Appendix 31
Evolution: Divinely Controlled
We learn from the Quran that evolution
is a divinely designed fact:
Life began in water: “From water we initiated all living things.” (21:30, 24:45) |
Humans not descendants of monkeys: “He
started the creation of man from mud.”
(32:7) |
Man created from “aged” mud:
“I am creating
the human being from `aged’ clay.” (15:28) |
Evolution is possible
only
within
a
given
species.
For
example,
the
navel
orange evolved from seeded oranges,
not from apples.
The laws of probability preclude the possibility of haphazard
evolution between species. A fish cannot evolve into a bird; a monkey can never evolve into a human.
Probability Laws Preclude Darwin’s Evolution
In this computer
age, we have mathematical laws that tell us whether
a certain event is probable or not. If we throw five numbered
cubes up in the air and let them
fall into a guided straight
line, the probability laws tell us the number of possible combinations we can get: 1x2x3x4x5=120 combinations. Thus, the probability of obtaining any
combination is 1 in 120, or 1/120,
or 0.0086. This probability diminishes fast when we increase
the number of cubes. If we increase them by one, the number
of combinations becomes
1x2x3x4x5x6=720, and the probability of getting any combination diminishes to 1/720, 0.0014. Mathematicians, who are very exacting
scientists, have agreed that the probability diminishes
to “Zero” when we increase the number of cubes to 84. If we
work with 84 cubes, the probability diminishes to 209x10-50, or 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000209.
Darwin’s famous
statement that “life
began as a `simple’ cell”
is laughable. As recently as 50 years ago, Wells, Huxley, and Wells wrote in their classic
textbook that “nothing can be seen inside the nucleus but clear fluid.”
We know now that the
cell, is an extremely complex
unit, with billions
of nucleotides in the gene material inside the nucleus,
and millions of biochemical reactions. The probability laws tell
us that the probability of the haphazard
creation of the exacting sequences
of nucleotides into DNA is Zero, many times over.
We are not talking about 84
nucleotides; we are talking about
billions of nucleotides that must be arranged in a
specific sequence.
Some evolutionists have stated that the human
gene and the monkey’s gene are 90%
similar. However, even if the similarity was 99%, we are still talking about 300,000,000 nucleotides that must be haphazardly re-arranged to change the monkey into a human. The probability laws preclude this as an utter impossibility. The human gene contains 30,000,000,000 nucleotides; 1% of that is 300,000,000.
A fitting
quote here is that of Professor Edwin Conklin; he stated:
The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the
