Another group of the enemies of religion pretend to be
scientists, and broadcast their corrupt thoughts in the disguise
of science. For example, they say such things as, “The cell,
which is the building stone of all living things, happened
incidentally by itself, and then in the process of time there came
into being small plants and animals in the sea, then those on
the land, and finally it evolved into man.” Thus, they mean to
say that Hadrat Âdam was not created from the soil, that the
Qur’ân al-kerîm and other holy books are fairy tales [Allah
forbid!] , and that it would be contrary to science to believe in
the existence of the Supreme Power, who created the first living
thing. These kinds of disbelievers are called Dahrî. Those
Dahrîs who present themselves as Muslims are called Zindiqs
and Science fanatics.
How wretched these sham scientists are! Yes, the
physiologist Haldene suggested the probability that “Millions of
years ago, in hot seas, affected by the ultraviolet rays coming
from the sun, inorganic gases turned into organic compounds
and, at the same time, the first molecule with an equiproductive
quality, that is, the cellular molecule that changes food
substances into living form like itself, was constructed
incidentally by itself.” But, this is a hypothesis, not an
experiment, not even a theory. Today there is no information or
even a theory showing how a molecule with an equiproductive
quality is constructed. Scientific knowledge is the knowledge of
observation and examination. A scientific fact is first observed
with organs of perception or with the tools which strengthen
them, and the causes of this fact are conjectured. Then, this
fact is experimented on again, and the effects and roles of
these causes are confirmed. If the cause of an event and the
way it has happened are known, we believe it. But there are
also events the causes of which cannot be understood through
experimentation. Many ideas are put forth as their cause. These
ideas are not certain. Also, different people may interpret a
single event differently.
A general idea which can explain all of the various events
that are explained through the same cause is called a
hypothesis. By explaining many events through one or more
hypotheses, by concluding new events and by testing these
events and by experimenting and observing these events,
among these hypotheses the ones that are decided to be
