4. TO THE READER
•A special chapter is assigned to the collapse of the theory of evolution because this theory consti -
tutes the basis of all anti-spiritual philosophies. Since Darwinism rejects the fact of creation—and
therefore, Allah's existence—over the last 140 years it has caused many people to abandon their faith
or fall into doubt. It is therefore an imperative service, a very important duty to show everyone that
this theory is a deception. Since some readers may find the chance to read only one of our books, we
think it appropriate to devote a chapter to summarize this subject.
•All the author's books explain faith-related issues in light of Qur'anic verses, and invite readers to
learn Allah's words and to live by them. All the subjects concerning Allah's verses are explained so
as to leave no doubt or room for questions in the reader's mind. The books' sincere, plain, and fluent
style ensures that everyone of every age and from every social group can easily understand them.
Thanks to their effective, lucid narrative, they can be read at one sitting. Even those who rigorously
reject spirituality are influenced by the facts these books document and cannot refute the truthful -
ness of their contents.
•This and all the other books by the author can be read individually, or discussed in a group.
Readers eager to profit from the books will find discussion very useful, letting them relate their re -
flections
and experiences to one another.
•In addition, it will be a great service to Islam to contribute to the publication and reading of these
books, written solely for the pleasure of Allah. The author's books are all extremely convincing. For
this reason, to communicate true religion to others, one of the most effective methods is encouraging
them to read these books.
•We hope the reader will look through the reviews of his other books at the back of this book. His
rich source material on faith-related issues is very useful, and a pleasure to read.
•In these books, unlike some other books, you will not find the author's personal views, explanations
based on dubious sources, styles that are unobservant of the respect and reverence due to sacred sub -
jects, nor hopeless, pessimistic arguments that create doubts in the mind and deviations in the heart.

6. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, Adnan Oktar
was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary and second-
ary education in Ankara, he studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan
University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, he has
published many books on political, scientific, and faith-related issues.
Harun Yahya is well-known as the author of important works disclosing
the imposture of evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons
between Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and
communism.
Harun Yahya's works, translated into 57 different languages,
constitute a collection for a total of more than 45,000 pages with
30,000 illustrations. His pen-name is a composite of the names
Harun (Aaron) and Yahya (John), in memory of the two es-
teemed prophets who fought against their peoples' lack of
faith. The Prophet's seal on his books' covers is symbolic
and is linked to their contents. It represents the Qur'an
(the Final Scripture) and Prophet Muhammad (saas),
last of the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an
and the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet [saas]), the
author makes it his purpose to disprove each funda-
mental tenet of irreligious ideologies and to have
the "last word," so as to completely silence the ob-
jections raised against religion. He uses the seal
of the final Prophet (saas), who attained ulti-
mate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign
of his intention to offer the last word.
All of Harun Yahya's works share
one single
goal: to convey the Qur'an's
message, encourage read-
ers to consider basic
faith-related issues
such as Allah's ex-
istence
7. and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose irreligious systems' feeble foundations and perverted
ideologies. Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, from India to America,
England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, Spain to Brazil, Malaysia to Italy, France to Bulgaria and
Russia. Some of his books are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese,
Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Chinese, Swahili, Hausa, Dhivehi (spoken in Mauritius), Russian, Serbo-
Croat (Bosnian), Polish, Malay, Uygur Turkish, Indonesian, Bengali, Danish and Swedish.
Greatly appreciated all around the world, these works have been instrumental in many peo-
ple recovering faith in Allah and gaining deeper insights into their faith. His books' wisdom and
sincerity, together with a distinct style that's easy to understand, directly affect anyone who reads
them. Those who seriously consider these books, can no longer advocate atheism or any other per-
verted ideology or materialistic philosophy, since these books are characterized by rapid effec-
tiveness, definite results, and irrefutability. Even if they continue to do so, it will be only a senti-
mental insistence, since these books refute such ideologies from their very foundations. All con-
temporary movements of denial are now ideologically defeated, thanks to the books written by
Harun Yahya.
This is no doubt a result of the Qur'an's wisdom and lucidity. The author modestly intends to
serve as a means in humanity's search for Allah's right path. No material gain is sought in the pub-
lication of these works.
Those who encourage others to read these books, to open their minds and hearts and guide
them to become more devoted servants of Allah, render an invaluable service.
Meanwhile, it would only be a waste of time and energy to propagate other books that create
confusion in people's minds, lead them into ideological chaos, and that clearly have no strong and
precise effects in removing the doubts in people's hearts, as also verified from previous experience.
It is impossible for books devised to emphasize the author's literary power rather than the noble
goal of saving people from loss of faith, to have such a great effect. Those who doubt this can read-
ily see that the sole aim of Harun Yahya's books is to overcome disbelief and to disseminate the
Qur'an's moral values. The success and impact of this service are manifested in the readers' con-
viction.
One point should be kept in mind: The main reason for the continuing cruelty, conflict, and
other ordeals endured by the vast majority of people is the ideological prevalence of disbelief. This
can be ended only with the ideological defeat of disbelief and by conveying the wonders of cre-
ation and Qur'anic morality so that people can live by it. Considering the state of the world today,
leading into a downward spiral of violence, corruption and conflict, clearly this service must be
provided speedily and effectively, or it may be too late.
In this effort, the books of Harun Yahya assume a leading role. By the will of Allah, these
books will be a means through which people in the twenty-first century will attain the peace, jus-
tice, and happiness promised in the Qur'an.
12. THE SKULLS THAT DEMOLISH DARWIN
INTRODUCTION
According to Darwinists’ erroneous way of thinking, they supposed there is only one
explanation for the emergence of living things in nature: All are descended from the
very first living cell, which developed spontaneously as the result of blind coincidences.
Over the course of time—and again by chance—earlier species gradually trans-
formed into other genetically different species. To put it another way, Darwinism feels
that in order to account for the emergence of life, all that’s needed are coincidences, nat-
ural events and long periods of time. According to Darwinists, life emerged through a
combination of these accidents, for which reason there can be no question of such con-
cepts as reason, intelligence or even consciousness (Allah is beyond this) playing any
part in the process.
From their assertion, it follows that the fossil record—and specifically, fossil skulls—
should contain clear evidence of this imaginary unconscious process that took place
over millions of years. If species really are descended from earlier life forms, then inter-
mediate signs of the process should be visible throughout the fossil record. If life forms
reach their most advanced forms at the end of a number of previous stages, then the
number of fossilized life forms in the process of changing—from fish to reptiles, from
reptiles to mammals, and from mammals to intermediate life forms that supposedly
took to flying in the air, should be much greater than the number of fossils that had
completed the imaginary evolutionary process.
There should be billions of such fossils, and the fictitious process of evolution should
be crystal clear from them. The fossil record, therefore, should constitute one of the
most important proofs of the theory of evolution.
And in fact, Charles Darwin himself was well aware of this:
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking most closely all the species of the
same group together, must assuredly have existed. . . . Consequently, evidence of their former exis-
tence could be found only amongst fossil remains.1
. . . the number of intermediate and transitional links, between all living and extinct species, must
have been inconceivably great.2
But the truth revealed by the fossil record is very different! Millions of fossils belong-
ing to tens of thousands of different species have been discovered. All of these represent
fully formed and complete life forms, each with a perfect appearance and complexity.
There is no trace of the intermediate species expected by Darwin and so longed for by
all Darwinists since.

The photo below shows a fossil researcher de-
termining the borders between one rock layer
and the other strata. This process involves the
identification of all the strata present, the for-
mation process involved and the movement of
the Earth that is still going on. Thus the age of
fossils as well as their location can both be
determined.
Not a single intermediate form has been found anywhere in the world. Life forms tens of millions
of years old have exactly the same appearance as their living counterparts today. Ants, flies, fish,
bears, spiders, tigers and lions alive today are exactly the same as their counterparts that lived mil-
lions of years in the past. All have exactly the same levels of complexity as their ancient counterparts.
They have never changed—in other words, they never evolved.
This applies to all the other living things on Earth, plants and animals alike. Fish have never
changed, and neither have birds. Reptiles have survived unchanged, and so have crustaceans. There
are countless fossil specimens that show that living things have never changed. This is the truth
placed on display throughout the volumes that comprise the Atlas of Creation series. These books
consider only a very small part of all the fossils that demonstrate how living things have always re-
mained exactly the same. Without exception, all the millions of fossils obtained to date, constitute ev-
idence that evolution never happened.
The fossils presented in this book totally demolish one of Darwinists’ major claims: their scenario of
mammalian evolution. These fossil skulls, millions of years old, show that these mammals lived in exact-
ly the same forms as those alive today—which fact deals a serious blow to Darwinism. The realization

One substance in which the very best-preserved fossils appear is amber.
Fossils within amber resulted when the clear sap or resin secreted by trees
solidifies around living things and preserved them as they were at the
very moment of death. These 25-million-year-old flying ants are
specimens that invalidate the theory of evolution.
Excavations carried out over the last
150 years have always produced evi-
dence that totally discredits evolu-
tion. One such is this 50-million-year-
old crab fossil unearthed at Monte
Baldo in Italy, which demonstrates
that crabs have always existed as
crabs.

that so many birds, reptiles, fish and finally mammals never underwent evolution strongly suggests
that the idea of human evolution is utter nonsense, too. The idea of human evolution, for which
Darwinists have been unable to provide any shred of evidence, has been totally discredited by the
millions of “living fossils” representing species that are still alive today.
The fossils depicted in this book represent just a very few of the mammal skulls discovered to date.
Anyone with common sense who examines these will agree that each fossil shows that the given spe-
cies of mammal has remained unchanged in the form in which it was originally created. That, in turn,
will lead to a better understanding of the deceptive nature of Darwinism, which maintains that hu-
man beings are only another species of animal descended from apes. In the same way that evolution
never happened over the course of natural history, so there is no equivalent “turning point” in hu-
man history. All the hoaxes perpetrated to keep this deception alive have been proven vain. The sub-
lime and flawless Creation of our Lord Allah, the Creator and sole Lord of all entities, is plain for ev-
eryone to grasp. The artistry of our Lord, Who creates from nothing, is displayed all over the world.
You can see this for yourself merely from glancing at a rose in the garden, at a bird’s wing, at all
the countless living species in all their variety, or at the magnified image of just one single cell. The
fossil record has provided plentiful evidence that makes it impossible to deny this immaculate
Creation. No objections can any longer be raised to this conclusive evidence.
Darwinists are struggling in vain because willingly or not, they have finally come to admit the
death of the theory of evolution. All their efforts aimed at keeping Darwinism alive are helpless and
despairing. Nobody any longer attach any credence to Darwinism. No doubt, the most rational course
of action is to see the truth and shun one’s past errors, abandon any false dream, and to cease wast-
ing one’s time in this world—which was created as a place of testing—on such a hollow goal.
Adnan Oktar 15
18. THE SKULLS THAT DEMOLISH DARWIN
THE IMPACT OF FOSSIL SKULLS ON DARWINISM
Darwin’s thesis that human beings and apes are descended from a common ancestor was
never supported by any scientific findings, neither when he first proposed it, not afterward.
All the efforts exerted from then to the present—a period of some 150 years—have been in
vain. All the fossils obtained to date have proved that apes have always existed as apes, that
human beings have always existed as human beings, that apes did not turn into humans and
that apes, and that humans have no common ancestor.
Despite Darwinists’ intensive propaganda and efforts aimed at intimidating academic cir-
cles, many scientists have nevertheless issued unequivocal statements that the idea of human
evolution is not based on any scientific data. One such is the Harvard University paleoan-
thropologist David Pilbeam:
If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and
showed him the meager evidence we’ve got, he’d surely say, “Forget
it; there isn't enough to go on.”3
William Fox, whose book The Bone Peddlers takes
paleoanthropology as its subject matter, also says that
so-called human evolution is unsupported by any
scientific findings:
As we have seen, there are numerous scientists and
popularizes today who have the temerity to tell us that

19. THE SKULLS THAT DEMOLISH DARWIN
there is “no doubt” how man originated. If only they had the evidence. . . . .4
Faced by the disappointment inflicted on them by the fossil record and their own lack of
evidence, evolutionists were reduced to setting skulls out one after the other, in a totally in-
valid sequence, and to speculating about these fossils, whose fraudulent nature had in any
case long since been documented.
In fact, the analysis of skulls belonging to apes, other life forms, and to human races that
once lived in the past shows that all of them possessed all their characteristics during the
course of their existence, and that they never underwent any changes. Living things never
evolved, but were all created by Allah. As you shall see from the specimens included in the
following pages, just as numerous life forms such as frogs, lizards, dragonflies, flies and
cockroaches have undergone no changes in their limbs and other organs, so have their heads
undergone no changes. The head regions of birds and fish have also remained unchanged.
The skulls of countless mammals such as leopards, wolves, foxes, tigers, rhinoceroses, ti-
gers, pandas, lions and hyenas have also stayed exactly the same over the millions of years
since they were first created. This stability constitutes a definitive refutation of the idea that
living things evolved.
The stability that all these life forms reveal also applies to human beings. In the
same way that the skull structures of tens of thousands of species have not
changed over millions of years, so there have been no alterations in the
human skull. Fish have always existed as fish, birds as birds, rep-
tiles as reptiles, and human s as human beings. There is no
evidence of steady progress from the primitive to
the more advanced, of the kind claimed by
evolutionists, in the organs or structures
of any living thing.
In relating the fictitious story of hu-
man evolution, evolutionists point to
the volume, eyebrow protrusions
or brow structures of the
skulls they find, and set up
their own supposed evo-

lutionary sequence and family trees. But the structural differences in fossil skulls are no evi-
dence of evolution: These skulls belong either to extinct species of apes, or else to various hu-
man races that once existed. It is entirely logical that skulls belonging to different human ra-
ces should display structural differences. Different species of fish have differently shaped
heads. For example, the head shape of a trout bears no resemblance to that of an eel, although
both are fish. Similarly, there may be differences between the skulls of different human races.
It is perfectly natural that there should be differences in the eye sockets, forehead struc-
tures, muscular structures and skull volumes between Pygmies and
British people, Russians and Chinese, Australian Aborigines and
Eskimos, Negroes and Japanese But these differences do not
mean that one race is descended from another, or is more prim-
itive or more advanced than another. An aboriginal race will al-
ways maintain the same distinctive features for as long as it
does not intermarry with members of another race. No matter
how much time passes, these human beings will never evolve
in such a way as to acquire different characteristics. Their skull
volumes will not become any larger than they are now, and
they will not acquire different anatomi-
cal structures.

ists regard as being a primitive ancestor. If ev-
olutionists’ claims were true, the Malaysian
natives in question should have a structure
and appearance of humans who have recently
evolved from being apes and have not yet de-
veloped fully into Homo sapiens. Yet that is
not the case at all. The fact that anatomical fea-
tures of the H. erectus skull can still be seen to-
day shows that H. erectus was not a primitive
species and also, that evolutionists’ scenario of
the human family tree is a fiction.
In short, the fact that some past human ra-
ces had anatomical structures different from
human beings alive today in no way consti-
tutes evidence in favor of evolution.

tall, and compare it with the skull of a Japanese individual who also lived in the 2000s but was only
1.60 meters tall, they will observe a great many differences between them—first and foremost, in
terms of size. If, on the basis of these differences, they then suggest, that the Japanese were primitive
and that Americans were several rungs higher up the developmental ladder, of course they will be
making an interpretation that in no way reflects the true state of affairs.
In addition, skull volume is no criterion for measuring anyone’s intelligence or capacities. There
are many humans with well-developed bodies but insufficiently developed intelligence. In the same
way, many people have bodies and therefore, skulls, smaller than those of others, but who are nev-
ertheless highly intelligent. Their skulls cannot be evaluated by the scientists of the future, at least
not in a scientifically valid way and on the basis of dimensions alone, to set out any supposed evo-
lutionary line of progression—because that sequence will not reflect the true facts. Differences in
skull size are known to be totally unrelated to intelligence and ability. If someone spends his life in
intense mental activity, his skull will not grow in size. Only his mental abilities will get stronger..
Intelligence varies, not in relation to skull size, but according to the organization within the brain it-
self.5
The following pages offer just a few examples of the countless fossil skulls that invalidate the the-
ory of evolution. These specimens all prove that no life form has ever changed during its natural his-
tory; they have all existed with the same features they enjoyed when they were first created. In ad-
dition to this evidence, this book also contains statements that indicate and emphasize the dilemmas
facing Darwinist thinking. For example, Darwinists, who illogically maintain that living things de-
velop by constant change, are asked to account for the evident stability in every fossil life form. The
theory of evolution, which suggests that human beings are allegedly descended from apes, has to ex-
plain why no process, similar to the imaginary one it claims took place in apes, occurred in other life
forms. Evolutionists have no answer as to why a bear did not one day decide to walk on two legs,
why a fox did not raise its level of intelligence enough to become a professor, or why a panda never
became a composer writing stupendous symphonies. The rea-
son why the subject is discussed using examples and logical
progressions accessible even to children is that Darwinism
is constructed upon unbelievable illogicality. Depicted as a
scientific theory, Darwinism is in fact an unbelievably illogi-
cal ideology.
People have now fully realized that Darwinism, the worst
scandal in the history of the world, is built around lies, hoaxes
and irrational claims. In the 21st century, the whole world is
witnessing Darwinism’s collapse.

ore than 6,000 species of ape have existed at one time or another. The great ma-
M jority of them have since become extinct and vanished, leaving only some 120 spe-

rich source of hoaxes for evolutionists. Unable to point to any concrete evidence, evolution-
ists surround fossils of extinct apes with biased analyses and then present them as evi-

For years now, evolutionists have been employing such methods in order to gather sup-

no use. The false evidence used by evolutionists to make their tall tales of
the alleged human evolution seem more credible—and the debunk-

are many more evolutionist hoaxes than the few considered

f evolution truly did take
I place, then the Earth’s
strata should be full of bil-
lions of intermediate-form fos-

living things should have been dis-
tinctly abnormal in appearance be-
cause of the effects of mutations. Organs
subjected to mutation many times over
should have turned into abnormal forms.
Before attaining their perfect and attractive present ap-
pearance, these living things must first have had abnormal transitional ap-
pearances. For example, before the emergence of the highly sym-
metrical human face with its two ears, two eyes, nose and
mouth, there must have been a great many abnormal mu-
tated faces with impaired symmetry, imperfect
ears and eyes, the nose sited right between the
eyes or on the chin, or where the ear should have
been, and countless other such abnormalities.

THE INVALIDITY OF THE EQUINE

ll the horse skulls so far unearthed have been flaw-
A less and free from deficiencies, just like those of
present-day horses. None of them have any pathological
features such as semi-developed bones, teeth atop of
the skull, misplaced eyes in the jaw or asymmetrical three
nostrils. If—as evolutionists would have us believe—
horses attained their present forms by constantly chang-
ing and going through a great many different stages, then
a great many skulls should exhibit structural impair-
ments, as seen here.
Traces of the mutations
to which horses were
subjected should also
be visible in the fossil
record. Yet no such tra-
ces have ever been en-
countered. Fossils are
proof that horses never
evolved.
Horses have a wide capacity for variation
among themselves. Breeds of horse living
today, though all of the same species, are
very different in terms of their structures
and dimensions. The error of the evolu-

these different breeds as an evolutionary

there was no basis in the fossil record for the equine
evolution scenario and that no such process as grad-

The popularly told example of horse evolution, sug-
gesting a gradual sequence of changes from four-toed
fox-sized creatures living nearly 50 million years ago
to today’s much larger one-toed horse, has long been
known to be wrong. Instead of gradual change, fossils
of each intermediate species appear fully distinct, per-
sist unchanged, and then become extinct. Transitional

Cambrian Period fossils to be discovered were con-

Given such an example, it was inevitable that the the-
ory of evolution would attempt to conceal specimens
of countless living fossils subsequently unearthed, and
for exactly the same reason. However, the situation
was by no means what Darwinists had been expecting.
Darwinists never imagined that so many specimens of
so-called “living fossils” would be discovered. The

As a basis for claiming that human beings are descend- China
ed from apes, Darwinists point to the imitative
ability of certain species of monkey. Monkeys
are able to mimic actions and behavior they
see, but this does not allow them to eventual-
ly evolve into human beings. If it did, then
other species of animal also known to be in-
telligent should also have become possessed
of human attributes. Parrots, for example,
are also able to mimic human speech.
Therefore, according to Darwinists’
nonsensical claims, there must be a
greater likelihood of parrots develop-
ing human speech.
Countless findings, such as the 36-mil-

GREY WOLF SKULL
As evidence for the so-called evolution of man, Darwinists
pointed to a very limited number of fossils. Many years ago,
they interpreted them as their most important specimens of
intermediate forms. However, subsequent scientific
progress has shown that the fossils in question be-
longed either to monkeys or else to hu-
man races that existed at some time
in the past. For that reason, all the
so-called evidence for human evolu-
tion has gradually been removed
from the scientific literature. The on-
ly reason why some Darwinist publi-
cations still refer to these fossils is en-
tirely speculative—they are of no scien-
tific value at all.
Another scientific finding that reveals
that the evolution of man is a lie and that
human beings did not evolve from any
previous life form is the countless num-
bers of fossils unearthed. One such ex-
ample is this 69-million-year-old grey

Darwinists have created a story to explain the sup-

Darwinism is not based upon reason, logic or any
scientific evidence, producing a scenario regard-
ing the development of a specific life form de-
pends on the power of conjecture, Darwinists’
most highly developed talent. But Darwinists nev-
er expected that so many fossils would be discov-
ered revealing that living never changed with the
passage of time. They imagined that “living fossils”
were very few in number and could easily be ex-
plained away, at least to their own minds. They
never thought that such definitive proof would
be unearthed that all living things have re-
mained exactly the same. Therefore, they never
expected that one by one, all their tall tales
would be totally discredited. They were una-

In 1993, Stephen Jay Gould wrote in
the magazine Natural History about
the way living species things can be
observed to have exactly the same
characteristics throughout the fossil
record:
Stasis, or nonchange of most fossil spe-
cies during their lengthy geological life-
spans, was tacitly acknowledged by all
paleontologists, but almost never stud-
ied explicitly because prevailing theory
treated stasis as uninteresting nonevi-
dence for nonevolution . . . [T]he over-
whelming prevalence of stasis became
an embarrassing feature of the fossil
record, but left ignored as a manifesta-
tion of nothing (that is, nonevolution).8
The only reason why evolutionists refer
to the stasis in the fossil record as “em-
barrassing” is that if living things expe-
rience no changes, that invalidates the
theory of evolution. This information,
which shows that evolution never hap-
pened, is evidence for the fact of
Creation.
