90 plurality, which is beyond man’s comprehension, demands that there ought to be a Creator and Master of this universe who can hold this multitude together within a single organisation. By con- trast, God is believed to be one and unique, both by religion and by reason, and therefore needs no organiser. Second, there is variety in the universe; i. e. it is not a collection of one type of thing, but consists of innumerable things of distinct forms and types, each with its individual characteristics, orbiting in its own sphere and operating under separate laws. This variety also establishes the need for a Creator, Master, Omnipotent, and Organising Being who can align all of these innumerable variants operating under different laws on the string of a collective law. As for God, He is One, so there is no question of variety. Third, everything in this universe is subject to decline and change; i. e. nothing in this universe stays in one condition, but it is changing and decreasing its limited age all the time. That also proves that this universe does not exist on its own but is under the governance of a Higher Being. However, God is unchanging and unaffected by time and that is how it should be. Fourth, everything in the universe has a limit in terms of its capacity, natural tendencies, and sphere of action. Nothing in this world has even one attribute that is so perfect that it has no limi- tations or restrictions. This limitation of attributes and qualities is indicative of a Being who determines these limits; i. e. there exists a Being who has set boundaries and limitations on everything in this universe according to a law and who Himself is independent of all limitations. Fifth, nothing in the universe is self-sustaining, but rather, depends on others for its survival. Modern scientific research
