Views of Scientists on the Existence of God — Page 10
10 underlie the universe that it cannot be said that all these are accidental. In this connection, first I would like to quote an illuminating passage from the Commentary of the Holy Quran by Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din. Mahmood Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him) and then give the views of the scientists. The Holy Quran says:. Are you harder to create or the heaven that He has made? (79:28). Commenting on this verse, he says:. Almighty Allah always puts forward the system of the universe as a proof of His existence and says that does not this magnificent system show you that the hand of a Creater is working in it? Every piece of it is dependent on another. Nothing in it is independent. Scientists say that this world resulted from the combination of atoms; through the union of the atoms this wonderful universe came into existence. We agree that various atoms united just in the ri ht way so that our need here today is adequately fulfilled by an arrangement made miles and miles away. We do agree that the atoms' niter to form this world but if there were no God of this world, how id it happen that the atoms united in just the right fashion so as satisfy the need of man and in the place that was appropriate for sa sfying his need. The encounters of the atoms could be accidental br. the mutual encounters taking place in such a way as to satis y every need of man cannot be accidental. . We have to admit that behind this universe some other Being is working. If we see leather we may say that it has come here by chance, but if see a boot marie from that leather and if we see the same placed on sofas and chairs and stairway for decoration we cannot say that all this is accidental. Thus a complete system cannot be called accidental; an individual object may surely be called accidental. We also see that on one hand, Almighty God created the eye and bestowed on it the property that it cannot see without light, and on the other hand, He created the sun many millions of miles away from us so that it may enable the eye to see the things around it. The same situation holds for the other needs of man. There is no need of man which is natural for which Almighty Allah has not made arrangement for its fulfilment. Some needs are such that Almighty. Allah has made arrangement for or their fulfilment within the person himself others are such that Almighty Allah has made arrangement for their fulfilment in the immediate environment, and yet others are such that Almighty Allah has made arrangement for their fulfilment at a distance of many millions of miles. In short,
