Charles Darvin in his much referred theory states that man is on the top of the food chain, hence the most evolved cellular being on Earth. His theory comprises of 4 major gears, one of which is ‘survival of the fittest’ (this phrase was actually used by Herbert Spencer in 1864, this is now included as a part of the theory).
Survival of the fittest means that among a population of different species only the most tough will prevail and the weak will diminish and then extinct from the face of the globe. And the way which Darvin suggests for the prevailing species is non other then evolution. He suggests that the only means of survival for a developing species is via evolution, which must be in accordance with the circumstances and environment.
On the contrary, Islam and other religions say that every organism is sent by God and is in its best possible position.
We all know the lengthy arguments put forth by the advocates of the Theory in its defense. I here present a couple of simple examples to resolve this complex issue as per my knowledge with the help of ground realities.
Take for example an earth worm. It has no eyes no ears no arms no legs, it does not even have a proper digestive or reproductive system even no defense mechanism … so as per the theory this should of had been the first species to get extinct. But despite the obvious statement of the Theory, this worm is here since the beginning of time. The earliest fossils state its existence as early as 10,000 BC and even though in present times we see the worm to be a worm and not a giant land mafia. If survival of the fittest applies to it then where is the evolved form it?
Regardless of it, the Theory states only the fittest survives and the weak gets extinct. It refers to an environment where self center-ness is the order. Meaning the fittest survives taking advantage of the weak and leading the weak to extinction. If this is the case then there should be only one form of species alive today. But the reality is otherwise. We see thousands of species living together today. To elucidate my point I want you to think of grass. It is the basic source of fodder for the grazing animals, which provides the basic source of dairy products to us. But stick with grass for the time being. Grass has no defense mechanism and yet it is found so abundantly. Point to note here refers to the preceding example … grass require the land to be fertile, and no man irrigates the grass lands. They are irrigated naturally. But the Theory insists on the non existence of Nature. So how does all this happen?
Well, the most defenseless fodder is due to the courtesy of most defenseless worm. Not just grass all our irrigational land requires worm to keep the layers of soil porous for the seed to be sown and the young tiny bud to pop out the soil. The earth worm provides this mandatory porous-ness to the soil.
It seems to me here that rather than leading the weaker (grass) towards extinction the weak (worm) is actually supporting it. And not just supporting it, its support has made it the most abundant fodder in the world.
At this note, I want you all to think of this evolution theory as a ‘Theory’ and take your religion as a divine ‘Reality’.
