UNIVERSAL EVIDENCE OF GOD AND THE HEREAFTER in the body structure of cats and tigers, goats and giraffes, and humans and monkeys. Based on these similarities, Darwin hypothesized that, according to natural selection, an evolutionary process had occurred through which one species was automatically transformed into another. However, Darwin’s explanation of the similarities among different species was questionable. The fact is that these similarities indicate variety rather than affirming some hypothetical evolutionary process. Various life forms are visible to us, so the concept of variety is established independently. However, in contrast, we do not see one species turning into another, nor any intermediate species present in fossilized or any other forms. Thus, the Darwinian concept of the evolution of species is mere speculation; there is no solid proof supporting it. When I explained this to him, he agreed with me. I concluded that now it is well-established in science that the inferential argument is as valid as the direct argument. As nothing is now observable in the scientific sense, the existence of anything can be established only using the inferential argument, not the direct argument. And if the inferential argument is valid about the unseen micro-world, it is also valid concerning the existence of God and other religious truths.
