WHY DOES THE FACT THAT THE EARTH IS FOUR BILLION YEARS OLD NOT SUPPORT THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION?

There are serious doubts concerning evolutionists' reason and judgement, as they believe that the living cell, which cannot be synthesised in the most modern laboratories with the most sophisticated technology, could have come about in primitive and uncontrolled natural conditions.
EVOLUTIONISTS base their scenarios on natural effects and chance. One of the concepts they most shelter behind while doing so is that of "considerable time." For instance, the German scientist Ernst Haeckel, who supported Darwin, claimed that a living cell could originate from simple mud. With the realisation in the twentieth century of how complex the living cell actually is, the silliness of that claim became apparent, but evolutionists continued to mask the truth with the "considerable time" concept.
By doing this, they are trying to free themselves from the problem by plunging it into a quandary instead of answering the question of how life could have come about by chance. By giving the impression that the passage of a long period of time could be useful from the point of view of the emergence of life and increase in variety, they present time as something that is always beneficial. For example, the Turkish evolutionist Professor Yaman Örs says: "If you want to test the theory of evolution, place an appropriate mixture into water, wait a few million years, and you will see that some cells emerge."1

This claim is utterly illogical. There is no evidence to suggest that such a thing could happen. The idea that animate matter could emerge from inanimate is actually a superstition dating back to the Middle Ages. At that time, people assumed that the sudden appearance of some living things was the result of "spontaneous generation." According to this belief, people considered that geese emerged from trees, lambs from watermelons, and even tadpoles from patches of water formed in clouds, falling to Earth as rain. In the 1600s, people began to believe that mice could be born in a mixture of wheat and a dirty piece of cloth, and that flies formed when dead flies were mixed with honey.
However, the Italian scientist Francesco Redi, proved that mice did not form in a mixture of wheat and a dirty piece of cloth, nor living flies from a mixture of dead flies and honey. These living things did not originate from those lifeless substances, they merely used them as vehicles. For example, a living fly would deposit its eggs on a dead one, and a short while later a number of new flies would emerge. In other words, life emerged from life, not inanimate matter. In the nineteenth century, French scientist Louis Pasteur proved that germs did not come from inanimate matter, too. This law, that "life only comes from life," is one of the bases of modern biology.
The fact that the peculiar claims we have been discussing above were actually believed may be excused on the grounds of the lack of knowledge of seventeenth century scientists, bearing in mind the conditions at the time. Nowadays, however, at a time when science and technology have progressed so far, and the fact that life cannot emerge from inanimate matter has been demonstrated by experiment and observation, it is really surprising that evolutionists such as Yaman Örs should still be defending such a claim.
Modern scientists have demonstrated many times that it is impossible for that claim to actually happen. They have carried out controlled experiments in the most advanced laboratories, reproducing the conditions at the time when life first emerged, but these have all been in vain.
When phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, oxygen, iron, and carbon atoms, which are all essential for life, are brought together, all that emerges is a mass of inanimate matter. Evolutionists, however, suggest that a mass of atoms came together and organised themselves, over time, in the ideal proportions, at the appropriate time and place, and with all the necessary links between them. They further claim that as a result of the perfect organization of these inanimate atoms, and the fact that all these processes went ahead undisturbed, there duly emerged human beings capable of seeing, hearing, speaking, feeling, laughing, rejoicing, suffering, feeling pain and joy, laughing, loving, feeling compassion, perceiving musical rhythms, enjoying food, founding civilisations, and carrying out scientific research.
However, it is perfectly clear that even if all the conditions evolutionists insist on are realised, and even if millions of years are allowed to pass, such an experiment will be doomed to failure.
Evolutionists try to conceal this fact, however, with deceptive explanations such as "All things are possible with time." The invalidity of this claim, which is based on introducing an element of bluff into science, is also obvious. This invalidity can be quite clearly seen when the subject is considered from different points of view. In one simple example, let us consider when the passing of time is useful, and when it is harmful. Imagine, if you will, a wooden boat on the seashore, and a captain who at first maintains that boat, repairing, cleaning, and painting it. As long as the captain takes an interest in it, the boat will become ever more attractive, safe, and well-maintained.
It is not possible for a car left all alone in natural conditions to turn into a more developed model with the passage of time. On the contrary, the bodywork will rust, the paint will fall off, the windows will break, and it will soon turn into a heap of scrap. The same inevitable process occurs even faster in organic molecules and living things.
Then let us imagine that the boat is left abandoned. This time, the effects of the sun, rain, wind, sand, and storms will cause the boat to decay, age, and eventually become unusable.
The only difference between these two scenarios is that in the former there is an intelligent, knowledgeable, and powerful intervention. The passing of time can only bring benefits with it when it is controlled by an intelligent force. If it is not, time has destructive effects, not constructive ones. In fact, this is a scientific law. The law of entropy, known as the "Second Law of Thermodynamics," states that all systems in the universe tend directly towards disorder, dispersion, and decay when left to themselves and to natural conditions.
This fact demonstrates that the long life of the Earth is a factor that destroys knowledge and order and increases chaos-the exact opposite of what evolutionists claim. The emergence of an ordered system based on knowledge can only be the product of an intelligent intervention.
When the proponents of evolution relate the fairy tale of the transformation of one species into another, they take refuge in the idea of it happening "over a long period of time." In that way, they propose that things somehow happened in the past which have never been confirmed by any experiment or observation. However, everything in the world and in the universe happens in accordance with fixed laws. These do not change over time. For example, things fall to Earth because of the force of gravity. They do not start to fall upwards with the passage of time. Neither will they do so even if trillions of years go by. Lizard offspring are always lizards. That is because the genetic information to be passed on is always that of a lizard, and no supplementary information can be added to it with natural causes. Information may diminish, or even decay, but it is quite impossible for anything to be added to it. That, in turn, is because the adding of information to a system requires knowledgeable and intelligent external intervention and control. Nature itself does not possess such properties.
Repetitions that occur over time, and the fact that they take place often, change nothing. Even if trillions of years are allowed to go by, a bird will never hatch out of a lizard's egg. A long lizard may, or a short one-a stronger one or a weaker one-but it will always be a lizard. A different species will never emerge. The concept of "a considerable time" is a deception designed to take the matter out of the realm of experiment and observation. It makes no difference whether 4 billion years go by, or 40, or even 400. That is because there is no natural law or tendency to make the impossibilities described in the theory of evolution actually possible.
1. Evrim Kurami Konferansi (Conference on the Theory of Evolution), Istanbul Universitesi Fen Fakultesi (University of Istanbul, Faculty of Economics), June 3, 1998Atlas of Creation in Flemish Schools - 29.06.2007
Belgium/Het Nieuwsblad
In its 29 June, 2007, edition Het Nieuwsblad, a Belgian daily published in Flemish, carried a report headed “Atlas of Creation Has Turned up in Flemish Schools.” The 200,000-circulation daily described Atlas of Creation as an “impressive book,” and went on to say:
… The striking Atlas of Creation has been sent to a series of Walloon schools and Flemish universities. The book belongs to the Turkish professor Adnan Oktar, who writes under the pen name Harun Yahya. In this book he questions the validity of the theory of evolution.
Islam, the Rising Standard in Russia / Daily Milliyet / 20.11.2006
This report describing how the number of believers in Islam and of Muslims fulfilling their religious obligations in Russia was increasing with every passing day provided the following information:
“Despite the international propaganda aimed at equating Islam with terrorism, especially in the wake of the September 11 attacks, the number of converts to Islam in Russia, one of the main centers of the Orthodox world, has risen in recent years. Muslims constitute some 20 million out of a Russian population of 144 million…The most striking aspect of this process is conversions being observed among Russians…There has also been a rise in the numbers of people from Muslim families who fulfill their religious obligations.”
MENE (Mene maculata) Age: 54 to 37 million years Period: Eocene Location: Monte Bolca, Italy

This species of fish, a member of the family Menidae, is most frequently found in the Pacific Ocean. Many fossils have been acquired of this vertebrate, dating back to the Cenozoic era (65 million years ago, down to the present). Fossils of the species Mene maculata from the Monte Bolca Formation in particular are important examples showing that these fish have never changed over millions of years.
Despite the presence of many fossils such as this, showing that mene fish have always remained the same, there are no fossils that show they are descended from other life forms, as evolutionists claim.
J. R. Norman, one of the administrators of the British Museum of Natural History, describes how Darwinists’ claims regarding the emergence of fish are not based on any evidence:
"The geological record has so far provided no evidence as to the origin of the fishes . . ." (J. R. Norman, "Classification and Pedigrees: Fossils," in A History of Fishes, 3rd ed., ed. Dr. P. H. Greenwood, London: British Museum of Natural History, 1975, p. 343)

AL-MU'AKHKHIR / AL-MUQADDEEM, (The Deferrer, The Keeper Behind The Advancer)
If Allah were to punish people for their wrong actions, not a single creature would be left upon Earth. But He defers them until a predetermined time. When their specified time arrives, they cannot delay it for a single hour or bring it forward. ( Surat an-Nahl, 61)
Allah leaves behind and brings forward whoever He wills. Being the sole Creator of everything, He has the power to do whatever He wills with anything that exists. He determines the time for every event and, as the actual master of every being and its destiny, predetermines the events of every being's life. When the specified time arrives, what has been ordained takes place, according to His will. Allah calls attention to this fact in the Qur'an, as follows:
Every nation has an appointed time. When their time comes, they cannot delay it a single hour or bring it forward. ( Surat al-A‘raf,34)
No one except Allah knows this appointed time. No leaf falls before its appointed time, and every moment of a living being's life, from its birth to its death, is subject to this divine timing. However, if Allah wills, He can delay or bring forward any event, for the human concept of time being divided into the past, present, and future does not apply to Him. As the Qur'an states:
Do not consider Allah to be unaware of what the wrongdoers perpetrate. He is merely deferring them to a Day on which their sight will be transfixed. ( Surat Ibrahim, 42)
No nation can advance its appointed time, nor can they delay it. ( Surat al-Hijr, 5)
This being the case, all sincere servants must strive to draw closer to Him, without considering what He has delayed or brought forward, and must be absolutely pleased with what He gives, for, as the verse maintains, “Man is prone to be impetuous...” ( Surat al-Isra', 11) We often expect something to take place or to be over at once. Yet, only Allah knows what is best for us and so ordains all events and situations accordingly. What a person thinks might be good may actually be harmful. Thus, a believer should be pleased with whatever Allah ordains.
Le Monde, which is one of the most read daily news papers in France, has made an interview with Mr.Adnan Oktar in Turkey. The interviewer draws attention to the fact that Mr.Adnan Oktar was very much spoken of in France in respect of his studies regarding the collapse of the evolution theory.
In the interview Mr.Adnan Oktar states that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th volumes of his book named Atlas of Creation are being translated into French. He has declared that the Atlas of Creation had very positive effects all over the Europe and that especially after the publication of this book, there has been great differences in between the statements of Mr.Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of France, given before and now. He states that Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy’s making statements about faith in Allah and giving enthusiastic statements about the love of Allah despite of the severe pressure of the Masonic lodges and the Freemasons, was only possible with the effect of this book.
Mr.Adnan Oktar, stating that there was a huge demand for the Atlas of Creation from the universities and academy lecturers of especially European universities, gives examples of the positive effects the book in England, along with France. He mentions that Mr.Tony Blain, the former President of England, who was before a socialist and Marxist, after the book had reached England, started to give very beautiful and sincere statements about faith in Allah.
Mr.Adnan Oktar states the fact that no one has anything left to be said in respect of Evolution after it has been proved by the fossils which are put forward that no evolution had occurred. He implies that the collapse of Darwinism is very clearly seen: “We asked the French people to bring any proofs they might have had to support the evolution theory so that we could display them in front of the Eifel tower, yet they could not come up with any.” Mr.Oktar continues his words: “ Darwin states that his theory could only be true if the transitional fossils are found, and we proved that there are no transitional fossils and thus confirmed what Darwin said: This means there is no evolution.”
In the other sections of the interview Mr.Adnan Oktar gives examples of his new books and their contents. In this part Mr.Adnan Oktar states that Jesus will definitely return and he adds that the return of Jesus will be one of the greatest events which would shock the whole world.

Darwinism: the Greatest Lie in History
The theory of evolution, which has been tried to be promoted everywhere as a scientific fact from the textbooks to the scientific publications for 150 years, is actually based on extremely rotten foundations. The evolutionists gave up proving their theory, however, they began to search for ways to keep the theory alive through propaganda, demagogy and eyewash methods. Their aims are not to defend a scientific fact, but to try to keep the so-called scientific fallacy alive in the cause of continuing their materialistic and atheist world view.
THE MIRACLE OF TALKING BIRDS
Some bird species have a talent rarely found in any other creature except man. The best example of this are parrots, which can imitate, in addition to human speech, a wide range of sounds that even humans can’t duplicate convincingly—for example, as the creaking of a door, the cap being removed from a bottle, a ringing telephone, or a tune being whistled. This talent to imitate, observable in parrots and some other bird species, is not an ability that can be acquired by coincidence. All the wondrous characteristics of birds that can imitate sounds are just part of the evidence God shows to man so we may witness the magnificence of His creation. In this book you will discover that talking birds use a frequency modulation (FM) system, the working system of the AM radios found in nearly all homes, that birds’ sound recognition capacity is some 10 times greater than that of humans, that birds can distinguish 10 different notes and many other astonishing facts. You will see that the way these creatures are equipped with the ability to speak and imitate sounds is one of the countless miracles of creation, and at the same time witness how that ability completely undermines the theory of evolution.

WHAT DARWINISTS NEVER REALIZE
1-Darwinists never realize that lifeless, unconscious assemblies of atoms can never, and by chance, give rise to the Earth, the planets, the Solar System, flowers, fruits, trees and the human beings who live in complete harmony with them.
2-Darwinists never realize that these words This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man, with his capacity of looking far backward and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity. actually belong to Charles Darwin, the founder of the theory of evolution. (Robert B. Downs, Books that Changed the World, New York, Signet Classic, 2004, p. 285)
3-Darwinists never realize that the motions in space of the many planets, large and small, existing in the universe is of critical importance, that their positions and movements in space are not haphazard and that all the balances in the universe have been flawlessly created by Allah.
4-Darwinists never realize that bacteria, too small to be seen with the naked eye, have mechanisms on their surfaces that emit and perceive electrical signals, and that thanks to these mechanisms they transmit information to one another, nor that it is impossible for such behavior, requiring a mind and intelligence, to have come into being by chance.
5-Darwinists never realize that the human body has a perfect system requiring 54 muscles in the foot and back to work together simultaneously in order to take even a single step.
![](https://www.harunyahya.info/folder/Image/en_ramazan/ciceko.jpg)
6-Darwinists never realize that the air we breathe contains many harmful substances and germs, but that we are protected against most of them thanks to the micro-hairs in our nasal passages.
7-Darwinists never realize how it is that while they sleep they see a sky radiant with the brightness of the Suns rays, how they are chilled and dampened by the rain, how they smell the enchanting fragrance of a rose and eat the most delicious foods they can never have enough of inside a 1300-1400 nerve node inside the darkness of the brain.
8-Darwinists never realize that it is impossible for the reptile lung, with its two-way passage of air, to evolve into the bird lung with its one-way flow, because there can be no intermediate model between the two, and that such a thing would result in death, and that a creature whose lungs do not function fully, in other words a creature that cannot breathe, cannot survive for longer than a few minutes.
9-In claiming that that the reptile jaw and ear gradually turned into the mammal jaw and ear, Darwinists never realize that there is no answer to the question of how this came about, nor, in particular, that it is impossible for an ear consisting of a single bone to turn into one consisting of three bones, and for the sense of hearing to be preserved in the process.
10-Darwinists never realize that the variations they have regarded as evidence of evolution for half a century or so have in fact nothing to do with the origin of species, and how, for instance, although different breeds of cattle can be obtained by different combinations breeding over millions of years, cattle will still never turn into another species, such as giraffes or elephants.
