown to be false. (Surat al-A'raf, 117-
8)
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 ridiculous 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 Muggeridge, who was an atheist defending evolution for some 60
years, but who subsequently realized the truth, reveals the position in which the theory of evolu-
tion 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 incredible credulity that it has.20
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 evolution as the worst deceit and the most terrible spell in the world.
That spell is already rapidly beginning to be lifted from the shoulders 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.

From the moment a person is born, he becomes subject to the steady indoc-
trination of the society. Part of this indoctrination, possibly the most persua-
sive, holds that reality is what the hands can touch and the eyes can see. This un-
derstanding, which is quite influential in the majority of the society, is carried without question
from one generation to another.
But without being subjected to any indoctrination, a moment of objective thought would make
one realize an astonishing fact:
Everything we confront from the moment we come into existence-human beings, animals,
flowers, their colors, odors, fruits, tastes of fruits, planets, stars, mountains, stones, buildings,
space-are perceptions presented to us by our five senses. To further clarify this, it will help to exam-
ine the senses, the agents that provide us with information about the exterior world.
All of man's sensory faculties-sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch-function in the same way.
Stimuli (lights, sounds, smells, tastes, textures) from objects in the external world are carried
through nerves to the sensory centers in the brain. All these stimuli that reach the brain consist of
electric signals. For example, during the process of vision, light rays (or photons) radiating from
sources in the exterior world reach the retina at the back of the eye and, through a series of process-
es, are transformed into electric signals. These signals are transferred along nerves to the brain's vi-
sion center. There, a colorful, bright and three-dimensional world is perceived with-
in the space of a few cubic centimeters.
The same system applies to other senses as well. Cells on the surface of the
tongue transform chemical traces into electric signals that become tastes.
Odors are transformed into electric signals by cells in the epithelium of the
nose. Special sensors lodged beneath the skin transform impulses of
touch (such as the sensations of hardness or softness) into electric sig-
nals, and a special mechanism in the ear does the same with sound. All
these signals are sent to appropriate centers in the brain, where they are
perceived.
WHO SEES?
Who Sees?
Adnan Oktar 217
To clarify the point, assume that you're drinking a glass of lemonade. The hard, cool surface
of the glass you're holding is transformed into electric signals by special receptors under your skin
and sent to the brain. Simultaneously, the smell of the lemonade, its taste, and yellowish color all
become signals that reach the brain. Likewise, the clink you hear when the glass touches the table
is perceived by the ear and transmitted to the brain as an electric signal. All these perceptions are
interpreted in the brain's relevant centers, which work harmoniously with one another. As a cumu-
lative result of these impulses, you sense that you are drinking a glass of lemonade.
Concerning this important fact, consider the thoughts of B. Russell and L. J. J. Wittgenstein,
two famous philosophers:
For instance, whether a lemon truly exists or not and how it came to exist cannot be questioned and
investigated. A lemon consists merely of a taste sensed by the
tongue, an odor sensed by the nose, a color and shape sensed by
the eye; and only these features of it can be subject to examina-
tion and assessment. Science can never know the physical
world.21
In other words, it is impossible for us to reach the physical
world. All objects we're in contact with are actually collection of
perceptions such as sight, hearing, and touch. Throughout
our lives, while processing the data in the sensory centers,
we confront not the "originals" of the matter existing out-
side us, but rather copies inside our brain. At this point,
we are misled to assume that these copies are instan-
ces of real matter outside us.
This obvious fact has been proven by science to-
day. Any scientist would tell you how this system
works, and that the world we live in is really an aggregate
of perceptions formed in our brains. The English physicist John Gribbin states that our sens-
es are an interpretation of stimulations coming from the external world-as if there were a
tree in the garden. He goes on to say that our brain perceives the stimulations that are
filtered through our senses, and that the tree is only a stimulation. So, he then asks,
which tree is real? The one formed by our senses, or the tree in the garden?22
No doubt, this reality requires profound reflection. As a result of
these physical facts, we come to the following indisputable conclu-
sion: Everything we see, touch, hear, and call "matter," "the world"
or "the universe" is nothing more than electrical signals interpret-
ed in our brain. We can never reach the original of the matter out-
side our brain. We merely taste, hear and see an image of the ex-
ternal world formed in our brain.
In fact, someone eating an apple confronts not the actual fruit,
but its perceptions in the brain. What that person considers to be an ap-
ple actually consists of his brain's perception of the electrical information concerning the
fruit's shape, taste, smell, and texture. If the optic nerve to the brain were suddenly severed, the
image of the fruit would instantly disappear. Any disconnection in the olfactory nerve traveling from
receptors in the nose to the brain would interrupt the sense of smell completely. Simply put, that ap-
ple is nothing but the interpretation of electrical signals by the brain.
Also consider the sense of distance. The empty space between you and this page is only a sense
of emptiness formed in your brain. Objects that appear distant in your view also exist in the brain.
For instance, someone watching the stars at night assumes that they are millions of light-years away,
yet the stars are within himself, in his vision center. While you read these lines, actually you are not
inside the room you assume you're in; on the contrary, the room is inside you. Perceiving your body
makes you think that you're inside it. However, your body, too, is a set of images formed inside your
brain.

Considering this subject in greater detail reveals some even more extraordinary truths. Our sense
centers are located in the brain, a three-pound piece of tissue. And this organ is protected inside an
array of bones called the skull, which neither light, nor sound, nor odors can penetrate. The inside of
the skull is a dark, silent place where all smells are absent.
But in this place of complete darkness occur millions of color shades and sound tones, as well
countless different tastes and smells.
So how does this happen?
What makes you perceive light in a location without light, odors in a place without smell, sounds
in total silence and the objects of all other senses? Who created all of this for you?
In every moment of your life, a variety of miracles take place. As mentioned earlier, anything
your senses can detect in this room you're in, are sent as electrical signals to your brain, where they
then combine. Your brain interprets them as a view of a room. Put another way, while you assume
The Skul ls That Demol ish Darwinism
218 Harun Yahya
that you are sitting in this room, that room is actually inside you, in your brain. The "place" where the
room is assembled and perceived is small, dark, and soundless. And yet a whole room or a whole
landscape, regardless of its size, can fit into it. Both a narrow closet and a wide vista of the sea are per-
ceived in the exact same place.
Our brains interpret and attribute meaning to the signals relating to the "external world." As an
example, consider the sense of hearing. It's our brain that in fact interprets and transforms the sound
waves into a symphony. That is to say, music is yet another perception created by our brain. In the
same manner, when we perceive colors, what reaches our eyes is merely light of different wave-
lengths. Again, it's our brain that transforms these signals into colors. There are no colors in the "ex-
ternal world"; neither is an apple red, nor the sky blue, nor the leaves green. They appear as they do
simply because we perceive them to be so.
Even a slight defect in the eye's retina can cause color blindness. Some sufferers perceive blue and
green as the same, some red as blue. At this point, it does not matter whether or not the outside ob-
ject is colored.
The prominent thinker George Berkeley also addresses this fact:
At the beginning, it was believed that colors, odors, etc., "really exist," but subsequently such views
were renounced, and it was seen that they only exist in dependence on our sensations.23
In conclusion, the reason we see objects in colors is not because they are actually colored or have
a material existence in the outer world. The truth, rather, is that the qualities we ascribe to objects are
all inside us.
And this, perhaps, is a truth you have never considered before.

One implication of the facts described so far is that actually, man's knowledge of the external world
is exceedingly limited.
That knowledge is limited to our five senses, and there is no proof that the world we perceive by
means of those senses is identical to the "real" world.
It may, therefore, be very different from what we perceive. There may be a great many dimensions
and other beings of which we remain unaware. Even if we reach the furthermost extremities of the uni-
verse, our knowledge will always remain limited.
Almighty God, the Creator of all, has complete and flawless knowledge of all beings who, having
been created by God, can possess only the knowledge that He allows them. This fact is related in the
Qur'an thus:
God, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness or
sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except
by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they cannot grasp
any of His knowledge save what He wills. His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the Earth and
their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Qur'an, 2: 255)
WWhhoo IIss tthhee PPeerrcceeiivveerr??
In order to perceive, no external world is necessary. Given the right kind of stimulation to the brain,
sensations of touch, sight, and sounds, can be recreated in the brain. The best example of this process is
dreams.
During dreams, your body typically remains still
and motionless in a dark and quiet bedroom, and
your eyes remain shut. Neither light nor sound nor
any other stimuli from the exterior world is reaching
your brain for it to perceive. Yet in your dreams, you
still perceive experiences very similar to real life. In
your dreams you also get up and go to work, or go
on vacation and enjoy the warmth of the sun.
Furthermore, in dreams you never feel doubts
about the reality of what you experience. Only after
you wake up you realize your experiences were on-
ly dreams. You not only experience such feelings as
fear, anxiety, joy and sadness but also see different
images, hear sounds and feel matter. Yet there is no
physical source producing these sensations and per-
ceptions; you lie motionless inside a dark and quiet
room.

René Descartes, the renowned philosopher, offered the following reasoning on this surprising
truth about dreams:
In my dreams I see that I do various things, I go to many places; when I wake up, however, I see that
I have not done anything or gone anywhere and that I lie peacefully in my bed. Who can guarantee
to me that I do not also dream at the present time, further, that my whole life is not a dream?24
We are therefore looking at a manifest truth: There is no justification for our claiming that we es-
tablish direct contact with the original of the world that we claim to exist and to be living in.

If everything we know as the outside world is only perceptions produced internally, what about
the brain which we think does the seeing and hearing? Isn't it composed of atoms and molecules like
everything else? The brain, too, is a piece of tissue that we perceive through our senses. This being so,
what is it, if not the brain, that perceives everything-that sees, hears, touches, smells and tastes?
At this point, we face the obvious fact: that man, a being of consciousness who can see, feel, think
and exercise reason, is much more than a mere assemblage of atoms and molecules. What defines a
human being is the "soul" granted to him by God. Otherwise, it would be highly un-
reasonable to attribute his consciousness and other faculties to a three-pound
piece of flesh:
He Who has created all things in the best possible way. He com-
menced the creation of man from clay; then produced his seed
from an extract of base fluid; then formed him and
breathed His Spirit into him and gave you hearing, sight
and hearts. What little thanks you show! (Qur'an, 32: 7-9)

Since a human being is not merely a lump of matter but a "soul," then who makes that soul feel
the sum of perceptions which we call the external world? Who continues to create all these perceptions,
ceaselessly?
The answer is obvious. God, Who breathed into man His spirit, is the Creator of all things. He
is also the real source of all perceptions. The existence of anything is possible only through God's cre-
ation. God informs us that He creates continuously and that whenever He stops creating, everything
will disappear:
God keeps a firm hold on the heavens and the Earth, preventing them from vanishing away. And if
they vanished no one could then keep hold of them. Certainly He is Most Forbearing, Ever-
Forgiving. (Qur'an, 35: 41)
This verse is describing how the material universe is maintained under the might of God. God cre-
ated the universe, the Earth, mountains, and all living and non-living things, and maintains all these
under His power at every moment. God manifests His name al-Khaliq in this material universe. God
is al-Khaliq, in other words, the Creator of all things, the Creator from nothing. This shows that there
is a material universe, outside our brains, consisting of entities created by God. However, as a miracle
and manifestation of the superior nature of His creation and His omniscience, God shows us this ma-
terial universe in the form of an “illusion,” “shadow,” or “image.” As a consequence of the perfection
in His creation, human beings can never reach the world outside their brains. Only God knows this re-
al material universe.
Another interpretation of the above verse is that God constantly maintains the images of the ma-
terial universe that people see. (God knows best.) If God wished not to show us the image of the world
in our minds, the entire universe would disappear for us, and we could never again make contact with
it.
Faced with such facts, one must conclude that the only absolute being is God, Who encompasses
everything in the heavens and the Earth:
What! Are they in doubt about the meeting with their Lord? What! Does He not encompass all
things! (Qur'an, 41: 54)
Both East and West belong to God, so wherever you turn, the Face of God is there. God is All-
Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 2: 115)
What is in the heavens and in the Earth belongs to God. God encompasses all things. (Qur'an, 4:
126)
When We said to you, "Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His knowledge"… (Qur'an,
17: 60)
… His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the Earth and their preservation does not tire Him.
He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (Qur'an, 2: 255)
God's knowledge and ability surrounds us from the front and back, from right and left-that is to
say, He encompasses us completely. He observes us everywhere, at every moment. He holds absolute
control over us, from inside and outside. He, the Owner of infinite might, is closer to all of us than our
own jugular veins.

It is of the utmost importance to understand correctly the secret beyond matter explained in this
chapter. Mountains, plains, flowers, people, seas-briefly everything we see and everything that God in-
forms us in the Qur'an that exists and that He created out of nothing is created and does indeed exist.
However, people cannot see, feel or hear the real nature of these beings through their sense organs.
What they see and feel are only their copies that appear in their brains. This is a scientific fact taught
at all schools of medicine. The same applies to the book you are reading now; you can not see nor touch
the real nature of it. The light coming from the original book is converted by some cells in your eyes
into electrical signals, which are then conveyed to the visual center in the back of your brain. This is
where the view of this book is created. In other words, you are not reading a book which is before your
eyes through your eyes; in fact, this book is created in the visual center in the back of your brain. The
book you are reading right now is a “copy of the book” within your brain. The original book is seen by
God.
It should be remembered, however, that the fact that the matter is an illusion formed in our brains
does not “reject” the matter, but provides us information about the real nature of the matter: that no
person can have connection with its original. Moreover, the matter outside is seen not just by us, but
by other beings too. The angels God delegated to be watchers witness this world as well:
And the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and on the left. He does not utter a
single word, without a watcher by him, pen in hand! (Qur'an, 50: 17-18)
Most importantly, God sees everything. He created this world with all its details and sees it in all
its states. As He informs us in the Qur'an:
… Heed God and know that God sees what you do. (Qur'an, 2: 233)
Say: "God is a sufficient witness be-
tween me and you. He is certainly
aware of and sees His servants."
(Qur'an, 17: 96)
It must not be forgotten that
God keeps the records of every-
thing in the book called Lawh
Mahfuz (Preserved Tablet). Even if we
don't see all things, they are in the Lawh
Mahfuz. God reveals that He keeps every-
thing's record in the "Mother of the Book" called
Lawh Mahfuz with the following verses:
It is in the Source Book with Us, high-exalted, full
of wisdom. (Qur'an, 43: 4)
… We possess an all-preserving Book.
(Qur'an, 50: 4)
Certainly there is no hidden thing in ei-
ther heaven or Earth which is not in a
Clear Book. (Qur'an, 27: 75)
Who Sees?
