Evolution VS Creation

Assalamulaikum and greetings to everyone.

Let us recite Al-Quran and understand its meaning ya? .... :)

The next article commences with a quote as follows:

“They will find it difficult, those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth, as the authority.”

In the month of Ramadhan, Al-Quran, the Divine Book of Revelation was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) to guide us to the straight path that will lead us to the only truth and thus, wonderful happiness in the Hereafter. In conjunction with the Nuzul Quran event on Ramadhan 17, I am compelled to continue blogging by raising an inevitably well-known subject in the world of science-Evolution.

To begin with, let us ponder on the meaning of these verses from Surah Al-Baqarah (The Heifer) line 1-4:

 

"Alif Lam Mim(1). This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah (2); Who believe in the Unseen; are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them (3); And who believe in the Revelation sent to you, and sent before your time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter (4)."

 

The Al-Quranul Karim is none other than a primary source of reference to those who have true faith in Allah and live by its messages. It is a proof of the creation, a manual to mankind’s proper and accepted way of life as well as a strong weapon to reject nonsense assumptions and ideologies by the Unbelievers like Charles Darwin and those who follow him.

 

What is the theory of evolution?

Oh ya, this is Darwin. Excuse me? Oh ya, this is before he evolved to Orang Utan.. he3

Also known as Darwinism, this theory was proposed by Charles Darwin, an English naturalist long even before science ever knew what genetic is. This theory says that living organisms originate from inanimate matters co-incidentally and then gradually evolve by natural selection. The concept is also being described as the survival of the fittest.

Having said that, let us go through point by point on why is this theory wrong and unacceptable, be it from religion perspective or even from that of pure science.

First, this theory is merely an assumption as admitted by Darwin himself in his book of The Origin of Species. After nineteenth century, when knowledge about genetics became widespread, many scientific findings eventually rendered this theory a blithering fallacy that is both unscientific and nonsense.

This theory does not only deny creation and never accept the divine intervention in the origin of life, it also blatantly claims that the first life exists naturally without any design, plan or arrangement. This is nevertheless, contradicting with even the unassailable rules of Biology. The claim is inevitably false. One good example for us to easily understand this is the appearance of worms in meat. Initially, it was believed that the generation was spontaneous, that is, worms exist from meat? Those with scientific knowledge will quickly point out that this is wrong. In real fact, it is proven in nature that worms are actually carried by flies in the form of larvae and are invisible to the naked eye. Understood? Easy right?

Following this fact and reality, many scientists and researchers like a Russian, Alexander Oparin conducted theses to prove that life could originate by co-incidence. The result? Over time, what they attempted only doomed to failures. Advocates of evolution were forced by truth to give in and confess their mistakes and misjudge.

One primary and significant reason why has this theory failed itself is because, even an organism deemed the simplest have incredibly complex structures. So, even with the most sophisticated and developed laboratories we have on earth now, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing together organic chemicals. Hence, isn’t it true that life was created, and not spontaneously came to being? Let’s put that in deep contemplation.

Next, it is also being calculated that the probability for a protein of 500 amino acids to be synthesized spontaneously is 1 in 10 ^950!! Dude, that is undoubtedly impossible as in real fact, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 ^50 is practically deemed not possible. Apart from that, there’s also a chicken and egg issue here. The DNA and some specialized enzymes. Which one does exist first? It is impossible for both to occur simultaneously as in chicken and egg. Why? Because for a DNA to replicate (make a copy of itself), it needs a certain enzyme but this enzyme could not exist without its synthesis, which requires the coding of genetic information stored in the DNA. So? Just say bye bye to both chicken and egg. The answer is no other than the existence of creation. And obviously, they are created by Allah, the Almighty, the All-knowing.

Well they are still a number of other things to point out but let's not make this too long. Perhaps we may continue discussing about this sometime later. Alright everyone? I would like to end this post with the following translation of verses:

They said, “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."

(Surat al-Baqara: 32)

Wallahuaklam.. (Allah surely knows better)

Wassalam.. :)
