Employee: Congratulations on your new office, sir, the manager! Manager: But I'm not happy. Employee: Not happy?! Why aren't you happy?! Manager: I feel that this safe had a million dinars in it. Employee: A million dinars?! Where did the million dinars come from? Manager: They came, I am sure. Employee: Okay, where did they go? Manager: Riad stole them. Employee: Riad?! Manager: Yes. Employee: Riad is a respected employee, haven't you found anyone else? Do you have evidence against him? Manager: As soon as I felt the matter, I locked the company's doors electronically. I called Riad here and searched him. I found a coin in his shirt pocket, and here is his picture. Employee: A coin, sir?! That's a clear coffee stain, not a coin. Manager: I searched him, I searched his pants pocket and found a shilling in it, I tell you Riad has nothing else. Employee: A shilling?! There could be more than one explanation, maybe he was carrying it from the beginning, why did you judge that it was stolen? Manager: You just want to defend him any way, and I am sure I do not accuse him without evidence. I searched his second pants pocket and found ten coins in it, I tell you he is a thief. Employee: Ten coins and a shilling, sir?! Where will the million dinars go?! Manager: In the future, more will be discovered. Maybe Riad swallowed the million!
With this logic, followers of the myth of evolution speak of a fossil here or there as if it were of transitional creatures that prove their evolution through random mutations and blind natural selection. They say to you: The theory of evolution requires that there be fossils of transitional creatures, meaning intermediate links between different species, and scientists have actually discovered so and so from fossils of transitional creatures. And they sit and explain to you how many millions of years ago they were found according to their claim, as in this excerpt from Richard Dawkins.
Let us now leave the forgery and misinterpretation of these fossils to which (Dawkins) refers, as we will explain in the comments, and let us leave the fact that what he refers to is not fossils as he claims, but their imaginations that we weave on fossils.
The most important thing is that they have evaded the matter that necessarily follows from the myth. The myth does not require there to be some transitional creatures or intermediate links so simply, but it requires an innumerable number of these creatures, meaning in terms of quantity in addition to type. (In English) Quantity "Quantity" not just (In English) type "Quality". Let's explain.
Many Darwinist scientists state that the origin of man is a fish, and you find on their websites a drawing like this of the evolution of the fish into a human. Let's take just two creatures from this alleged evolutionary line: something like a mouse transforming into something like a monkey. What is required for this evolution to occur?
In the episode "Talk to Them Like Children," we explained the foolishness of the idea that random mutations produce a simple change in the creature itself, such as the elongation of the giraffe's neck, especially if we consider what that requires in terms of change at the level of the internal bodily systems and what it requires in terms of changes in genetic coding, and that the matter is not a silly conjuring game in the manner of the followers of the myth.
In this episode, we will say: Forget it, we will chase the bullet to the door of the house and deal with the subject as if it were a conjuring game. What is required in the conjuring manner for this transformation? Every point on this arrow connecting them represents a transitional creature, and the points are very numerous because they represent slow, gradual, simple changes as mentioned by the followers of the myth.
Every millimeter on the line represents the gradual elongation of the mouse's limbs, its tail gradually swelling, the dimensions of its head gradually changing. With hundreds of millions of years and countless transitional creatures, the mouse turns into a monkey. That is, it is assumed that the mouse and the monkey are submerged in an ocean of transitional creatures. Where are these countless transitional creatures? They do not exist on the surface of the earth.
Alright... let's concede to you, and we will go underground. Where are they in the fossil record?! The reality of the fossil record is that we have a very large number of fossils of distinct creatures that we see among us in reality, they are as they are. And we only find a few, less clear fossils, and the followers of the myth quickly cling to them as if they were transitional creatures. Therefore, talking about one fossil here and another there for creatures claimed to be intermediate is more absurd than talking about a shark and a shilling as evidence of stealing a million dinars. How can it be when we see that correct science soon refutes these claims? As we saw models of that in the episode: (In the Name of the Myth). That is, counterfeit and fake coins and shillings.
Darwin "Darwin" realized this, and therefore he mentioned that his myth requires us to find an innumerable number of fossils of transitional creatures, innumerable. And in his words: (In English) innumerable / countless. And he expressed his annoyance at their absence, but he relied on the completion of the fossil record in the future, just as the manager relied on the possibility that (Riyad) might have swallowed the million dinars.
There are many fossils of the creatures that we know, nothing of what Darwin imagined, although they should be submerged in seas of transitional creatures. And yet, he relies on the discovery of more. After one hundred and thirty years of Darwin's hopes and dreams, fossils of more than (100) thousand types of creatures have been collected, and the absence of fossils of the alleged transitional creatures has become more pronounced than in Darwin's time, as in this article that made its way to the New York Times "New York Times".
We have shown you thereby, brothers, what we mean when we say that one of the methods of the followers of the myth is to evade what necessarily follows from their myth.
But wait a moment, brothers! There is something very important. All of this that we have mentioned is based on the premise that we want to transform an entity according to a specific plan into another entity. That is, we have point (A), and we want to move from it to point (B). However, Darwin states in his book, "On the Origin of Species," that there is no plan for creation, and his followers emphasize this. No plan, no intention, no goal, no design! "No plan of creation, no purpose, no design." They are repulsed by these phrases and suffer from a phobia of them, causing them to change the term "Adaptation," meaning adaptation, to the imaginary "Exaptation," like their virtual creatures, for no reason other than that "Adaptation" is charged with the meaning of intentionality that they fight, as we mentioned in the episode "Citrate-Digesting Bacteria."
What does it mean for there to be no plan for creation? Imagine with me this circle that we want to transform into a square with a specific plan. What is required to transform it gradually? Every shape that appears before you represents a different transitional stage, slightly different from the previous one, and the large shape in the middle is an enlargement of the stage we have reached at every point in time. So the circle changes slowly, so that it begins to have angles little by little, these angles become more pronounced little by little, the circumference of the circle takes on the shape of sides little by little until we reach a square.
Imagine, on the other hand, that this circle changes randomly without a plan, without intention. What will happen then? Random shapes will be produced in every direction. Some of these shapes will become extinct by natural selection, and some will remain and change randomly in every direction. But what about the square? What square? There is no one who intends to transform the circle into a square in the first place! Perhaps one day one of the random shapes suitable for survival will turn into a square, but after an unimaginable number of chaotic, absurd shapes that resulted before this, of which the fossil record will retain a proportion.
The changes we talked about in the mouse to transform it into a monkey are changes that were made intentionally within a plan, like the changes we made intentionally to transform the circle into a square. And since there is no plan among the followers of the myth, it is misleading for them to start with an entity and draw a line from it to another entity, and deceive people that what is required is to find transitional creatures between them, as we did with the circle that we planned to transform into a square.
Indeed, the creature according to their myth will be more like a blind person who is told: Move! Where do I move? Brothers, I move to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west?! I go up in the air, I go down to the ground?! Just move and that's it. So our friend moves without guidance in all directions. A group of mice turns into many chaotic creatures, some of which become extinct, and some of which change without guidance and without a plan. And perhaps one day one of them will turn into a monkey after the earth, the air, the land, and the sea are filled with countless chaotic, absurd creatures.
The priests of the myth say: There is no plan of creation. And at the same time, they build their scenarios on the existence of this plan. They draw a line between two entities, even though their absurdity is more like nuclear fission than a straight line. Therefore, brothers, the terms used by the followers of the myth, such as: (intermediate links, and transitional creatures), are misleading terms. The intermediate is between two defined points, and the transitional moves to a defined goal. While the truth is that the myth requires an endless number of absurd forms of creatures like mice, for example, that change without guidance in all directions before one of them turns by chance and in a magical way into the shape they assumed it evolved into.
All of this, brothers, is in two types out of what is estimated to be more than eight million species of creatures that Darwin assumed had a common origin.
Come now, brothers, let us review the darkness of superstition and the deceptions of the false science priests that we spoke about in the previous episode and today's episode.
If you understand this, brother, you will laugh out loud when one of the followers of superstition says to you: "The discovery of such and such a transitional fossil has proven the evolution of reptiles into birds, resolved the dispute, and closed the case." In a comedy of ignorance or neglect. And you will laugh when you see them celebrating any fossil, and it will not cost you to listen to their nonsense about it.
If you understand this, brother, you will know the meaning of compound ignorance and compound falsehood, and you will know something of the meaning of Allah's words: "Darkness upon darknesses; if he stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not given light, for him there is no light." [Surah An-Nur:40]
So our episode was about evading what necessarily follows from superstition. A piece of advice, brother... With any idea that someone presents to you, look at what necessarily follows from it. What is implied by it? Before they tie this deceptive knot on your walking stick and then lose you in the details.
Come now, let us review how Richard tied the deceptive knot on our walking stick, then lost us in the details: then lost us in the details and the names and the millions of years that have passed according to their method... Now let us slow down the presentation a bit to see the moment of the crime; the moment of the deceptive knot. Come on, Richard, before you turn your back and start explaining your counterfeit coins, tell us who stole the alleged million dinars?
Until now, we have spoken, brothers, about: mixing superstition with truth, dazzling you to rent your mind, address them as children, and evading what follows from superstition. And peace be upon you.
