THE MIRACLE IN THE ATOM

atoms in various combinations, is born, is fed with atoms and grows up with
atoms. He then reads books made of atoms in a building made of atoms.
Later, he receives a diploma composed of atoms that says "nuclear engineer"
on it. Yet, he can still come and deliver speeches such as "these atoms have
come together as a result of sheer coincidence, and the extraordinary system

within them has formed by chance". If this is so, where does he derive the
consciousness, will and intelligence to deliver this speech?
In almost every page of this book, we saw repeatedly that it is impossib-
le for the atom making up every animate or inanimate thing in the universe,
to be itself formed by chance. What we will say to those who, despite all we
have told, still think that this phenomenon has come about by "chance" or
taken its present form through the mechanism of "trial and error" will be no
different from what the prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, said to the dis-
believers:
What about the one who argued with Ibrahim about his Lord, on the
basis that Allah had given him sovereignty? Ibrahim said, 'My Lord
is He who gives life and causes to die.' He said, 'I too give life and
cause to die.' Ibrahim said, 'Allah makes the sun come from the East.
Make it come from the West.' And the disbeliever was dumbfounded.
Allah does not guide wrongdoing people. (Surat al-Baqara: 258)

They said 'Glory be to You!

We have no knowledge except what
You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing,

the All-Wise.'
(Surat al-Baqara: 32)
