Are Fossils Proof of Evolution?
Re-Constructed T-Rex
It is firstly important to note that many fossils documented in text books, and Evolution websites are recontructions!!!, very rarely are the full set of bones of a dead organism found, usually only partial fragments are found THEREFORE the rest of the fossils have to be RECONTRUCTED, using the imagination of whoever is doing them, often evolutionists are the ones who extrapolate these fossils, and they interpret it.
Secondly, it is important to note that fossils can not logically be prove of evolution, for instance, THE FOSSIL, may just be an extinct form of life, it doesnt neccesarily mean it is an intermediate form of life, and what is important to note is that It can not be proven if these fossils reproduced and had children.
Fossils are basically the preserved bones from the past which have been found in dirt/stone. They are found all over the world, even the tops of the highest mountains, (proving the mountains were underwater at one point) They may be as simple organisims like seashells which leave a permanent impression in sandstone
The fossils themselves do not directly tell us their age or how they got buried, both of these have to be infered from other methods. They must be interpreted within some view of earth history. Many people have been led to believe that the existence of fossils proves that
Fossils can form quite quickly. Heat and pressure from rapid burial accelerates the fossilisation process. Conditions following the worldwide flood of Noah as mentioned in the Quran, would have been bigger than anything imaginable today and must have led to the rapid fossilisation of plants and animals on a massive scale, which is why there are so many fossils.
Fossilisation can happen rapidly under the right conditions, but its rare today. Yet there are mass burial sites throughout the world that are tightly packed with millions of fossils. literally billions of organisms were washed together by the mass destruction of the worldwide flood, completely buried, and rapidly fossilised.
Geologists and paleontologists operating acknowledge the possibility that a worldwide catastrophe could have buried unimaginable amounts of plants and animals. Sea creatures would have been buried first (the salinity and temperature of the oceans would have changed during the catastrophe, wiping out massive numbers of these sea creatures)
Any order of burial in a flood would be possible, the general tendency would be for sea life to be buried in the lower rock layers and land animals to be buried in different rock layers corresponding to their ecological niche. This tendency is generally found
The Expanding Universe & Its Origins
In the Qur'an, almost 1450 years ago the expansion of the universe was described like this:
"And it is We who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it."
(The Qur'an, 51:47)
The word 'heaven', as stated in this verse, is used in various places in the Qur'an with the meaning of space and universe. Here again, the word is used with this meaning. In other words, in the Qur'an it is revealed that the universe "expands". And this is the very conclusion that science has reached today.
Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?... (Quran, 21:30)
Evidence for the big bang
- The universe is expanding.
- There exists a cosmic background radiation field detectable at microwave frequencies.
- The cosmic microwave background field is measurably isotropic to better than a few parts in 100,000 after compensation is made for the relativistic Doppler effect caused by Earth/Sun/Milky Way motion.
- The cosmic microwave background radiation field is precisely that of a black body.
- The cosmic microwave background radiation field has a temperature of 2.7 K.
- There does exist a universal abundance ratio of helium to hydrogen consistent with the current expansion rate and cosmic background temperature.
- The cosmological abundance of deuterium relative to hydrogen and helium is consistent with the levels expected given the current expansion rate and density.
- There are only three families of neutrinos.
- The night sky is not as bright as the surface of the Sun.
- The cosmic background radiation field is slightly lumpy at a level of one part in 100,000 to 1,000,000.
- There are no objects that have ages indisputably greater than the expansion age of the universe.
- There are about 10,000,000,000 photons in the cosmic background radiation field for every proton and neutron of matter.
- The degree of galaxy clustering observed is consistent with an expanding universe with a finite age less than 20 billion years.
- There are no elements heavier than lithium which have a universal abundance ratio.
- The universe was once opaque to its own radiation.
- The universe is now dominated exclusively by matter and not a mixture of matter and anti-matter.

Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke... (Quran, 41:11)
Above is a picture of A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants of the "smoke" that was the origin of the whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, page 50)
Cloud of gas and dust, about 60 light years in diameter
(Horizons, Exploring the Universe, Seeds, plate 9, from Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc.)
Because the earth and the heavens above (the sun, the moon, stars, planets, galaxies, etc.) have been formed from this same ‘smoke,’ we conclude that the earth and the heavens were one connected entity. Then out of this homogeneous ‘smoke,’ they formed and separated from each other. God has said in the Quran: Have not those who disbelieved known that the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them?... (Quran, 21:30)
The translated word smoke is the correct word/adjective to describe this process, it was used to help early muslims understand, as they needed words and language they could understand
Secular Scientists Opinion: Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.” [2] (Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.”
Darkness in Ocean Depths
"Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom God giveth not light, there is no light! (Quran, 24:40)"
The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light. Below a depth of 1000 meters there is no light at all
Today, we know about the general structure of the sea, the characteristics of the living things in it, its salinity, as well as the amount of water it contains, its surface area and depth. Submarines and special equipment, developed with modern technology, enable scientists to obtain this information.
Human beings are not able to dive more than 40 meters down without the aid of special equipment. They cannot survive unaided in the deep, dark parts of the oceans, such as at a depth of 200 meters. For these reasons, scientists have only recently been able to discover these detailed pieces of information about seas. However, the statement of "darkness in a deep sea" was used in Sura Nur 1,400 years ago. It is certainly one of the miracles of the Qur'an that such information was given at a time where no equipment to enable man to dive into the depths of the oceans was available.
| Measurements made with today's technology have revealed that between 3 and 30 percent of the sunlight is reflected at the surface of the sea. Then, almost all of the seven colours of the light spectrum are absorbed, one after another, in the first 200 meters, except for blue light (picture at left). Below a depth of 1,000 meters, there is no light at all. (above picture). This scientific fact was pointed out in the verse 40 of Sura Nur in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. |
The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light. Below a depth of 1000 meters there is no light at all. Human beings are not able to dive more than forty meters without the aid of submarines or special equipment.
Almost all of the seven colors of the light spectrum are absorbed one after another in the first 200 meters, except the blue light. (Source : Oceans, Elder and Pernetta)
Lack of Oxygen and Low Pressure in Space
"Whomever GOD wills to guide, He renders his chest wide open to Submission. And whomever He wills to send astray, He renders his chest intolerant and tight, like one who climbs towards the sky. GOD thus places a curse upon those who refuse to believe. (Quran, 6:125)"
Quran 15:97 and 26:13, give evidence about the feeling of chest-pain. The following Noble Verse 6:125, never spoke about a literal and physical shrinking of the chest's flesh and bones, because the tightness of the chest is referred to those who reject faith and have a grudge or bitterness against Islam, and Noble Verses 15:97and 26:13, below, clearly and indisputably prove it. Does your chest decrease in size when you feel very angry or bitter toward something or someone? The obvious answer is no, and therefore, Noble Verse 6:125 clearly is speaking metaphorically and not literally.
Also, as clearly shown in the ample translations of Noble Verse 6:125, the Arabic word حرجا does indeed mean intolerant, and ضيقا does mean tight:
"Whomever GOD wills to guide, He renders his chest wide open to Submission. And whomever He wills to send astray, He renders his chest intolerant and tight, like one who climbs towards the sky. GOD thus places a curse upon those who refuse to believe. (Quran, 6:125)"
As scientifically proven, this is due to the fact that air pressure in the upper parts of our atmosphere is very low, and is close to nil in space, while it is much higher inside our bodies, and also there is no oxygen to breathe in the upper parts of our atmosphere.
Now, as clearly and indisputably proven, since the air pressure inside the human body increases to balance out the low air pressure outside the body as he physically ascends in the air, the overwhelming increase of pressure inside the body and chest (lungs) would cause:
1- An unbearable discomfort and pain.
2- The chest wouldn't be big enough to contain the expanding air pressure and fluids inside the body, and therefore, the chest itself would become "strait and narrow", because while the flesh and bones themselves wouldn't grow/expand in size, but their stretching (to the point of death) would cause the chest to be strait and narrow to a point where the person wouldn't be able to breath. See Noble Verses 15:97and 26:13 below for further proofs.
Also, Allah Said that the space outside earth at anytime is absolutely black, and that it is the day-layer that reveals the sun's radiant-lights and not the sun that reveals the day. This has all been scientifically confirmed.
Now, the Arabic word "sadr", which was translated as "breast" does also mean chest. As a matter of a fact, the common meaning of the word today in modern-day Arabic is chest.
Mountains Stablise the Earth
Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)
A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots.1 These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg (see the diagrams below)
Mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground. (Earth, Press and Siever, p. 413.)
Schematic section. The mountains, like pegs, have deep roots embedded in the ground. (Anatomy of the Earth, Cailleux, p. 220)
Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground as you see in the diagrams above, and these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground. So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word ‘peg,’ since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. So for instance if a mountain is 3milies hight above ground level, it is likely to be 9 Miles deep under the surface of the Earth
The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth. They hinder the shaking of the earth. God has said in the Quran:
And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 16:15)
Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s.
