chance alone. To one who has seen marvellous ‹ ›mplexity and yet the pervading order in organic chemistry -- especially that in living systems -- the idea of chance is repugnant to the extreme. The more one studies the science of molecular structure and interrelation, the more one is convinced of the necessity of a planner and designer of it all. . . . . . The simplest man-made mechanism requires a planner and a maker. How a mechanism ten thousand times more involved and intricate can be conceived of as self-constructed and self-developed is completely beyond me. (Evidence p. 176). The Promised Messiah, peace be on him, says so beautifully:. Wonderful indeed is the manifestation of Thy power, my Dear, in every direction. . No matter in which direction we look, We get a vision of Thee! 13. Scientists strive to discover the laws of nature. The very fact that laws exist shows that there is a Maker of laws. Dr. John Cleveland Corthren, professor of Chemistry' University of Minnesote, says:. The study of matter and energy . . . . . . consistently has shown in the past and still continues to show that the behaviour of even insensible matter is not at all haphazard but on the contrary 'obeys' definite natural laws. (Evidence p. 38). He Further says:. Can any informed and reasoning intellect possibly believe that insensible matter just chanced to originate itself and all this system, then chanced to impose this system upon itself, whereafter this system just chances to remain imposed? Surely, the answer is 'No'. (Evidence p. 41). In short as Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him) has written:. The study of the system of the universe emphatically leads man to the conclusion that this world has not come into existence by itself; on the contrary it has come into being with the will of a Supreme. Being and through His Power. (Hamara Khuda p. 65). I visited Italy in the year 1985. On the first of October 1985, the present. Head of our Community, Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih IV, visited the city of Verona in Italy and the Nobel Laureate Professor. Abdus Salam gave a grand reception in his honour in the best hotel. . Huzur (Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV) illuminated us with his comments on !
