How did it happen?

    Would you believe a man if he tells you that there is a
 store which is running smoothly but has no salesman,
storekeeper or someone to look after it?  Or would you
believe him if he told you that the chair in front of you
assumed its present form all by itself?

The Rain Tells

    Now, if there is no way to persuade you that an
ordinary store could run without a storekeeper or a
 salesman, or that a chair could assume its form without a
carpenter's skill, could you possibly accept the thesis that
 the universe is without a creator or master?  In the
wonderful scheme of the universe, with countless living
creatures, the sun, moon, stars, and planets function with
the utmost precision.  Vapor rises from the oceans and turns
into clouds/ the winds blow there clouds in the distant
corners of the earth, then the vapor condenses into water
and falls on the earth as rain which brings dead soil to
life and helps the growth of various kinds of grains and
other crops, and different varieties of fruits and flowers.
  The fruits have different flavors, thought they grow in
the same place, using the same water.
    Now, could any sensible person believe that this vast
integrated system sprang into existence and runs without a
master or governor?
    We do not hesitate to dismiss a person as lunatic who
consider that a thing as insignificant and small as a chair
or a piece of cloth came into existence by itself; should we
then agree with someone who states that the earth sprang
into existence automatically, the animals came to life by
themselves and even the most wonderful and complicated of
the living beings-the human being- came into existence
without a creator?  Look at the human body and the millions
of systems and sub-systems working with the most wonderful
cooperation and packed most efficiently in that small body.


The Embryo Witness

    Have you ever pondered how the human fetus forms and
develops in the tiny workshop of its mother's womb?  At a
moment of which neither the father nor the mother is aware,
two small lifegerms unite then in nine months, they develop
into several organs and part fo the human body in the
appropriate places.  Every part, large or small is precisely
where it should be.  Only a person out of his wits could say
that this wonderful system of life came into being, and has
continued for countless generations without a Wise, Powerful
 Being possessing vast knowledge and unrivalled powers of
creation.

Impossibility

    Suppose an earthquake occurs and all the different
solutions in a lab fall and mix together.  It would be a
very strange coincidence if such a mixture produces a new
medicine that cures a certain disease.
    Now let us look at the probability of forming a protein
molecule assuming that all the elements are already in
existence.  The Swiss mathematician Charles Eugene Jai
calculated this probability.  He took the protein molecule
as his sample, but he simplified the case by considering his
 molecule to contain 2,000 atoms instead of 34,500 and to
consist of two types of atoms instead of four major ones.
The value of probability is determined by the size of the
material necessary for such a reaction to take place and he
 found that the probability of forming that simplified
protein molecule was approximately 1/2 X 10 to the 321.  The
size of the material necessary for that almost zero
probability was a sphere whose diameter was approximately 6
X 10 to the 176 miles and this sphere is approximately 10 to
the 63 times the imagined size of the universe.  He found
also that the tie necessary for such a molecule to form was
10 to the 243 billion years which is by far greater than the
hypothesized age of the earth which is only two billion
years.  So the size and time factor would make it impossible
even to form one protein molecule.

The Thinking Process Proves

    As the computer needs a program to run, a human being
needs previous information to produce a thought.  Who put
that initial information in a human being's mind?

One Principal

    Have you ever heard of a school with two principals, or
 a department with two chairpersons, or an army with two
commanders-in-chief or a country with two presidents?  In
any event could any institution under a dual control be run
effectively?  Look at the millions of planets and starts:
their conduct and movement show extremely strict adherence
to a certain uniform set of rules and regulations.  Their
distances and directions in relation to one another are set
 and even the slightest alteration of this scheme will upset
 the whole system and cause chaos.
    The rules they are abiding by are so uniform that we
research to find mathematical formulas describing them.  If
the universe had been governed by several or even two gods,
its affairs could not possibly have been run so regularly
and efficiently and we would have seen the chaos stemming
from contradicting orders and rules.  If even a small school
 cannot accept two principals at a time, how could the vast
realms of the heaven be run by more than one Sovereign?
    Now when God is the sovereign of the universe, is it
not logical that you submit willingly to His commands and
 model your life according to the way of life He set for
mankind?  You can find that way of life explained fully in
Islam.
