Logical Arguments for the Existence of God 81 Likewise, I believe, those teachings of other revealed books that have been considered objectionable have been mostly misread and misunderstood. Their true meanings have not been understood. If there is anything objectionable, it is certainly the result of sub- sequent amendments; unfortunately, none of the revealed Books has escaped this with the exception of the Holy Quran. Even the staunchest adversaries admit that the Holy Quran is preserved in its original revealed form; therefore, we claim that no justifiable objection can be sustained against the statements of the Holy Quran. No scientific fact contradicts any of the Quranic teach- ings. This is impossible also because the Holy Quran is the Word of God, and nature—science being a description of nature—is the act of God. There cannot be any contradiction between the words and acts of God. Before concluding this discussion, it is particularly necessary to add that the notorious theory of Darwin is up till today merely a theory and not an established scientific fact, and many scien- tists have forcefully rejected it. The obituary of a world renowned scientist, Sir John Ambrose Fleming, which was published in newspapers, mentions that while Sir John was a very renowned scientist, he did not deny miracles and regarded Darwin’s theory of evolution as a mere figment of imagination. 1 Therefore, raising objections about the existence of God on the basis of this theory cannot be considered reasonable. 1.
