Phenomenal. From Chapter 1 of "The Atheism Delusion":
"Dr. Umar Sulaiman Ashqar, in his book Al-Aqeeda fi Allah [Belief in God], begins by explaining his understanding of Darwin’s theory, or the theory of evolution:
Darwin’s explanation of the process of evolution:
Natural Selection: Elimination factors cause the weak and frail beings to perish and the strong ones to survive. They call this law 'Survival of the Fittest', so the strong and healthy creature survives, and passes... its strong traits to its offspring. With time, the strong traits gather to make a new trait in the organism. This is “abiogenesis” that makes the being with these primary traits evolve into a higher organism. In this manner, evolution continues to occur, and that is progression (Ashqar 1999, 85. Arabic source, translated).
Response: Abiogenesis is a theory that explains the origin of the first replicators and how they emerged on Earth. It has nothing to do with the traits of organisms or the law of natural selection. It deals with how the first protein, or the first self-replicator, representing the simplest origin of life, came into existence. In regards to organisms evolving and carrying new traits during the process of evolution, this is not abiogenesis. It is actually the process of evolution and development, while the appearance of a new organism that expresses enough traits to separate it from its relatives during the process of evolution is called speciation and diversification.
Wonders never cease with people like Ashqar, who delve into a science they know nothing about. He is not even capable of distinguishing abiogenesis from evolution, or development from speciation, yet he says the theory of evolution is false, and sets out to refute it!"
"Analogous to the shepherd who takes his sheep out to graze when other shepherds return at sunset, we find the curious case of the prominent Wahhabi scholars* in the second half of the twentieth century that relates to Galileo, though I doubt they know anything about Galileo. If they did, they would have accused him of being the biggest infidel because he differs with them in saying that Earth orbits. Their story is composed of religious rulings that reflect total ignorance. ...After man went to the moon in the twentieth century and the astronauts brought back images of Earth rotating, to the Wahhabi scholars it is very clear: Earth never rotates!"
*Ibn Baz, Ibn Uthaymeen, and the likes of them (my note, but they are also mentioned in the book, along with their quoted statements).
