Among the evidence that refutes the theory of evolution is the fact
that salmon cover thousands of kilometers and risk their own lives
to spawn.
Evolutionists claim that all creatures are always in a struggle with
each other and that only the strong survive at the end of it.
However, there is also co-operation among living creatures, con-
trary to evolutionists’ assertions. Animals risk their own lives for
their offspring. Besides, as you will see in the examples given in the
following pages, there are different species that associate with and
benefit each other. The salmon is merely one of the creatures that
display self-sacrificing behavior for their offspring. Salmon that mi-
grate and manage to reach the place to spawn, which are very
small in number, will die soon after they produce their spawn. Yet
they never give up their journey. Such self-sacrificing behavioral pat-
terns cannot by any means be explained by the theory of evolution.
The fact is evident. Allah created salmon and these creatures behave
in the way that Allah inspires in them. People who use their intellect
draw conclusions from such behavior of
animals. Allah reminds us to do so in
the Qur’an:
There is no creature He does not hold
by the forelock… (Surah Hud: 56)
