Abstract
Darwin’s species evolution hypothesis and its challenges are important topics of the Theology .all organisms, under the influence of various environmental factors, have changed from one or more simple types to various forms, and with gradual movement, they have become more complete.One of the challenges of this hypothesis of is denial in the form of finalism in the natural world. this hypothesis shakes the conventional interpretations of the proof of order and negates the fixed and hierarchical order of the world and fights with the world's plans.This research criticizes this challenge with the descriptive, analytical and critical method, while describing the evolution hypothesis and the proof of order,based on the ontological foundations of transcendental wisdom such as the essential movement and the essential dynamic movement.On the basis of the essential movement, to proving the need of the world for its existence and identity to the Creator, Mulla Sadra shows that the institution of all beings is the same as water, and all beings move from their innermost self towards the first origin. although environmental factors and have an effect on the change and development of events in the form of underlying causes, the order of phenomena is the result of their active and ultimate cause. to being God's creation, creatures are in need of the Supreme Being at every moment, and all the affairs of existence, from the rules that govern it to the interactions of creatures, are all done by God's power, and God is the end of creatures.
