00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Today, we are in the company of a 350 million year old sun coral fossil.

2
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
You are now seeing it close up.

3
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It is a fossil that was found in Morocco.

4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And of course, it exhibits the same characteristics as sun corals living today.

5
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Its entire anatomy and everything are exactly the same.

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Now, we can say that corals' outer shells, or outer parts, are their skeletal structures.

7
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Their skeletons contain large quantities of minerals,

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
and these minerals are what gives rise to structures like rocks and even the coral reefs of today.

9
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Each one is a separate organism.

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
What you see in my hand is a fossilized sun coral.

11
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
This is how they look in the oceans, too, and they look exactly the same today.

12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
But these organisms come together and build colonies.

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
The result of these colonies are coral reefs.

14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
They are part of the group of living things that exhibit radial symmetry.

15
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
In other words, when we take a vertical section of their bodies, no matter where we do this from,

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
the result is two equal parts.

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
And this reveals a manifestation of Allah symmetry in living things,

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
because mathematics divides symmetry into a number of different groups.

19
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Radial symmetry can be seen in this life form, mashallah.

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Living things can even be classified according to their symmetries.

21
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
These are part of the group with radial symmetry.

22
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
After learning of this biological data, let us now move on to paleontology.

23
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
A sun coral that was living in what is now Morocco 350 million years ago has been petrified

24
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
and is sitting like a stone in my hand.

25
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
When we compare it with a picture of the form that is living today,

26
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
this sun coral has the same round structures and lines around it as present-day corals.

27
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
We see that it is identical to them right down to the finest detail.

28
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,000
These examinations show us that one life form does not turn into another.

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Therefore, what Charles Darwin said, his prophecy for the future if you will, was untrue.

30
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Let us remind ourselves of what Charles Darwin said.

31
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
He wondered why we do not see countless transitional forms in fossils.

32
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
He then said that if these transitional fossils cannot be found,

33
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
if every fossil is identical to its counterparts living today,

34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000
then no species evolved and evolution does not exist.

35
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
And every fossil is indeed identical to members of the species living today.

36
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Or else, if the species has since become extinct,

37
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
if the first known specimen is documented to be identical

38
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
to how the specimens looked before becoming extinct,

39
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
if something that Charles Darwin did not want to see is documented,

40
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
then that will be the greatest possible objection to my theory, he says.

41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And indeed, all fossils do look the same and no change has taken place within species.

42
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Paleontology explicitly shows us that Charles Darwin was mistaken.
