Fossils that were once announced by the media under headlines such as “a great discovery,” and later presented for years through countless articles as if they were proven facts, were eventually revealed by impartial scientists and scientific studies to be deceptions. Yet, instead of offering any explanation, these fossils were quietly shelved, and immediately afterward, the process of “discovering new fossils” was initiated once again. This ongoing pattern, persisting from the past to the present without interruption, has turned into a recurring cycle aimed at concealing the fact that the theory of evolution is a fallacy.
From the period when the theory of evolution was proposed until now, fake fossil news that has come to the agenda serves only one purpose in reality: To hide the fact that there is no concrete evidence for evolution.
Indeed, from past to present, it has been repeatedly demonstrated by impartial scientists that all fossils put forward as so-called evidence for evolution without exception are either fabricated or distorted. Sometimes human and animal bones are combined to produce fake fossils (for example, Piltdown Man), sometimes animal fossils are presented as if they belong to humans (as in the case of Neanderthal Man). In some cases, still-living species have been shown as "transitional forms" (such as Coelacanth, Archaeopteryx / Hoatzin).
When it is revealed by impartial scientists and scientific articles that these fossils, announced by the media with "major discovery" headlines and then given a "real" air through countless articles for years, are deceptions, they are shamelessly quietly shelved, and immediately afterward, the process of "finding new fossils" is embarked upon. This situation, which has continued uninterrupted from past to present, has turned into a repeated cycle to cover up the fact that the theory of evolution is a fallacy.
One of the latest examples of this can be seen in the news about the 161 million-year-old tadpole fossil found in Argentina.In January 2020, a research team searching for dinosaur fossils in Patagonia came across the world's oldest frog fossil. T
The fossil belonged to a tadpole named iribaş and, in a surprising manner, its soft tissues were preserved quite well. In the fossil, most of the body and part of the tail, eyes, nerves, and one forelimb could be seen. It belonged to a giant frog species with a large head, about 15 cm in length. Apart from its size, the fossil had no difference from the tadpoles of today's frogs.
However, although evolutionists try to make evolution propaganda through the fossil, in reality, the fossil they found pointed to a fact that refutes evolution.
That is, 161 million years is, according to evolutionists' claims, more than enough and sufficient time for living beings to undergo major structural changes, and according to their own admissions, a fossil remaining from such a long time period should exhibit more primitive features according to the theory.However, this fossil carried exactly the same features as today's frogs and belonged only to a larger specimen. In other words, it made their already fallacious theories even more difficult.
However, according to the news in the media, evolutionists saw this as an opportunity and embarked on an effort to present the size of the fossil to the public as if it were a so-called proof of evolution, in order to create the perception that they viewed it as such.
On the other hand, this is not the first example; making distortions based on the body or organ size of living beings is one of the methods frequently used by evolutionists. Arranging fossils from largest to smallest or smallest to largest and showing this as evidence of evolution is an evolutionist method resorted to for many years, even though it has no scientific value. It is unscientific because it is a normal situation for even the same species to have members in very different sizes.,
Living beings alive today provide the clearest examples of this: for example, the miniature-appearing Mytilene horse and the gigantic-sized Shire horse carry no physiological differences apart from their body sizes. This and hundreds of similar living beings clearly show that size cannot be evidence of evolution.
Another example showing the inadequacy of the size criterion is related to skull volume. For many years, evolutionists have arranged the skulls they found from smallest to largest and presented modern humans as the most advanced race. However, some of the skulls they used belong to living or extinct monkeys, and some belong to different human communities. Therefore, it is quite natural for some skulls to be small and some to be large. Additionally, it is extremely natural for "a Japanese person to have a different skull structure from an African, an Eskimo from a German." These differences do not show that one race is more advanced or more backward than the other, and they are definitely not evidence for evolution. It is the diversity and difference in Allah's creation. Associating size with primitiveness or advancement is utterly absurd.
For this reason, presenting the discovered tadpole fossil as evidence for evolution due to its size is an utterly futile effort. Indeed, the words of biologist Mariana Chuliver, who was involved in the study of the fossil, "It is incredibly surprising that several features commonly used to classify current frog tadpoles are preserved in this fossil..." also reveal this. (1)
The tadpole fossil found in Argentina is so well preserved that it will be placed in the same class as today's tadpoles. This also shows that it cannot be presented as evidence for evolution.
Like all limbs and features of living beings, including frogs, skull and head structures have also been the same for millions of years. No living being has undergone any change in its skull. Like all living beings, frogs have undergone no change, have been created as frogs with all their anatomical features, and have existed until today in that way. In summary, the tadpole fossil that evolutionists put forward as so-called evidence of frog evolution is also not evidence of evolution.
Indeed, as seen below, herpetologist Dr. Earyn McGee's discovery in recent years of a giant tadpole alive clearly demonstrates the invalidity of evolutionists' claim that "frogs were large in the past (so-called) and evolved by shrinking." (2)
Although evolutionists strive to uphold the evolution theory—devoid of true scientific foundation—through various perception management tactics, suggestions, and propaganda, even the extraordinary structure of a single living cell clearly reveals the invalidity of these claims. A cell, in which billions of molecules work in perfect order and harmony, possesses a structure far more complex and organized than an entire city. It is absolutely impossible for even a single cell, or even a single atom, to come into existence on its own, by chance. All these details are clear evidence that life was created by a Creator possessing supreme intellect and knowledge.
The Almighty Allah is the One who created all beings—living and non-living—that we witness in the universe. Allah has described the creation of man in detail in many verses of the Qur’an. In these verses, the stages of human creation, Allah’s power, and the wisdom behind creation are clearly emphasized.
The Qur’an states regarding the creation of man:
“We created man from an extract of clay. Then We placed him as a drop (of sperm) in a safe place (the womb). Then We made the drop into a clinging clot; and We made the clot into a lump (of flesh). Then We made from the lump bones, and We clothed the bones with flesh. Then We produced it as another creation. So blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators.”
(Surah Al-Mu’minun, 12–14)
And in another verse:
“O mankind! Fear your Lord, who created you from a single soul, and created from it its mate, and spread from both of them many men and women.”(Surah An-Nisa, 1)
And again:
“He it is who created you from dust, then from a drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you forth as a child, then lets you grow to reach your full strength...” (Surah Al-Mu’min, 67)
In these verses, Allah clearly declares the stages of human creation, showing that mankind did not come into being by coincidence or random events, but was created by Allah, who possesses supreme knowledge and power. Contrary to the claims of the theory of evolution, the Qur’an and scientific observations together demonstrate that both humans and all living beings were created by an All-Knowing, All-Wise Creator.
In conclusion, like everything else we see in the universe, the creation of man is a manifestation of Allah’s unique knowledge and power. Allah created man in the best form and bestowed upon him countless blessings. This truth is clearly evident both in the Qur’an and in the signs throughout the universe.
“O man! What has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Most Generous—Who created you, proportioned you, and balanced you? In whatever form He willed, He assembled you.”
(Surah Al-Infitar, 6–8)
