00:00.000 --> 00:24.000
Today, we are in the company of a 350 million year old sun coral fossil.

00:24.000 --> 00:26.000
You are now seeing it close up.

00:26.000 --> 00:29.000
It is a fossil that was found in Morocco.

00:29.000 --> 00:34.000
And of course, it exhibits the same characteristics as sun corals living today.

00:34.000 --> 00:38.000
Its entire anatomy and everything are exactly the same.

00:38.000 --> 00:44.000
Now, we can say that corals' outer shells, or outer parts, are their skeletal structures.

00:44.000 --> 00:47.000
Their skeletons contain large quantities of minerals,

00:47.000 --> 00:53.000
and these minerals are what gives rise to structures like rocks and even the coral reefs of today.

00:53.000 --> 00:56.000
Each one is a separate organism.

00:56.000 --> 01:00.000
What you see in my hand is a fossilized sun coral.

01:00.000 --> 01:05.000
This is how they look in the oceans, too, and they look exactly the same today.

01:05.000 --> 01:08.000
But these organisms come together and build colonies.

01:08.000 --> 01:12.000
The result of these colonies are coral reefs.

01:12.000 --> 01:16.000
They are part of the group of living things that exhibit radial symmetry.

01:16.000 --> 01:21.000
In other words, when we take a vertical section of their bodies, no matter where we do this from,

01:21.000 --> 01:23.000
the result is two equal parts.

01:23.000 --> 01:27.000
And this reveals a manifestation of Allah symmetry in living things,

01:27.000 --> 01:32.000
because mathematics divides symmetry into a number of different groups.

01:32.000 --> 01:36.000
Radial symmetry can be seen in this life form, mashallah.

01:36.000 --> 01:40.000
Living things can even be classified according to their symmetries.

01:40.000 --> 01:43.000
These are part of the group with radial symmetry.

01:43.000 --> 01:48.000
After learning of this biological data, let us now move on to paleontology.

01:48.000 --> 01:54.000
A sun coral that was living in what is now Morocco 350 million years ago has been petrified

01:54.000 --> 01:57.000
and is sitting like a stone in my hand.

01:57.000 --> 02:01.000
When we compare it with a picture of the form that is living today,

02:01.000 --> 02:06.000
this sun coral has the same round structures and lines around it as present-day corals.

02:06.000 --> 02:11.000
We see that it is identical to them right down to the finest detail.

02:11.000 --> 02:17.000
These examinations show us that one life form does not turn into another.

02:17.000 --> 02:22.000
Therefore, what Charles Darwin said, his prophecy for the future if you will, was untrue.

02:22.000 --> 02:26.000
Let us remind ourselves of what Charles Darwin said.

02:26.000 --> 02:31.000
He wondered why we do not see countless transitional forms in fossils.

02:31.000 --> 02:35.000
He then said that if these transitional fossils cannot be found,

02:35.000 --> 02:38.000
if every fossil is identical to its counterparts living today,

02:38.000 --> 02:43.000
then no species evolved and evolution does not exist.

02:43.000 --> 02:48.000
And every fossil is indeed identical to members of the species living today.

02:48.000 --> 02:51.000
Or else, if the species has since become extinct,

02:51.000 --> 02:54.000
if the first known specimen is documented to be identical

02:54.000 --> 02:57.000
to how the specimens looked before becoming extinct,

02:57.000 --> 03:00.000
if something that Charles Darwin did not want to see is documented,

03:00.000 --> 03:05.000
then that will be the greatest possible objection to my theory, he says.

03:05.000 --> 03:10.000
And indeed, all fossils do look the same and no change has taken place within species.

03:10.000 --> 03:15.000
Paleontology explicitly shows us that Charles Darwin was mistaken.
