All Roads Lead to the Myth: Recycling the Theory of Evolution
Let's start with the fifth fort on
our way to the cornerstone of the theory
So, you yourselves
have just demolished your fourth fort:
The fort of slow change
which you talked about ad nauseam
Whenever we asked:
"Why hasn't any evolution happened
in the known history of mankind?
You would answer:
"Evolution is too slow;
it takes hundreds of thousands
or even millions of years."
So, is there nepotism
in the world of evolution?
Are there organisms that remain
as is; and do not evolve
for hundreds of millions of years?
By the way, this theory is good news for
the aviation fans among the myth disciples
If you own a car showroom, and
a hurricane is expected to hit the city
leave your cars in the parking lot
You may wake up the next day
to find
that, at least one of them
has suddenly turned into a plane
They even ridicule each other,
mock each other,
disagree, and establish
their own evolutionary doctrine;
the most recent of which is
"The Third Way of Evolution"
by a group of leading evolutionists
A quick word here to those who want
to reconcile Revelation with evolution:
Which of these different doctrines
do you want to reconcile revelation with?
Today, we discussed
the 12th technique of deception
used by the myth disciples:
Remodeling theories to resuscitate them
even after all their pillars collapse;
just like made-to-order idols
fashioned by the people of Jahiliyah
(pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance)
Why are you upset?
My neighborhood is conspiring against me
Really?
Why do you say that?
Look, Samer and Tamer are at home
so Safwan and Adnan must be with them
The four of them only meet
to conspire against me
Especially lately;
after the quarrels I had with them
and this deceitful guy, Safwan
always incites them against me
Actually, I would like to call
this 'fact': "The Conspiracy Theory"!
The Conspiracy Theory?
Okay, come and have a look
Adnan and Safwan
are walking in the street
If your theory is correct
the four of them would be together
Okay, but Samer and Tamer
are in the house; I can see them
They are whispering
and they have a paper
They must be plotting something
and writing the plan
on paper to remember it
Brother, you claim that
they are conspiring against you
because the four of them are together
but I proved to you
that they are not together
Yes, that's because you don’t know.
The theory has just been modified
It has become:
"The Bisected Conspiracy Theory"!
The Bisected Conspiracy Theory
because two of them write the plan
while the other two
execute it on the street
Alright, wait!
Where are you going?
Wait a minute
Where are you going?
Come here!
Wait!
This is the paper that the neighbors had
It's the timetable for the World Cup!
Come on man!
This is just camouflage!
The thing is, I knew that
they would resort to camouflage
In fact, my theory
has just been modified
to become: "The Bisected
Camouflaged Conspiracy Theory"
*You know nothing about this theory
yet, you're arguing with me;
you ignoramus!?
With such arguments, can we ever
disprove our friend's theory?
Certainly not!
Because, with his constant modifications
he's made it unfalsifiable!
The Book of Allah:
the origin of beneficial knowledge
came with prophecies
that have been validated
It also presents falsification criteria
and challenges people
to meet them
if they want to prove that
the Quran is not from Allah:
“...then bring a single Surah of its like,
and call your witnesses apart from Allah
if you are truthful.”
(Quran Translated Meaning 2:23)
“... Had it been from anyone
other than Allah,
they would have certainly found
in it many inconsistencies.” (QTM 4:82)
So, prove any inconsistency in the Quran
or bring a Surah of its like
A test that anyone
—practically anyone— can try
and many other tests
set by the Quran
However, in the world of myths
predictions fail; one after the other
as we saw
—in "Darwin's Gobbledygook"—
with Darwin's prediction of
innumerable transitional forms
and as we saw in his followers’
predictions on beneficial mutations
and the prediction that we would
be able to create life in the lab, etc.
This led his followers to deport their
predictions to the edge of the universe
and even beyond
(as we saw)
to make it impossible to test them!
One question remains open:
Is there any falsification criteria
which, if realized, would make
the theory's followers
admit that it's invalid?
Because falsification tests
do not only disprove parts of a theory;
but also demolish its pillars
and empty it of all content
Let's see!
As we proceed
please keep in mind
our friend and the continuous
modifications of his conspiracy theory
Darwin's delusions
(which have turned into a theory):
A primitive organism
evolved through Random Changes
and Blind Natural Selection
Gradually
Slowly
evolving through
Innumerable Transitional Forms
to produce all the living organisms
that we see today
Dear viewers
remember these five pillars
that are the same pillars
of Neo-Darwinism
or the Modern Synthesis Theory;
in its first form
Let's start with the fifth fort on our way
to the cornerstone of the theory:
Innumerable transitional forms
Let's set aside the miserable stories
of fossil forgeries and misinterpretations
The bottom line is that
Darwin's followers agree with us
that they did not find innumerable
transitional forms in the Earth's layers
Even the leading evolutionist
Stephen Gould
in his book
"The Panda's Thumb", states:
"*The history of most fossil species
includes two features
particularly inconsistent
with gradualism:
1. Stasis...
2. Sudden appearance
In any local area
a species does not arise gradually
by the steady transformation
of its ancestors;
it appears all at once
and 'fully formed."
Gould tried to provide
explanations, as we will see
There are also similar testimonies
from the evolutionist Professor
of natural history, Keith Thompson,
as well as Robert Carroll, and others
Such admissions are ignored
by the myth's leading promoters
Thus, the fifth fort has fallen:
The fort of
innumerable transitional forms
Are you now convinced
of the invalidity of the theory?
They'll answer:
We'd rather modify the theory
to accommodate the fact
that the innumerable transitional forms
prediction has not materialized
Our modification states
that evolution happens rapidly at times;
to produce new species
which remain without
evolving for millions of years
That's why the fossil record can't keep up
with the resulting transitional forms
from tachytelic evolution
We call this modified theory
(at the level of families of organisms)
Quantum evolution!
We also made another modification
at the level of species
which we call:
Punctuated equilibrium
or punctuated evolution
So, on the contrary
sudden appearance of species
without transitional forms
is one of the pillars
of our modified theory!
You know nothing about this theory
yet you argue with us; you ignoramus!?
Wait a minute!
Tachytelic evolution?
So, you yourselves have just
demolished your fourth fort:
The fort of slow change
which you talked about ad nauseam
Whenever we asked:
"Why hasn't any evolution happened
in the known history of mankind?"
You'd say: "Evolution is too slow
It takes hundreds of thousands
or even millions of years!
So pray enlighten us:
Is evolution very rapid or very slow?
They'll answer: At times it's rapid
which we call: Tachytelic evolution
At other times it is slow
which we call: Bradytelic evolution
We are not asking you
about your invented names
“These are nothing but names which
you have named …” (QTM 53:23)
We are asking you about the facts
Is there nepotism
in the world of evolution as well?
We have fossils of organisms
whose age you estimate in millions
or even hundreds of millions of years;
yet, they are as they are now;
why have they not evolved?
(Adnan Ibrahim)
"Then they say:
Here are the ants.
They are millions of years old
as confirmed by evolution scientists.
They found ants in amber
...ants from millions...of years ago!
Why have they not evolved?
Why would they evolve?
Who said that they have to evolve?
Who said that there
is a unified pace of evolution
for all organisms?
Incorrect!
Modern synthesis states that evolution
doesn't happen at a unified speed;
so they are totally aware of that!"
It seems like you don't know
My theory is that
half of my neighbors write the plan
while the other half
execute it out on the street
I am totally aware of this.
Fossils of a certain species of
fern were discovered
and they estimated their age
to be at least 180 million years
They analyzed the genetic material
and found that it has remained as is;
it did not change
as published in Science
So, is there nepotism
in the world of evolution too?
Are there organisms that remain
as is and do not evolve
for hundreds of millions of years?
Yet, you want to convince us
that environmental conditions
caused the other organisms
in the same region
to evolve very rapidly
just like a junior employee
gets promoted suddenly?
Don't you claim that genetics
is the strongest evidence for evolution?
Well, genetics tells us
—as discussed in Episode 33—
that the differences between organisms
(who supposedly evolved from each other)
are in tens or hundreds of millions
of letters at the genetic code level
You tried for a long time
to convince us that random mechanisms
such as mutations,
chromosomal hybridization,
retroviruses,
and jumping genes,
can cause these changes; if given
millions and hundreds of millions of years
How did these alleged millions
suddenly shrink to thousands?
What's important is that the
'slow change' fort has collapsed
Let's move on to the third fort:
The fort of Gradualism
Genetics and physiology
refute the idea of gradualism
In "Address Them as Children"
we showed that
even for a slight modification
to occur in the same organism
such as the elongation
of the giraffe's neck
many changes
must happen together; all at once
This elongation
requires the enlargement of the heart,
the placement of
special valves in blood vessels,
the rete mirabile special design,
and the thick skin of the lower limbs
of the giraffe
The occurrence
of any of these before the others
would result in disharmony
and an organism that is unfit to survive
For instance, if the giraffe's heart
enlarged before the other mechanisms
and before the elongation of its neck;
its vessels would explode
And, if the neck elongated first
the blood would not reach the brain
All of this is only
at the level of the cardiovascular system
Let alone the other changes
needed in other systems:
Digestive, respiratory,
nervous, muscular,
skeletal, neck vertebrae, etc.
It is necessary for the changes to occur
in all these systems simultaneously
Similarly, all other biological systems
are based on irreducible complexity
Therefore, there is no room
for accumulated change
because we are not talking about
adding Lego pieces successively;
but about living organisms
whose organs and systems
must be fully integrated
and work harmoniously
To simplify, imagine that we are required
to change the word
"AN-l-MA-L" into "H-U-MA-N"
If the changes are gradual
the first change might produce
the word "H-I-MA-L"
the second "H-U-MA-L"
and the third "H-U-MA-N"
The words "H-I-MA-L" and "H-U-MA-L"
are meaningless in the world of biology
Such beings do not exist;
they are unfit for survival
or reproduction
Therefore, we can never get
to a human through them
and there is no way for gradualism
in the purported evolutionary change
from one organism to another
So, did the myth's followers
admit its invalidity?
No! Instead, they said:
"We will modify our theory
to say that a large number
of mutations may occur
to produce one kind of organism
from another at once
without the need for gradualism
This explains the absence
of transitional forms in the fossil record
We will call this modified theory:
Macromutation
or Saltation
which is yet another form of evolution:
random changes
and blind natural selection."
So, tens of millions of the specific
necessary genetic code letters
change randomly all at once
That is, if we represent
the genetic material of an organism
with Word documents that are open
on tens of thousands of computers;
where each document
represents a specific gene;
and all need to cooperate
to form the body of a single organism
The mutations are just like the
babies' strikes on the keyboards
as in the episode:
"Address Them as Children"
The babies
—according to this theory—
hit a great number of keys;
synchronously
which added meaningful paragraphs,
erased lines, and changed letters;
without making any mistakes in the
rest of the paragraphs in the documents
All of this is random and coincidental!
And they call this science!
By the way, this theory is good news
for aviation fans among the myth disciples
If you own a car showroom, and
a hurricane is expected to hit the city
leave your cars in the parking lot;
as you may wake up the next day
to find at least one of them
has turned into a plane; all at once
via random simultaneous changes
(if we follow your friends' illusions)
Especially since 'evolution'
no longer requires millions of years
but can happen all at once;
as they claim
Thus, the idea of slow evolution
has completely collapsed because
'evolution' no longer needs thousands
or millions of years; it just happens!
More importantly, the third fort
of gradualism has collapsed!
Of course, dear viewers
when we say that the myth's followers
modified one theory to another
and that we tell them this,
and they answer us that
we don't mean to say
that they're all on the same page
or deny that they disagree
with each other
as some remain committed
to gradualism, while others deny it
Additionally, the idea of saltation
or macromutation was mocked
and strongly rejected for a while
until a number of evolutionists
came back in support of it
They even ridicule each other
and mock each other
and to be honest
all of them are right to mock!
Moreover, the supporters
of bradytelic evolution describe
tachytelic evolution as:
"evolution by jerks"
and
tachytelic evolution supporters
respond that bradytelic evolution
is an "evolution by creeps"
It's enough, in order
to see how miserable they are
to look at the criticism section
on this Wikipedia page
on punctuated evolution
More serious verbal attacks are found
in the speeches of the participants
in the 2016 "New trends in evolutionary
biology conference"
They describe the dogmatic hostility
they face
from the followers of the "traditional
theoretical edifice", as they call it
They even split from each other to
establish their own evolutionary doctrines
One such recent doctrine is:
The Third Way of Evolution
whose members include
a group of leading evolutionists
Yes, they do differ and greatly
BUT... they all agree that
the myth must persist; one way or another
Just like the people of the Jahiliyah
who worshipped idols, disagreed;
with some creating their own idol
to worship and crediting everything to it
Some worshipped Hubal
Others worshipped Al-Uzza, Al-Lat, Manat,
Dat-Al-Shara, Isaf, or Na'ila
They even fought about their gods
But they all agreed
on the myth of polytheism
Likewise, the evolution myth disciples
create their own modifications:
their own idol
for the myth of evolution
then they give it credit
for their existence
as well as the existence of all beings
So they have the different
forms of evolution:
Convergent evolution,
divergent evolution,
parallel evolution,
gradual evolution,
quantum evolution,
punctuated evolution,
macromutational evolution,
saltational evolution,
extended evolution,
co-evolution...
And the idol-creation continues...
The important thing
is to retain the word "Evolution"
to deny creation with intent,
wisdom, and will
Here, we say to those who want
to reconcile Revelation with evolution:
Which of these types do you
want to reconcile Revelation with?
Especially when many of them
contradict each other
For those who say:
"Which Islam do you want us to follow?
The solution is to abandon religion
altogether and resort to science!"
—as if this alleged science
is an issue of common agreement
let alone the fact
that it is pseudoscience
and that Islam
and real science never contradict—
We say: Which science
do you want us to follow?
Gradual evolution,
or punctuated evolution,
or extended evolution?
Which one exactly?
Let's go back to the
forts of the evolution theory
Which are left standing?
Three forts have collapsed and two remain
Now we are approaching
the cornerstone of the theory
However, dear viewers
in order not to keep you long
we'll postpone the discussion
on these 2 forts for next episode
which is a very important
and crucial episode, full of surprises
Finally, we return to the question
with which we started our episode:
So, myth followers;
is there any phenomenon or fact
which might make you one day
admit the invalidity of your theory?
Today, dear viewers
we discussed the twelfth technique
of deception used by the myths' disciples
which is forming theories
that can be modified
even if all their pillars collapse
just like the made-to-order idols
fashioned by the people of Jahiliyah
May the Peace and Mercy of Allah
be upon you
