DARWIN’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Charles Darwin proposed that man is a more advanced species that has emerged from other animals. From a logical and scientific point of view, this is highly absurd and baseless because man is extraordinarily different from animals. Nevertheless, if this is the case, how could it be that an amoeba’s mind kept progressing till it finally transformed into a human mind? It is so implausible that Darwin himself was bewildered by his theory. In his diary in April 1881, he wrote:

original + quoteOriginal text with a quotation or mention inside it

“Can the mind of man, which has, as I fully believe, been developed from a mind as low as that possessed by the lowest animal, be trusted when it draws such a grand conclusion?... I cannot pretend to throw the least light on such abstruse problems.”

The fact is that explaining life and the universe is an inconceivably big issue, and no human being, with his limited lifespan and limited abilities, is capable of doing this. Because of this, anyone who attempted to perform this task always fell victim to a feeling of utter helplessness, irrespective of whether or not he openly acknowledged it. This phenomenon proves that a mind vastly superior to the human mind is required to explain the reality of life and the universe. This is a work only God can do. And God has done this through His Messengers. This is evidence that proves the necessity of prophetic guidance.

The realization of God is the essence of religion. Without maarifah, religion is reduced to a spiritless form.
