INTRODUCTION

3 any live lives far removed from the moral teachings eA6ounded in the 9uranF though they had been

sho8n the right 8ay& they turn their faces a8ay5 ;o8ever& such heedlessness 8ill 6revent them from attaining

that su6erior moral character called for by #llah in the 9uran& harming them both materially and s6iritually5

#nAiety& 6essimism& selfishness& belligerence& hy6ocrisy& arrogance& greed& and other such vices no8 6revailing

in modern societies& are the result of this distance from the true religion and the morality it commands5

;o8ever& some are not even a8are that they are in such a condition& having become so habituated to such

vices that they no longer regard them as negative5 The reason for them finding themselves in this condition is

that they have turned their backs to the true religion of #llah5 ;e refers to this human failing in the 9uran,

The 3essenger s$s) 43$ Lor&) m$ (eo(le tret this Q"r5n s something to be ignore&4 *S"rt

l67"r8n) +/.

The notion of loyalty& 8hich 8e are aiming to address in this book& is one that those distanced from the

moral teaching of the 9uran com6letely fail to understandF or 8orse still& 8ill never understand5 #s in all

matters& a great difference eAists bet8een the 8ay believers understand the meaning of loyalty and ho8 non1believers do5 In those societies 8here ignorance of the morality of the 9ur:an is the norm& loyalty is understood

as maintaining a bond bet8een those 8ho love each other& or 8ho share some common relationshi6& taking full

concern of one another:s desires and as6irations5 The loyalty of those 8ho ado6t ignorance as a 8ay of life has

em6tied it of its real meaning& misre6resenting it to disguise the true nature of their actions5

Disbelievers& not having faith& for failing to a66reciate ;is mighty 6o8er& cannot honor #llah 8ith true

loyalty5 They mistakenly believe that living a life in faithfulness to #llah 8ill rob them of all their 8orldly

advantages5 ;o8ever& #llah has informed us that those 8ho are sincerely faithful to ;im 8ill have all the

6leasures they can imagine& in this 8orld and the 8orld to come5 Disbelievers& ho8ever& are not a8are of this

truth5

Rather& disbelievers are faithful& but in a different 8ay5 They are faithful to their base natures& and&

ultimately& to Satan5 ;o8ever& the re8ard a8aiting them in the ;ereafter for their devotion to their selfish

desires and to Satan is eternal anguish5

Hn the contrary& believers em6loy the intelligence that #llah has given them to duly a66reciate ;is 6o8er

and infinite kno8ledge5 They kno8 that ;e alone is 8orthy of 6raise& and live their lives 8ithout com6romise in

their adherence to the moral teachings ;e has revealed in the 9ur:an5 They follo8 faithfully and 8ithout doubt

the 8ay sho8n by the messengers5 They are 6atient through adversity& and al8ays mindful of #llah in

everything they do5 They continually try to 8in ;is favor& not being overcome 8ith fear and anAiety& but

6ersistently seeking ;is good 6leasure5 Even in times of eAtreme duress& they are never unfaithful to ;im5 Hn

the contrary& their closeness to #llah only becomes greater5 Hur mighty Lord has 6romised the believers

forgiveness and a great re8ard in ;is 6resence for their deeds,

In order to convince the Pro6het #dam -as/ that 8hat he said 8as true& and thereby& to 8in his trust& Satan

follo8ed his s6eech 8ith an oath5 In many verses of the 9ur:an& #llah informs us that 6eo6le also do the same to

achieve some 6ersonal benefit5

In the 9ur:an& #llah also informs us that the hy6ocrites 8ith sickness in their hearts offer oaths in this

same 8ay to hide their lack of faith& and to make the believers believe they are sincere5 Hnly through strong

faith in #llah and loyalty to ;im is it 6ossible to remain u6right in the 8ay of #llah& conform to the moral

teachings of the 9ur:an& and to be 6atient through the difficulties involved in inviting others to acce6t true

religion5 @or this reason& it is not 6ossible for those 8ho eAhibit the attributes of hy6ocrites& 8ho are not sincere

in faith& to eA6end veritable effort& and to follo8 the 8ay of the 6ro6hets in the 6ursuit of #llah:s good 6leasure5The insincere& though& being a8are of this fact& 8ill s8ear an oath in the name of #llah to attem6t to mislead the

6ro6hets and devout believers5 But& 8hen they eA6erience the least adversity& they do not hesitate to breach their

oath& disregarding 8hat they s8ore before #llah5 The 9ur:an describes the condition of those 8ho 6romised to

band together 8ith believers& but then 8ent back on their commitment 8hen it came time to fight alongside the

Pro6het -saas/,

To hide their evil intentions& and to attem6t to 8in the trust of the Pro6het -saas/& they s8ear in the name

of #llah5 In this 8ay they thought they could disguise their unfaithfulness and the true intentions hidden in their

hearts& that they might achieve 8hat they 8anted5 ;o8ever& their behavior inevitably reveals their true

intentions5 Hne of the most definite signs of sincere loyalty to #llah is a 6erson:s 8illingness to make sacrifices

for the sake of gaining ;is favor5 Those 8ho have no conce6tion of the significance of such faithfulness inventunfounded eAcuses to avoid self1sacrifice& s8earing in the name of #llah to convince others other8ise5

Hne of the reasons 8hy such 6eo6le s8ear false oaths is because they 8ant to eA6loit the loyalty of the

believers for their o8n advantage5 They think they assume the characteristics of a believer& 8ho is self1

sacrificing& generous and com6assionate& and en

The reason for their s8earing of false oaths is not only to hide their desire for 6ersonal gainF they also

8ant to divert the believers from follo8ing the 8ay of #llah5 ust as Satan s8ore an oath to the Pro6het #dam

-as/ and his 8ife to deceive them and 6revent them from obeying the command of #llah& these 6eo6le o6erate

8ith the same satanic deviousness5 In order to mislead the believers from the true $ay& or& at least& to cause

them some harm& they s8ear oaths as did Satan5 In the 9ur:an& #llah describes that these 6eo6le use oaths as a

shield,

The$ m&e their oths into #lo@ n& brre& the !$ o% Allh) so the$ !ill hve h"militing("nishment *S"rt l63"?&l) >.

But& as #llah announces in this verse& the evil designs of these sick1hearted individuals against the

believers al8ays comes to naughtby the 8ill of #llahresulting only in their o8n humiliation5

Their attem6t to 6it believers against one another& by breaking their 8ord& is a clear indication of their

lack of faithfulness5 Those so morally debased may even think they can make a 6ositive im6ression on their

associates& and& through their false 6romises& feign loyalty5 But& their real intentions 8ill be disclosed 8hen they

8ill be re=uired to demonstrate that loyalty5 #llah describes their false character in the 9ur:an,

The$ s!ore b$ Allh !ith their most ernest oths tht i% !rner #me to them the$ !o"l& be

better g"i&e& thn n$ other #omm"nit$ B"t then !hen !rner &i& #ome to them) it onl$ in#rese&

their version *S"rh 7tir) 0-.

They s8ore to #llah that they 8ould follo8 their messenger if ;e 8ere to send them one5 But& the hatred

they felt for the messenger sent to them demonstrated clearly that they 8ere not true to their 6romise5

#s #llah revealed in the 33th verse of Surah #l JImran& they sold their 6romise for a 6altry 6rice,

Those !ho sell Allh's #ontr#t n& their o!n oths %or (ltr$ (ri#e) s"#h (eo(le !ill hve no

Those 8ho are guilty of this manner of thinking behave similarly 8ith regards to 6ledges they make to

others5 Their refusal to abide by their 8ord& recogniCing the rights of others& derives from the fact that they do

not 8ant the res6onsibility of loyalty eA6ected of them to interfere 8ith their 6ersonal gain5 @or this reason&

agreements ratified 8ith such 6eo6le 8ill usually end in betrayal5 #llah tells us in the 9ur:an that they do not

abide by their 8ord& but seiCe the first o66ortunity available to break an agreement,


13/63

Hne reason 8hy such 6eo6le act 8ith such a lack of conscience is that #llah has hardened their hearts5

#llah reveals in the 9ur:an& that they are condemned because they break their 6romises& also 8arning believers

of their intentions,

B"t be#"se o% their bre@ing o% their #ovennt)


14/63

$e can see that an unfounded sense of loyalty causes these 6eo6le to o66ose the commands of #llah& to

rebel against it& and even to be hostile to anyone 8ho adheres to the 6rinci6les of its morality and tries to inform

others about it5 They 8ent to the 6oint of asking our Pro6het -saas/ to change the 9ur:an,


15/63


16/63

Those 8ho attain 6ositions of leadershi6 in such societies are those 8ith money& 6ro6erty& fame& 6restige&

and numerous devotees& 8ho su66ort them constantly& never leaving them alone5 The reason being that 6eo6le

8ant to identify a trait of su6eriority in another that 8ill

They desire to see in the 6ro6hets a trait of su6eriority& corres6onding to their o8n false eA6ectations5 But

these same eA6ectations 6revent them from understanding the true su6eriority to be found in 6ro6hets& that is&

su6eriority in kno8ledge and 6hysical strength& that #llah has granted them5 They do not gras6 the virtue and

su6eriority of the 6ro6hets sent to them& and& therefore& 6ersistently turn their backs to their call5 In the verse

=uoted belo8& #llah tells us that this is the only reason for their not believing in the 6ro6hets,

They do not believe in the 6ro6hets& or acce6t their $ay& but accuse them of 6ursuing some 6ersonal gain5

#ccording to their 8ay of thinking& one 8ho other8ise does not 6ossess any traits of su6eriority& 8ould seekonly to gain a follo8ing5 @or this reason& the leaders of the disbelieving societies& 8ho 8ere 8ealthy and

6restigious& tried to accuse the 6ro6hets of ulterior motives& and sought every o66ortunity to discredit them5

Pharaoh:s reaction to the Pro6het 'usa -as/& and his brother ;arun -as/& after he had called him to the service of

#llah& is an eAam6le that demonstrates the behavior of those 8ith this distorted o6inion of #llah:s messengers5

The 9ur:an recounts the conversation that took 6lace bet8een Pharaoh and 'usa -as/,


18/63

The corru6t notions of the disbelievers have for ages ke6t them from the 8ay of #llah5 But& true loyalty is

only that 8hich is felt to8ards #llah and ;is messengers5 Those 8ho think other8ise must immediately

abandon all such ideas& try to a66reciate the 6o8er and ma.

The reason disbelievers are so 8eak in character is that they do not have the real sense of the meaning of

loyalty& nor of the strength and determination that this loyalty arouses5 Throughout their lives& disbelievers


19/63

ascribe 6artners to #llah& making other gods for themselves5 They s6end their lives devoted to these gods& and

live according to the dictates of this devotion5 But& because the gods they have fashioned cannot 6roffer them

the strength they need to 6ersevere in difficult times& they =uickly lose their devotion and false loyalty for them5

Therefore& difficult and troubling situations are im6ortant determining factors to reveal their true character5

Peo6le:s reaction to trying situations reveals their sham devotion and loyalty to #llah in hy6ocrites and

those 8ith sickness in their heart5 Because they do not have a real sense of the meaning of loyalty and devotion

to ;im& they cannot bear 8ith 6atience in times of difficulty or anAiety5 @or this reason& in order to avoid

situations that are troubling due to the 8eakness of their lo8er1selves& they are constantly offering eAcuses5 In

the 9ur:an& #llah informs us about the insincerity of those 8ho& 8hen faced 8ith such hard times& tried to avoid

them by asking leave from our Pro6het -saas/5 In the follo8ing verse& #llah reveals the 8ords and real

intentions of these characters,

Because these 6eo6le did not believe in #llah 8ith certainty& 8hen the time came for them to make a self1

sacrifice& they 8ere unable to be devoted or loyal to #llah and ;is messengers5 They could not see that

remaining faithful to #llah and ;is Pro6het& and 8orking to earn #llah:s favor& 8ould bring them enormous gain

both in this 8orld and the 8orld to come5 They 8ere deceived by the life of this 8orld& and failed to earn #llah:s

favor through their lack of 6atience5 In Surat an1>isa:& #llah tells us that those 8ho& because they cannot be

6atient in time of difficulty or anAiety& do not live as faith dictates& 6refer to dissociate themselves from

believers,

Among $o" there re (eo(le !ho hng b#@ n& i% $o" en#o"nter setb#@ then the$ s$) 4Allh

hs blesse& me in tht I !s not there !ith them4 *S"rt n6Nis') -.

In this verse& #llah tells us that these individuals cannot a66reciate the im6ortance and the gravity of the

situation in 8hich they find themselves5 They regard it as a blessing to have been able to avoid an act of self1

sacrifice& that 8ould other8ise have earned them #llah:s favor& sho8ing clearly ho8 little they understood5

#nother form of insincerity evidenced in these 6eo6le is that they are loyal and agreeable 8hen they get

8hat they 8ant& ho8& and 8hen they 8ant it5 $hen they live a life of comfort and ease& having gained the things

they 8ant& they do not hesitate to sho8 loyalty to #llah and ;is messengers5 But& 8hen they are re=uired to do

something they do not like& or is not to their advantage& their lack of sincerity immediately comes to light5 In the9ur:an& #llah tells us about the behavior of such individuals,


20/63

The moral dis6osition of this hy6ocritical character is far from the self1sacrifice and 6atience that

believers 6ractice to gain #llah:s favor5 Because they do not believe sincerely in their hearts& they are unable to

live in search of #llah:s favorF they cannot submit unconditionally to ;is commands and 6rohibitionsF and& they

cannot believe and trust in the 6ro6hets5 That is a dis6osition only those 8ho are bound by true faith and loyalty

to #llah can have5 The insincere& on the other hand& 8ill not al8ays be able to hide their false loyalty5 #llah 8ill

eventually distinguish bet8een these hy6ocrites and the believers& 8ho submit to ;im 8ith faithfulness& and ;e

8ill create those situations in 8hich believers 8ill be able to recogniCe their true character5


21/63

THE I3:ORTANCE O7 LOYALTY

L oyalty is one of the highest virtues found among those 8ho sincerely believe in #llah5 The sincere

faithfulness they demonstrate in the 8ay of #llah 6roves they are truly sincere5 It re=uires a great deal of

6atience& and heart1felt devotion& for one to 6rofess faith in #llah& to live 8ithout eA6ecting some 6rofit& to seek

throughout his life to earn #llah:s favor& to make use of everything he o8ns and loves to gain ;is 6leasure& and

to be 6atient in times of difficulty5 The strength of 8ill to 6roceed in the 8ay of #llah can only come to one

through the love he feels to8ards #llah& and the strong sense of devotion and loyalty that this love incurs5

De6ending on ho8 strong and sincere one:s devotion and submission to #llah is& the greater he 8ill be able to

dra8 closer to ;im& as the 6leasure he derives in seeking to gain ;is favor increases5 The source of this s6iritual

strength that believers 6ossess is the trust and loyalty they feel to8ards #llah5 @or this reason& faithfulness and

loyalty are among the essential characteristics that se6arate believers from others5 $hen a believer s6ends his

life conforming to the commands and 6rohibitions of #llah& he 8ill& by ;is grace& receive the re8ard of ;is

mercy and Paradise5

In times of difficulty and distress& the believers: faithfulness to8ards #llah and ;is messengers 8ill be

revealed& 8hile the insincerity and faithlessness of disbelievers 8ill be uncovered5 In times of difficulty&

believers 8ill say& 4This is !ht Allh n& His 3essenger (romise& "s Allh n& His 3essenger tol& "sthe tr"th4 -Surat al1#hCab& ((/ and eA6ressed their submission and devotion to #llah5 In the 9ur:an& 8ith the

verse& 4 KBelievers re those !ho re ste&%st n& ("t their tr"st in their Lor&4-Surat an1>ahl& .(/& #llah

6raises this high morality that believers eAhibit5

So& the bond of loyalty the believers feel makes itself kno8n in the 6leasure they derive and

determination they eAhibit 8hen com6lying 8ith the moral teachings of the 9ur:an5

By his trust and submission to #llah in times of difficulty& our Pro6het -saas/ 8as an eAam6le to all

'uslimsF he told believers that they must be steadfast in their faithfulness to #llah at all times for ;e tests

6eo6le 8ith both good and evil as a trial,

" When you ask for anything ask it from Allah, and if you seek help in Allah. Know that if the

people were to unite to do you some benefit they could benefit you only with what Allah had recorded for

you, and that if they were to unite to do you some injury they could injure you only with what Allah had

recorded for you.." (irmidhi!

#nother im6ortant benefit of faithfulness is the fact that it unites the believers together5 This renders it

difficult for the evil1intentioned& 8ho 8ant to stir u6 strife among the believers& to 6revent them from

6erforming good deeds& destroy their solidarity to one another& and other destructive 6loys& from insinuating

themselves into the community of believers5 The sincere faithfulness and devotion that believers feel to8ards


22/63

#llah and the 6ro6hets cannot be imitatedF this is a sentiment that is shared only by believers5 >o matter ho8

much they try to conceal that 8hich is themselves& those 8ho mingle 8ith the believers& only to im6ugn their

religion& cannot imitate a believer:s submission to #llahF and& for this reason& they 8ill never be able to achieve

their aims5 It is the strong sense of loyalty and submission to #llah that distinguishes devout believers from

those 8ith sickness in their hearts5 This sense of loyalty also fosters a strong bond that 8ill meld the believers

together throughout their lives5 By their 6rofound loyalty to #llah& believers 8ill be able to both recogniCe and

6rotect themselves from the evil1intentioned 8ho seek to cause them harm5 #s 8ell& their love and trust in other

believers 8ill increase as they recogniCe each other:s sincerity and determination in their cause5 In this 8ay&

#llah 8ill rid the believers of these evil1intentioned souls and confer u6on them a 6rofound faith 8ith 8hich to

face any occasion5

#llah tells us in the 9ur:an about the behavior of those 8ho a66ear out8ardly to be believers& but 8ho

reveal their lack of faith in #llah by abstaining from hel6ing one another as they 8ere re=uired to,

As %or those !ho believe n& &o right #tions) He !ill ($ them their !ges in %"ll n& !ill give

n6Nis') >+.

Because they have a strong feeling of submission to #llah& believers& even in very difficult situations&

6ersistently formulate and act u6on decisions in such a 8ay as to earn ;is favor5 #s #llah says in the 9ur:an&

they kno8 that under all circumstances it is best for them to remain faithful to #llah,

In the above1=uoted verses& #llah also informs us that a strong sense of loyalty arouses in an individual a

conscientiousness that 6revents him from 6rocrastinating in conforming to 8hat is right5 If a 6erson is strong in

faith and submission to #llah& his inner sense of loyalty 8ill kee6 him from being indecisive& and hel6 him to

resist giving in to the inclinations of his lo8er1self5 So& armed 8ith this loyalty and sense of submission&

8hatever the circumstances& he 8ill easily overcome such urges5

#nother im6ortant characteristic that faithfulness gives rise to in a believer is the love and trust they share

bet8een one another5 These sentiments are formed through the sincere effort they 6ut forth in the 8ay of #llah5

# believer& 8ho makes use of everything he has as a means to earn #llah:s favor& and remains on the straight

6ath& 8ill receive the love of his fello8 'uslim brothers& 8hile being a good eAam6le for them5 So& thefaithfulness that believers eAhibit at all times on the 8ay of #llah 8ill increase the love& devotion and trust they

feel to8ards one another5

Loyalty also endo8s a believer 8ith a sense of determination in engaging in good deeds in the 8ay of

#llah& and the fine moral =ualities he eAhibits to 8in ;is favor5 ;y6ocrites& ho8ever& 8ho harbor sickness in

their hearts& cannot 6ossess this determination in their 8orshi6 and moral eAcellence because Satan has deceived

them5 They are likely to abandon a good deed as soon as the slightest difficulty arises& or if they have lost the


23/63

energy to 6ersist5 Because their determination is 8eak& they cannot attain their goals5 This is because they do not

have the sense of loyalty or devotion in their hearts that ought to accom6any 8hat they are endeavoring5

Therefore& they remain 8ithout the determination these =ualities 8ould have given rise to5 But& because of the

loyalty devoted believers feel to8ards #llah& they are able to eAhibit this integrity throughout their lives&

6racticing the moral teachings of the 9ur:an& ultimately 8inning ;is favor5 In the 9ur:an& #llah eA6lains that

8hat is best for believers is to seek to continually 6erform good deeds,

Hne can be faithful to another 6erson& and devote his entire life to his or her needs and desires& only if he

bound in love& those involved are far from understanding the true meaning of faithfulness and love that #llah

on a number of humanly1devised values& and is far from eA6eriencing the de6th and integrity of that of

6romised to sho8 them that everything they eA6erience 8ithin themselves& and in the outside 8orld& is truth5

The above verse informs us that believers behave 8ith the kno8ledge that everything that ha66ens to them in

the course of their lives occurs in accordance 8ith the 6romise #llah has made to them5 Their faith& love and

conse=uent submission and faithfulness continually increase5 They kno8 that #llah is the constant friend and

The voice of our lo8er1selves and that of Satan continually urge us to8ards evil5 Great determination or

8ill16o8er is needed in order not to become entangled u6 in these satanic intimations5 So& fear of #llah renders

a 6erson:s sense of determination firm5 In the 9ur:an& #llah commands believers to fear ;im,

and to be a8ake to the desires of Satan and his o8n inner1self& and to be alert and 6re6ared for the tricks and

games that they 6lay5 This 8ill vitiate the deceit of Satan and the inner voice of the lo8er1self that 8ant to get

@or this reason& Satan and the inner voice of the ego are 6articularly interested in removing the fear of#llah from 6eo6le5 They 8ant to 6revent them from fearing #llah by false intimations& such as that& the most

im6ortant thing is to have a 6ure heart5 ;o8ever& a 6erson 8ho has read the 9ur:an is a8are that these kinds of

satanic intimations have no validityF he 8ill easily see that their 6ur6ose is to deceive and lead 6eo6le astray5 In

#llah& and reminded them that ado6ting this morality is the only 8ay to salvation in this 8orld and in the 8orld to

It is the res6onsibility of believers never to forget the significance of these verses that #llah has revealed& and to

serve ;im 8ith determination& 6atience and faithfulness5

# strong sense of faithfulness 8ill bring about strong faith& and 8ill 6rovide a believer the strength and true

6atience to face the many difficulties that may occur5 It 8ill also make of him a devoted servant& 8ho al8ays turns to

#llah& remembers ;im& fears ;im& loves ;im& and takes only ;im as his 6rotector5 ;is strong devotion to #llah 8ill

direct him to earn ;is favor& by constantly 6erforming good deeds on ;is 6ath& and make him one 8orthy of attaininga high moral character and mature faith5 Therefore& the loyalty and devotion felt for #llah and ;is messenger are the

=ualities that se6arate believers from othersF they demonstrate their sincerity& and are the essential characteristics of a

believer& and grant him strength in every stage of his life5 In the 9ur:an& #llah s6eaks of this strong bond that believers

feel,

Hne of the clearest indications of the faithfulness and devotion believers feel to8ards #llah is their concern to

attain such courage& 6atience& determination& the 8illingness to 6erform self1sacrifices& and never com6romise their

high moral character& is because they firmly embrace the teachings of the 9ur:an& feeling also a strong sense of

obedience and loyalty to8ards #llah5 In the 9ur:an& #llah refers to the Pro6het >uh -as/ as an eAam6le of faithfulness&

THE DECE:TION O7 EOLUTION

D ar8inism& in other 8ords the theory of evolution& 8as 6ut for8ard 8ith the aim of denying the fact of

creation& but is in truth nothing but failed& unscientific nonsense5 This theory& 8hich claims that life emerged by chance

from inanimate matter& 8as invalidated by the scientific evidence of clear design in the universe and in living things5

In this 8ay& science confirmed the fact that #llah created the universe and the living things in it5 The 6ro6aganda

carried out today in order to kee6 the theory of evolution alive is based solely on the distortion of the scientific facts&

biased inter6retation& and lies and falsehoods disguised as science5

Yet this 6ro6aganda cannot conceal the truth5 The fact that the theory of evolution is the greatest dece6tion in

the history of science has been eA6ressed more and more in the scientific 8orld over the last ("10" years5 Research

carried out after the )*2"s in 6articular has revealed that the claims of Dar8inism are totally unfounded& something

that has been stated by a large number of scientists5 In the +nited States in 6articular& many scientists from such

different fields as biology& biochemistry and 6aleontology recogniCe the invalidity of Dar8inism and em6loy the

conce6t of intelligent design to account for the origin of life5 This intelligent design is a scientific eA6ression of the

fact that #llah created all living things5

$e have eAamined the colla6se of the theory of evolution and the 6roofs of creation in great scientific detail in

many of our 8orks& and are still continuing to do so5 Given the enormous im6ortance of this sub


51/63

(/ >o scientific finding sho8s that the evolutionary mechanisms 6ro6osed by the theory have any

evolutionary 6o8er at all5

0/ The fossil record 6roves the eAact o66osite of 8hat the theory suggests5

In this section& 8e 8ill eAamine these three basic 6oints in general outlines,

THE 7IRST INSUR3OUNTABLE STE:, THE ORIJIN O7 LI7E

The theory of evolution 6osits that all living s6ecies evolved from a single living cell that emerged on the

6rimitive Earth 052 billion years ago5 ;o8 a single cell could generate millions of com6leA living s6ecies and& if such

an evolution really occurred& 8hy traces of it cannot be observed in the fossil record are some of the =uestions that the

theory cannot ans8er5 ;o8ever& first and foremost& 8e need to ask, ;o8 did this first cell originate

Since the theory of evolution denies creation and any kind of su6ernatural intervention& it maintains that the

first cell originated coincidentally 8ithin the la8s of nature& 8ithout any design& 6lan or arrangement5 #ccording to

the theory& inanimate matter must have 6roduced a living cell as a result of coincidences5 Such a claim& ho8ever& is

inconsistent 8ith the most unassailable rules of biology5

4LI7E CO3ES 7RO3 LI7E4

In his book& Dar8in never referred to the origin of life5 The 6rimitive understanding of science in his time rested

on the assum6tion that living beings had a very sim6le structure5 Since medieval times& s6ontaneous generation& 8hich

asserts that non1living materials came together to form living organisms& had been 8idely acce6ted5 It 8as commonly

believed that insects came into being from food leftovers& and mice from 8heat5 Interesting eA6eriments 8ere

conducted to 6rove this theory5 Some 8heat 8as 6laced on a dirty 6iece of cloth& and it 8as believed that mice 8ould

originate from it after a 8hile5

Similarly& maggots develo6ing in rotting meat 8as assumed to be evidence of s6ontaneous generation5

;o8ever& it 8as later understood that 8orms did not a66ear on meat s6ontaneously& but 8ere carried there by flies in

the form of larvae& invisible to the naked eye5

Even 8hen Dar8in 8rote The !rigin of S"e#ies& the belief that bacteria could come into eAistence from non1

living matter 8as 8idely acce6ted in the 8orld of science5

;o8ever& five years after the 6ublication of Dar8in:s book& Louis Pasteur announced his results after long

studies and eA6eriments& that dis6roved s6ontaneous generation& a cornerstone of Dar8in:s theory5 In his trium6hal

lecture at the Sorbonne in )2.& Pasteur said, %>ever 8ill the doctrine of s6ontaneous generation recover from the

mortal blo8 struck by this sim6le eA6eriment5)

@or a long time& advocates of the theory of evolution resisted these findings5 ;o8ever& as the develo6ment of

science unraveled the com6leA structure of the cell of a living being& the idea that life could come into beingcoincidentally faced an even greater im6asse5

could originate by coincidence5 These studies& ho8ever& 8ere doomed to failure& and H6arin had to make the follo8ing

confession,

+nfortunately& ho8ever& the 6roblem of the origin of the cell is 6erha6s the most obscure 6oint in the 8hole

study of the evolution of organisms5(

Evolutionist follo8ers of H6arin tried to carry out eA6eriments to solve this 6roblem5 The best kno8neA6eriment 8as carried out by the #merican chemist Stanley 'iller in )*!05 %ombining the gases he alleged to have

eAisted in the 6rimordial Earth:s atmos6here in an eA6eriment set1u6& and adding energy to the miAture& 'iller

synthesiCed several organic molecules -amino acids/ 6resent in the structure of 6roteins5

Barely a fe8 years had 6assed before it 8as revealed that this eA6eriment& 8hich 8as then 6resented as an

im6ortant ste6 in the name of evolution& 8as invalid& for the atmos6here used in the eA6eriment 8as very different

from the real Earth conditions50

#fter a long silence& 'iller confessed that the atmos6here medium he used 8as unrealistic5.

#ll the evolutionists: efforts throughout the t8entieth century to eA6lain the origin of life ended in failure5 The

geochemist effrey Bada& from the San Diego Scri66s Institute acce6ts this fact in an article 6ublished in Earth

magaCine in )**2,

Today as 8e leave the t8entieth century& 8e still face the biggest unsolved 6roblem that 8e had 8hen 8e

entered the t8entieth century, ;o8 did life originate on Earth!

THE CO3:LE STRUCTURE O7 LI7E

The 6rimary reason 8hy the theory of evolution ended u6 in such a great im6asse regarding the origin of life is

that even those living organisms deemed to be the sim6lest have incredibly com6leA structures5 The cell of a living

thing is more com6leA than all of our man1made technological 6roducts5 Today& even in the most develo6ed

laboratories of the 8orld& a living cell cannot be 6roduced by bringing organic chemicals together5The conditions re=uired for the formation of a cell are too great in =uantity to be eA6lained a8ay by

coincidences5 The 6robability of 6roteins& the building blocks of a cell& being synthesiCed coincidentally& is ) in )"*!"

for an average 6rotein made u6 of !"" amino acids5 In mathematics& a 6robability smaller than ) over )"!"

is

considered to be im6ossible in 6ractical terms5

The D># molecule& 8hich is located in the nucleus of a cell and 8hich stores genetic information& is an

incredible databank5 If the information coded in D># 8ere 8ritten do8n& it 8ould make a giant library consisting of

an estimated *"" volumes of encyclo6edias consisting of !"" 6ages each5

# very interesting dilemma emerges at this 6oint, D># can re6licate itself only 8ith the hel6 of some

s6ecialiCed 6roteins -enCymes/5 ;o8ever& the synthesis of these enCymes can be realiCed only by the information

coded in D>#5 #s they both de6end on each other& they have to eAist at the same time for re6lication5 This brings the

scenario that life originated by itself to a deadlock5 Prof5 Leslie Hrgel& an evolutionist of re6ute from the +niversity of

San Diego& %alifornia& confesses this fact in the Se6tember )**. issue of the S#ientifi# A&eri#anmagaCine,

It is eAtremely im6robable that 6roteins and nucleic acids& both of 8hich are structurally com6leA& arose

s6ontaneously in the same 6lace at the same time5 Yet it also seems im6ossible to have one 8ithout the other5 #nd so&

at first glance& one might have to conclude that life could never& in fact& have originated by chemical means5


53/63

>o doubt& if it is im6ossible for life to have originated from natural causes& then it has to be acce6ted that life

8as created in a su6ernatural 8ay5 This fact eA6licitly invalidates the theory of evolution& 8hose main 6ur6ose is to

deny creation5

I3AJINARY 3ECHANIS3 O7 EOLUTION

The second im6ortant 6oint that negates Dar8in:s theory is that both conce6ts 6ut for8ard by the theory as

evolutionary mechanisms 8ere understood to have& in reality& no evolutionary 6o8er5

Dar8in based his evolution allegation entirely on the mechanism of natural selection5 The im6ortance he

6laced on this mechanism 8as evident in the name of his book, The !rigin of S"e#ies$ y Means of Natural

Sele#tion(

>atural selection holds that those living things that are stronger and more suited to the natural conditions of

their habitats 8ill survive in the struggle for life5 @or eAam6le& in a deer herd under the threat of attack by 8ild animals&

those that can run faster 8ill survive5 Therefore& the deer herd 8ill be com6rised of faster and stronger individuals5

;o8ever& un=uestionably& this mechanism 8ill not cause deer to evolve and transform themselves into another livings6ecies& for instance& horses5

Therefore& the mechanism of natural selection has no evolutionary 6o8er5 Dar8in 8as also a8are of this fact

and had to state this in his book The !rigin of S"e#ies,

>atural selection can do nothing until favorable individual differences or variations occur53

LA3ARC;'S I3:ACT

So& ho8 could these favorable variations occur Dar8in tried to ans8er this =uestion from the stand6oint of

the 6rimitive understanding of science at that time5 #ccording to the @rench biologist %hevalier de Lamarck -)3..1)2(*/& 8ho lived before Dar8in& living creatures 6assed on the traits they ac=uired during their lifetime to the neAt

generation5 ;e asserted that these traits& 8hich accumulated from one generation to another& caused ne8 s6ecies to be

formed5 @or instance& he claimed that giraffes evolved from antelo6esF as they struggled to eat the leaves of high trees&

their necks 8ere eAtended from generation to generation5

Dar8in also gave similar eAam6les5 In his book The !rigin of S"e#ies$for instance& he said that some bears

going into 8ater to find food transformed themselves into 8hales over time52

;o8ever& the la8s of inheritance discovered by Gregor 'endel -)2((12./ and verified by the science of

genetics& 8hich flourished in the t8entieth century& utterly demolished the legend that ac=uired traits 8ere 6assed on to

subse=uent generations5 Thus& natural selection fell out of favor as an evolutionary mechanism5

NEO6DAR


54/63

Today& the model that stands for evolution in the 8orld is >eo1Dar8inism5 The theory maintains that millions of

living beings formed as a result of a 6rocess 8hereby numerous com6leA organs of these organisms -e5g5& ears& eyes&

lungs& and 8ings/ under8ent mutations& that is& genetic disorders5 Yet& there is an outright scientific fact that totally

undermines this theory, 'utations do not cause living beings to develo6F on the contrary& they are al8ays harmful5

The reason for this is very sim6le, D># has a very com6leA structure& and random effects can only harm it5 The

#merican geneticist B5G5 Ranganathan eA6lains this as follo8s,

@irst& genuine mutations are very rare in nature5 Secondly& most mutations are harmful since they are random&

rather than orderly changes in the structure of genesF any random change in a highly ordered system 8ill be for the

8orse& not for the better5 @or eAam6le& if an earth=uake 8ere to shake a highly ordered structure such as a building&

there 8ould be a random change in the frame8ork of the building 8hich& in all 6robability& 8ould not be an

im6rovement5*

>ot sur6risingly& no mutation eAam6le& 8hich is useful& that is& 8hich is observed to develo6 the genetic code&

has been observed so far5 #ll mutations have 6roved to be harmful5 It 8as understood that mutation& 8hich is 6resented

as an evolutionary mechanism& is actually a genetic occurrence that harms living things& and leaves them disabled5

-The most common effect of mutation on human beings is cancer5/ Hf course& a destructive mechanism cannot be an

evolutionary mechanism5 >atural selection& on the other hand& can do nothing by itself& as Dar8in also acce6ted5

This fact sho8s us that there is no evolutionary mechanism in nature5 Since no evolutionary mechanism eAists& no

such any imaginary 6rocess called evolution could have taken 6lace5

THE 7OSSIL RECORD, NO SIJN O7 INTER3EDIATE 7OR3S

The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the theory of evolution did not take 6lace is the fossil

record5

#ccording to this theory& every living s6ecies has s6rung from a 6redecessor5 # 6reviously eAisting s6eciesturned into something else over time and all s6ecies have come into being in this 8ay5 In other 8ords& this

transformation 6roceeds gradually over millions of years5

;ad this been the case& numerous intermediary s6ecies should have eAisted and lived 8ithin this long

transformation 6eriod5

@or instance& some half1fish7half1re6tiles should have lived in the 6ast 8hich had ac=uired some re6tilian traits

in addition to the fish traits they already had5 Hr there should have eAisted some re6tile1birds& 8hich ac=uired some

bird traits in addition to the re6tilian traits they already had5 Since these 8ould be in a transitional 6hase& they should

be disabled& defective& cri66led living beings5 Evolutionists refer to these imaginary creatures& 8hich they believe to

have lived in the 6ast& as transitional forms5

If such animals ever really eAisted& there should be millions and even billions of them in number and variety5

'ore im6ortantly& the remains of these strange creatures should be 6resent in the fossil record5 In he #rigin of

+pecies& Dar8in eA6lained,

If my theory be true& numberless intermediate varieties& linking most closely all of the s6ecies of the same grou6

together must assuredly have eAisted555 %onse=uently& evidence of their former eAistence could be found only amongst

fossil remains5)"
