CHAPTER One 25 exclusively divine attribute to human beings, amounts to cutting at the very root of both reason and faith. Now that it has been established with powerful and unequivocal arguments that no act of man is peerless, and all the works of God and all that emanates from Him is without equal, if you still refuse to trust this perfect inductive argument that has been derived from an exhaus- tive study of the divine laws of nature, then you had better stop laying any claims to reason or the laws of nature; and shred and cast into a river all your useless books of logic and philosophy. Do you not feel ashamed when you assert that even a disgusting common housefly is so perfect and unique in its outer appearance and inner structure that it points towards God as its Creator, yet you claim that God’s Word cannot be so unique in its eloquence that when one looks at it one is convinced that its being from God stands proven. O you the mindless! And O you the destitute of reason! Do you consider the lucidity and eloquence of the Word of God lower than, and its excellence inferior to, the wings and legs of a housefly.

In fact, you dis- pute and argue that although no man has so far been able to match it, what is the proof that in future he will not have this ability. O ignorant ones!

You admit that these words, like their meanings, emanate from the very mouth of God, yet you do not even equate them to the saliva that comes out of the mouth of a bee. In other words, you believe man to be incapable of producing honey, yet capable of creating the
