What is the stance of Islam on the Natural Selection Theory? "Atheism a Giant Leap of Faith" by Dr. Raida Jarrar.

Some of Darwin's followers, who used to consider the natural selection (a physical and irrational process) a unique creative power that solves all the complicated developmental problems without resorting to any true experimental basis, later on discovered the complicated design of the structure and function of the bacterial cells. So, they started using expressions like "intelligent bacteria", "microbic intelligence", "decision making", and "bacteria for solving problems". Consequently, the bacteria became their new deity. [104]

The Almighty Creator clarified in His Book and through His Messenger that such acts, which are attributed to bacterial intelligence, occur according to the wisdom and will of the Lord of the worlds.

{Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Maintainer of everything.} [105] Surat az-Zumar: 62.

{Who created seven heavens one above another; you will not see any imperfection in the creation of the Most Compassionate. Look again; can you see any flaw?} [106] Surat al-Mulk: 3.

Allah Almighty also said:

{Indeed, We have created everything according to a determined measure.} [107] Surat al-Qamar: 49.

Atheists attribute terms like design, meticulous accuracy, the coded language, intelligence, intention, complicated systems, coherent laws, etc, to randomness and coincidence despite the fact that they have never acknowledged this. Scientists refer to the Creator by other names like "mother nature", "the universe laws", "natural selection" (Darwin's theory), etc. in an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the logic of religion and from the belief in the existence of a Creator.

{These [idols] are no more than names you and your forefathers have made up, for which Allah has not sent down any authority. They follow nothing but conjecture and what their souls desire, although there has come to them guidance from their Lord.} [108] Surat an-Najm: 23.

Using any name other than "Allah" negates some of His absolute attributes and incites more questions. For example,

In order to avoid mentioning Allah, the creation of universal laws and complicated and coherent systems are attributed to random nature, and man's vision and intelligence are attributed to a blind and foolish origin.
