THE SCIENTIFIC INVALIDITY OF EVOLUTION
Dr. Ali K. Pekkendir
1.. If it is scientific, rational, and logical to believe that in a pharmacy, during windy weather, storms accidentally mix some chemicals together and prepare pills and capsules in exact microgram measurements, then place them into boxes, even writing their names and contents on the labels by sheer coincidence, and then the same storms neatly arrange the medicine boxes on the shelves—then, yes, evolutionists may continue to believe in the absurd theory of Chance, Self-Formation, and Evolution.
Death is not far away… in just a few years, when you enter the grave, you will “observationally” and “scientifically” learn and know the truth for yourself!
2.. A laptop on our desk, a mobile phone, or a wristwatch could never form “on their own” through millions of years of evolution and natural events, with atoms and elements accidentally combining.
If such things require a “Designer,” a manufacturer, or an engineer, then how can living beings—flowers, fruits, animals with souls, and human beings—be claimed to “form on their own” as the result of accidental events over millions of years?
Thus, looking at existence and the living world through the materialist, atheist, evolutionist lens drags a person into “complex ignorance,” and under the guise of science throws them farthest away from true science, reason, and awareness.
3.. Anyone who, like me, has several times toured the halls of the Museum of Natural History in London will see with their own eyes that fossils of frogs, mosquitoes, mussels, and oysters that lived 60–100 million years ago, and which have never undergone evolution or any change, are on display.
Meanwhile, dinosaurs, the strongest and largest-bodied animals, became extinct. Their 60-million-year-old skeletons are hanging in the exhibition halls.
Therefore, the Creator, Designer, Inventor of the mosquitoes, frogs, and mussels of today is the very same One who created the mosquitoes, frogs, and mussels 100 million years ago.
The fossil dog in the photograph belongs to a dog from 12 million years ago—yet it is no different from today’s species. The mosquito, frog, and duck in the photograph lived 60 million years ago—completely unchanged! In the museum you will see Shark fossils aged 500 million years… Sharks, like the other species did not evolve into another species for 500 million years.. Same thing for all other sea animal fossils.
No intermediate fossil proving a transition from one species to another has ever been found!
4.. Likewise, the divine “camera” called the Eye, in its millions of variations, has always been created in flawless perfection, unchanged for 500 million years, in all animal species and in humans. This proves that their Artist and Master is one and the same Being.
5.. The Designer and Maker of bees in Argentina cannot be different from the Maker of bees in Austria.
Bees and their atoms cannot create themselves, their eyes, wings, or stingers. The conditions surrounding bee eggs—atoms, air, water, sunlight, etc.—which are mindless, unconscious, unmeasured, and random, cannot design a perfect aircraft like the bee nor a producer of sweet, healing honey, nor give them existence and life.
Hundreds of thousands of miraculous species of animals, and thousands of flower species of all colors and fragrances, and thousands of different fruits and vegetables in form and taste, certainly cannot be formed by the random combining of atoms or mindless “nature.”
The creatures created this spring, last spring, or 100 million years ago—none can be the result of lifeless, soulless, unconscious atoms randomly combining!
Those who say it is so have clearly resigned from reason, awareness, and the science they boast so much about. They have adopted a religion of Evolution or Nature, and taken atoms as gods by the trillions.
The Darwinist, evolutionist, naturalist polytheism of the last two centuries is the ugliest and most irrational path of denial and unbelief in human history.
6.. The DNA program inside our chromosomes is different for each creature, and no program or software can arise without a programmer. This is a scientific truth.
Inside the DNA spirals of chromosomes in plants, animals, and humans, each creature’s physical character and features are perfectly programmed. The four nitrogen bases—adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine—supported by the sugar-phosphate backbone, encode the genetic program written by the Divine Pen of Destiny.
Through combinations of these four components, countless living species are given unique forms, colors, coats, and weapons.
Both the beings of today and those of 100 million years ago had these genetic codes in their nuclei.
Yet, believers in the “Religion of Evolution” attribute these programs/codes to chance, unconscious nature, and self-formation over millions of years. They believe and profess these baseless, proofless, lab-unverified claims as if they were scientific fact.
Would it be scientific to say that Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook programs appeared by themselves in the computer’s hard drive through random atomic collisions? If evolutionists truly made such claims, they would owe Microsoft millions in libel damages.
7.. EVOLUTION IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC LAW BUT A “THEORY” BASED ON UNPROVEN ASSUMPTIONS.
Evolutionists’ claims are not based on any genetic, zoological, or botanical evidence, observation, or experiment. Evolution is not a proven law of science but only a theory built on speculation.
This is why half of American scientists reject it. Hundreds of professors in the Creationist / Intelligent Design movement have written books examining zoology, botany, and genetics on the basis of Creation.
8.. The core principle of evolution is “chance.” It claims that living beings arose from the chance combination of nonliving molecules. It claims that new species like horses evolved from donkeys and dogs. Yet it has never been proven.
Science requires proof through lab experiments, observation, and fixed laws. Evolutionists, when they say “millions of years ago this happened,” rely on no observation or experiment—just speculation polished into atheistic dogma.
If they had proven evolution, all educated people in the world would be atheists. Yet since it is only a weak theory, only 15 to 40% of educated populations are atheists. Believers in a Creator are always the majority.
9.. Faith in One Creator (Tawhid) is proven and finds a firm foundation with a single Proof… let alone that the proofs and evidence are not one, but thousands.
EACH BEING, on its own, explains and proves its Creator with 55 TONGUES. And these 55 languages are not from millions of years ago, but today, here, before our very eyes: all flowers, fruits, vegetables, birds, insects, all animals, all human babies, atoms, electrons, quarks, the newly created stars that are coming into existence, attaining existence and life in the realm of beings—all of them, before our eyes, before our microscopes, before our telescopes, say ALLAH, and prove and show their CREATOR.
For this reason, the QUR’AN is a Sacred Book that contains the greatest scientific and natural truths. Dozens of verses invite people, with commands such as “Do you not see?”, “Do you not look?”, “Look!”, to examine and observe the marvelous works of art before their eyes, and in the end, to believe in the Supreme Artist.
Dozens of verses also invite people to consult their minds and reason, with phrases such as “Do you not reason?”, “Reflect”, “Take heed”, “Think”.
That is, the Qur’an and Islam, by calling to the science of reason and logic, to observation and witnessing, rest upon the most correct scientific methods, and regard it as very ugly that people deceive themselves with theories outside reason and logic.
10.. ASTROPHYSICS HAS ALSO DEFINITELY REFUTED AND THROWN AWAY THE STORY OF EVOLUTION:
In the 1930s, the Astronomy Genius Edwin Hubble, who discovered that galaxies are moving away from each other and therefore that the Universe is expanding, and afterwards many astrophysicists, discovered that the Universe was created with a great Explosion (Expansion) called the Big Bang… and as a result of many calculations and observations, it was accepted by the overwhelming majority of scientists that the Universe was brought into existence from “nothing” 13.7 billion years ago.
This discovery struck down and defeated Materialist Atheism, which claimed that matter is eternal and that it has always existed on its own from eternity. Because, if 14 billion years ago matter and the material universe did not exist, then there must be an Owner of Infinite Power who brought it into the realm of existence.
Since there is a Power who created the Universe, all galaxies, stars, planets and satellites, and who also created the Earth in the most perfect way with its seas and continents, its mountains and rivers…
What need could such a Being with Infinite Power have to consign the living beings on the Earth He created -plants, animals, humans- to chance or to nature? To leave their invention to what is called evolution, to self-formation, and not to be concerned at all with the most marvelous works of art?
Can there be anything more comical, more absurd, and more illogical than this claim?
Surely, the One who created the Universe, the One who created our Milky Way galaxy, can only be that very Being… The One who created the Solar System will be the One who created the Sun and the Earth…
The One who made the eye of the mosquito is the One who fixed the Sun into the heavens… The One who created the stomach of the flea is the One who created the Solar System…
Because everything is connected and in relationship with everything else.
11.. EVOLUTION AND ITS COMPATIBILITY WITH ISLAM:
Some evolutionists, in order to eliminate or lessen the objection of Muslims to evolution, say: “Evolution also happens by the will of Allah… even some old Islamic scholars have mentioned evolution.”
The thought that our Lord allows animals, over time, to evolve on their own -that is, an animal can emerge from another species- gives evolutionists the feeling that it could perhaps be the truth.
However, as was proven in the brochures and articles on Evolution of Scientific Zafer (Victory) Magazine 30–40 years ago, the passage of millions of years, that is, the length of time, cannot provide ease or possibility to coincidences even in one-in-a-billion probabilities.
In the Risale-i Nur (Treatises of Light), not only is there no mention of the possibility that Allah might create by transforming through evolution, but we also understand that “each species has its own Adam- first father”—that is, every Living Species possesses its own distinguishing mark (with its DNA, its appearance, form, and characteristics).
Modern Genetics and DNA science have also confirmed Bediüzzaman as being right. A corruption/mutation made in the program/code of the DNA spiral ends the reproductive ability of that living being… You can examine many articles on the internet about mutation.
12.. In numerous verses of the Holy Quran, our Lord shows various Animals and Fruits/Plants as examples/proofs for Divine Unity, and constantly draws attention to their aspects of being Blessings.
This shows that these Blessings and the Animals and Plants, which are Works of Art, are direct mirrors of Divine Unity that receive the manifestation of the Beautiful Names of God Almighty (Al-Asma al-Husna).
Even if 100 million or 1 billion years were to pass, a New Living Species would not appear on its own through some change by coincidence or by chance… because every Living Being is a Divine Miracle.
13.. BABIES AND EVOLUTION
O Evolutionists who go back 1 billion years in order to be able to deny a Creator!
Today 200,000 babies are born worldwide…
Please answer my following questions:
1.. Did their mothers design them / make the design inside their wombs and prepare their faces, eyes, and organs?
2.. The ones who made the fingerprints of these babies, their eye corneas, their voices, and their faces different (with distinctive marks) from all other babies and from the 8 billion people on Earth—were they their mothers, or themselves?
3.. The ones who carried out the design and construction of these babies with their physical and material bodily structures—were they their own cells and atoms?
4.. These 200,000 babies came into the world today as possessors of life and soul… Who is it that gave them this life? Lifeless chemical atoms? The cells in the mother’s womb? Or the mother herself?
We want “answers” to these questions…
In summary:
An evolutionist who believes that from lifeless atoms the first microbe, bacteria and plants came into being on their own by chance, would not believe that the St. Paul Cathedral in London could, as a result of millions of years of trials and coincidences, be constructed and built on its own from stones rolling down from the mountains…
An evolutionist who denies that the One and Only Allah, Whose Power and Knowledge are Infinite, created everything, every living being, and every existence, is compelled to grant and to believe that every particle, every atom and molecule possesses infinite knowledge and power and other divine attributes…
For, the shining drops of water on the Earth, the drops of water in the sea and the river, and pieces of glass reflect the heat, light, and image of the Sun in the sky…
But a person who denies that these manifestations and reflections come from a single Sun—that is, who denies the existence of the Sun—will be compelled to believe and to claim that within every drop of water and every piece of glass on Earth there is a separate sun… (thus resigning from reason, science, and knowledge).
In the same way, a person who denies and does not accept Allah, Who is the Eternal Sun of the Universe, will inevitably and necessarily be forced to regard all atoms, molecules, and cells as gods/divinities.
For in this matter there are two sides… there is no third side.
Faith in Allah is the requirement of science, reason, logic, and all human feelings…
The path of denial and atheism, however, renders man miserable and wretched in this world and in the Hereafter…

THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE TO EVOLUTION.
QUESTIONS EVOLUTIONISTS CANNOT EASILY ANSWER:
ORIGIN OF INFORMATION
▪ How did non-living matter produce information-rich DNA, RNA, and proteins?
▪ Information always comes from intelligence. What is the source of that intelligence in an evolutionary process based on chance and unconscious matter?
▪ How did the first functional genetic code arise without a prior coding system?
THE FIRST CELL PROBLEM
▪ How did the first cell’s walls, membranes, organelles, and systems arise by chance?
▪ Every cell consists of thousands of interdependent parts. Which came first?
▪ How did life begin without enzymes, DNA, proteins, or energy systems?
IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY
(COMPLEX SYSTEMS WHOSE PARTS ARE ALL INTERDEPENDENT)
▪ How did complex systems such as the eye, flagellum, blood-clotting system, or immune system evolve step by step?
▪ Can you show a fully functional molecule or system that has been proven to evolve in real time?
▪ If the removal of any essential part renders these systems completely useless, how did they evolve in the first place?
PROBLEMS WITH THE FOSSIL RECORD
▪ Why are transitional fossils between one species and another missing?
▪ Where are the fossils of partially formed organs or species “in the process” of evolving?
▪ Why did thousands of fully developed and complex life forms appear suddenly within a relatively short period during the Cambrian Explosion?
GENETIC LIMITATIONS
▪ Most mutations are harmful. How, then, do they generate new and functional information?
▪ Has any experiment ever demonstrated a mutation that adds genuinely new and beneficial genetic information?
▪ How do you explain the enormous information-storage capacity of DNA?
THE BIG QUESTION
■ How did all the complex, interdependent, information-rich, and purpose-driven systems of life arise from non-living matter through unguided and random processes?
EXPLANATORY POWER
▪ Evolution is a theory. What observable and repeatable evidence proves that it is a fact?
▪ On what evidence do you accept a materialistic worldview that rejects the supernatural?
▪ Why is evolutionary theory unable to explain the origin of the laws of nature, morality, or consciousness?
FINE-TUNING AND DESIGN
▪ The Universe and the Earth appear finely tuned for life. How did this happen by chance?
▪ Biological systems display efficiency, purpose, and order. Why do you reject the possibility of a Designer?
▪ How do you explain the origin of beauty, artistry in nature, meaning, and human reason?
OBSERVABLE LIMITS
▪ Variation within a species is not evolution. There are hundreds of breeds of sheep, yet they are all still sheep.
▪ Where is the scientific, observable, and experimental evidence of one species transforming into another?
▪ Why do species appear to encounter a genetic “wall” and fail to evolve into entirely new body plans?
▪ Why do we still observe the same basic animal kinds that existed millions of years ago?
MOLECULAR MACHINES
▪ How did molecular machines such as ribosomes, ATP synthase, or polymerases evolve step by step?
▪ These machines are extraordinarily complex and interdependent. Which one came first?
▪ Without them, proteins cannot be produced. So how did proteins exist in the first place?
TRANSITIONAL FORMS
▪ Can you provide a clear and documented example of one species transforming into another with a completely different body plan?
▪ Why are “transitional forms” continually debated or reclassified?
▪ Why do living organisms still reproduce only within their own kinds?
HUMAN ORIGIN
▪ How did humans acquire language, abstract thought, creativity, morality, and consciousness?
▪ Why is there no clear fossil evidence for the intermediate stages of human evolution?
▪ How did unconscious chemical processes produce conscious beings?
TIME AND PROBABILITY
▪ Even given billions of years, the probability of life arising by chance is astronomically low. How do you calculate that probability?
▪ What is the probability of a protein forming by chance? (Hint: virtually zero.)
▪ How does adding more time help something whose probability is already close to zero?
FINAL CHALLENGE
▪ If evolution is true, why can it not be clearly observed today?
▪ If you accept a Creator for the universe, why not for life as well?
▪ Is it not a simpler explanation that life was brought into existence by a Creator possessing infinite intelligence, knowledge, and power?
CONCLUSION
EVOLUTION IS A BELIEF. CREATION IS A FACT.
QUESTION EVERYTHING. SEEK THE TRUTH. FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE WHEREVER IT LEADS.
