This documentary explores the origins and fundamental flaws of the theory of evolution, tracing its roots not to modern science but to ancient pagan mythology. From the Sumerian creation myths of Mesopotamia to the materialist philosophers of ancient Greece and Rome, the idea that life evolved spontaneously from matter has always been a product of societies that rejected monotheism — and the scientific evidence continues to refute it.
The Pagan Origins of Evolution
Nearly 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians of Mesopotamia developed myths about life appearing spontaneously in water and evolving from one species to another. Greek materialist philosophers later adopted and refined these ideas, which were then carried forward by the Romans. In the 18th century, European intellectuals hostile to monotheistic religion revived these ancient concepts. Charles Darwin’s 1859 “Origin of the Species” was essentially a detailed version of this same ancient myth — dressed in the language of science but lacking genuine scientific support.
“Darwin’s theory was not based on clear scientific grounds and was not extensively adopted by the scientists of his time. Paleontologists were particularly aware that the entire theory was largely a figment of his imagination — the fossil record showed no transitional forms.”
Why the Theory Fails Scientifically
- The fossil record reveals no transitional forms — living things appear fully formed in the geological record
- Biochemistry has proven that even the simplest protein molecule is too complex to have formed by chance
- Living things that existed hundreds of millions of years ago possess the same complex structures as their counterparts today
- The theory gained political support because it provided a pseudo-scientific basis for the dominant ideologies of the 19th century, not because of its scientific merit
“Even the random formation of the simplest protein molecule is impossible, let alone a living cell. The theory of evolution has never had a solid scientific basis — it gained prominence through political support, not scientific proof.”
This documentary is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding why Islam affirms that human beings were created by God — not descended from animals through random chance. The scientific evidence points clearly toward intelligent design by an all-knowing Creator.
