Who Stole the Million?
Employee: Congratulations
on the new office, sir!
Manager: But I'm not happy...
Employee: Not happy?!
Why aren't you happy?
Manager: I feel that this vault
contained one million dinars
Employee: One million dinars!
Where did a million dinars come from?!
Manager: They were here; I'm sure
Employee: Then how did they disappear?
Manager: Riyad stole them
Employee: Riyad?!
Manager: Yes!
Employee: Riyad is a good employee.
Can't you think of anyone else?
Is there any evidence against him?
Manager: As soon as I felt
something was wrong
I automatically locked the company doors.
Then, I called Riyad
in here and searched him.
I found a piaster in his shirt
pocket, and this is its picture!
Employee: A piaster, sir? This is clearly
a coffee stain, not a piaster!
Manager: Look! I searched his
pant's pocket and found a shilling.
I assure you it's Riyad
and no one else.
Employee: A shilling?!
There are many possible explanations.
Maybe it was there before
Why did you assume it was stolen?
Manager: You just want
to defend him!
But, I am sure he did it!
I am not accusing him without evidence.
I searched the other pocket
and found another ten piasters in it.
I searched him thoroughly!
Employee: What shilling
and what ten piasters, sir?
We're talking about 1 million dinars!
Where did they all disappear?!
Manager: In the future
more will be discovered
Maybe Riyad swallowed
the million dinars!
With the same logic
the evolution myth disciples
claim that a fossil here or there
belongs to transitional forms;
which proves their evolution
through random mutations
and blind natural selection
They say:
"The theory of evolution
necessitates the existence
of transitional fossils"
i.e. intermediate forms
between different species
"and scientists have actually
discovered such transitional fossils."
Then they hypothesize
about their age
as in this clip with Richard Dawkins:
"People often say,
'Where are the intermediate fossils?
Show us your intermediate fossils!
There are plenty of intermediate fossils
and one of the best examples is whales.'"
Let's set aside the fabrications
and misinterpretations
concerning these fossils
(listed in the comments)
Let us also skip the fact that what he
refers to are not fossils —as he claims—
but imaginations
woven around fossil fragments
More importantly, these people evade
the necessary consequence of the myth:
The myth doesn't require
some transitional forms
or an occasional intermediary link
It requires INNUMERABLE forms!!
Quantity, not just quality!
Let us explain...
Many Darwinians affirm
that mankind evolved from fish
You'll find —on their websites—
a diagram such as this
showing the evolution
of fish into humans
Let's take two organisms from
this purported evolutionary lineage:
A mouse-like organism evolving
into a monkey-like organism
What is required for
such an evolution to take place?
In the episode:
"Address Them as Children"
we showed the foolishness of the idea
that random mutations can produce
a small change in an organism
such as the elongation
of a giraffe's neck
especially when we take into consideration
the complex changes needed
in the internal body systems
and the required genetic modifications
It is not a silly game
of reshaping playdough
as the myth disciples make it seem
In this episode, we'll follow
the liar right to his door
and assume that it is as
simple as reshaping playdough
What does this 'playdough'
transformation require?
Each point on the arrow connecting these
two animals represents a transitional form
The points are many because
they represent small, slow, gradual changes;
according to the myth disciples
Each millimeter on the line represents
a step in the slow and gradual elongation
of the mouse's limbs
and its tail
and the subtle changes
of its head dimensions
Over hundreds of millions of years
and passing through
countless transitional forms
the mouse turns into a monkey!
Therefore, the mouse and the monkey
must —supposedly— be submerged
in a sea of transitional forms
Where are these countless
transitional forms?
Nowhere to be found
on the face of the Earth!
Fine, let's overlook that
and search beneath the ground
Where are these innumerable
forms in the fossil record?!
The reality of the fossil record is that
it has a very large number of fossils;
but for the distinct organisms
living today; looking the same!
There are only a few ambiguous fossils
which the myth disciples cling to;
claiming that they are transitional forms
Therefore, representing a fossil here
or there as an 'intermediate form'
is more absurd than
considering a piaster and a shilling
evidence for a million dinar theft!
How about when 'true' science
falsifies these claims —one by one—
as in the examples of the episode:
"For the Sake of the Myth"?
So the piasters and shillings
were forgeries and fakes
Darwin realized this
and stated that his myth
necessitates countless numbers
of transitional fossils
Countless!
Or, in his own words:
"countless numbers, innumerable"
He expressed annoyance
at their absence
but counted on the completion
of the fossil record in the future
Just like the manager who counted
on the possibility that Riyad swallowed
the million dinars
There are so many fossils
of known organisms
But they contain nothing
of what Darwin imagined;
as they should be submerged
in oceans of transitional organisms
Still, he relies on future discoveries
to validate his myth
A century and a half after Darwin's
hopes and dreams, with fossils of more
than 100,000 species discovered;
the absence of innumerable transitional
forms is even more
than it was in Darwin's day
as in this article, which somehow
made its way to the New York Times
With that, we have shown you
what we mean when we say
that one of the methods
the myth disciples use
is evasion of the necessary consequences
of their own myth
But wait a minute!
There is a very important issue:
Everything we said is
about the transformation
of one organism into another;
according to a specific plan
i.e. we want to move
from point A to point B
However, Darwin asserts, in his book:
"The Origin of Species"
that there is no plan of creation
and his followers confirm this
No plan of creation,
no purpose, no design!
They loathe these phrases
They have a phobia about them
to the extent that they
changed the term 'adaptation'
to a made-up term 'exaptation'
—just like their fictional organisms—
simply because 'adaptation' implies
intentionality; which they oppose
as discussed in the episode:
"Citrate-Utilizing Bacteria"
What does 'no plan of creation' mean?
First: imagine we have a circle
which we want to transform
into a square using a specific plan
What does it take to
transform it gradually?
Each new shape you see
represents a transitional phase
that is slightly different
from the previous one
The big shape in the center
is an enlarged image of the stage
reached at each point in time
Thus, the circle changes slowly;
with corners appearing gradually
Then, these corners slowly
become pointed
The circle circumference progressively
transforms into straight sides
until, ultimately, we get a square
Now, imagine what would happen
if the circle changed randomly
without a plan or intention
What would happen then?
Random shapes would pop up
in every direction.
Some of these shapes will become
extinct by natural selection
while others would continue
to change randomly; in every direction
What about the square?
What square?
There was no intention to transform
the circle into a square to begin with!
Perhaps one day
one of the random shapes that survives
will turn into a square
But, only after
an unimaginable number of chaotic
purposeless shapes have formed;
a percentage of which
would be preserved in the fossil record
The required changes (previously mentioned)
to turn a mouse into a monkey
are intentional changes
within a plan
like the intentional changes we made
to turn the circle into a square
Since the myth disciples assume no plan
it is deceptive of them to draw a line
from one organism to another to
delude people that the only requirement is
to find the transitional forms in between
Just like we did with the circle
which we PLANNED to convert into a square
In fact, according to their myth
the organism is like
a blind person asked to move!
Move where?
North, South, East, or West?!
Up in the air
or down into the ground?!
Just move!
Without any guidance
our blind friend moves in all directions
A group of mice transforms
into various chaotic forms;
some of which become extinct
while others transform without guidance
or a plan
and maybe one day
one turns into a monkey
after countless messy
purposeless forms
fill the earth, air, land, and sea!
The myth fanatics say:
"No plan of creation!"
Yet
at the same time
their scenarios depend
on the existence of such a plan!
They draw a line between two organisms
while their randomness is more like
a nuclear fission
than a straight line
Therefore, dear viewers
the terms used by the myth disciples
such as: 'intermediate organisms'
and 'transitional forms'
are misleading because
'intermediate' implies a middle point
between two definite points
and 'transitional' implies
a step on the way to a specific goal
whereas the myth actually
requires countless numbers
of random forms of organisms
—such as mice—
to change without any guidance;
in all directions
before they transform by chance
—in the manner of playdough—
to the hypothetical evolved form!
All this complexity
involves just two species
of the more than
eight million estimated species
which Darwin believed
came from a common ancestor
Dear viewers, let's review
the obscurity of the myth and
the deceptions of
the pseudoscience zealots
that we discussed in the previous
and today's episode:
Treating organisms as playdough
or photoshop images
disregarding the organisms'
internal systems
and genetic code
Overlooking the absence of signs for
random chaotic changes
in the organisms on Earth
which drove them —unjustifiably—
from above ground to underground;
to the fossils
Drawing transformation lines
for the evolution of organisms
while they deny a plan of creation
Considering the piaster and the shilling
(i.e. the fossils)
as evidence for the theft
of a million dinars;
ignoring
the huge number of fossils
of distinct organisms
known and existing to this day
and, on the other hand
the absence of
immeasurably larger numbers
of transitional fossils which
their myth requires
The crowning touch is that
their piasters and shillings
(i.e. the fossils they cling to)
are counterfeit or misinterpreted!
When you realize this, dear viewers
you will burst out laughing
when you hear one of them saying:
"The discovery of this and
that transitional fossil
proves the evolution of reptiles
into birds. Case closed!"
What a comedy of ignorance
or deliberate omission!
You'll also laugh
as they celebrate the discovery
of any fossil and ignore
the nonsense they weave around it
Once you understand this
you'll realize the depth
of their compounded
ignorance and deception
You'll understand the meaning
of Allah Almighty’s words,
that can be translated as:
"..Darkness upon darkness!
If one stretches out their hand,
they can hardly see it.
And whoever Allah
does not bless with light
will have no light!" (Quran 24:40)
Our episode was about evading
the necessary consequences of the myth
A piece of advice:
Whenever anyone
proposes an idea to you
examine the idea's
necessary consequences
What are its inevitable results;
before this person spins
a misleading web and
and confuses you with the details
Let's see how Richard spun
his misleading web
then led us down a rabbit hole
"People often say where are
the intermediate fossils?
Show us your intermediate fossils!
There are plenty of intermediate fossils,
and one of the best examples is whales."
Then he loses us in the details,
terminology, and the millions of years
which must have passed:
"The modern whales are up there;
here is a series of fossils, back in
time; about 36 million years ago,
...Rodhocetus about 47.5 million years,
Pakicetus about 48.5 million years."
Now, let us slow down the video
to catch him in the act;
to pinpoint the moment of deception!
"People often say where are
the intermediate fossils?
Show us your intermediate fossils!
There are plenty of intermediate fossils,
and one of the best examples is whales."
Wait, Richard!
Before you start telling us
about your fake piasters (fossils)
tell us who stole the million dinars
(the transitional forms)!
Thus far, we've discussed:
Mixing myth with facts
Dazzling you into letting them
do the thinking for you
Addressing people as children
Evading the necessary
consequences of the myth
May the Peace of Allah be upon you!
