The Structure Of The Atom

The superior design
in the formation of
colours leads us to a
single fact: the uni-
verse has been creat-
ed in a great harmony
and order from its
smallest to its largest
particles. The artistry
in the colours is one
of the signs of Allah's
perfect
creation.

during the process by absorbing photons. They then go back to their original
orbits. During this action, colours perceivable by the human eye are formed.
What's more, atoms in number expressible in trillions keep doing this every
moment, thanks to which we are able to view an uninterrupted "image".
This magnificent mechanism is not comparable to the operation of any
man-made machine. A clock, for instance, has a highly complex mechanism
in itself, and all the parts of a clock (gears, discs, screws, nuts, etc.) must be
located in the right places in the right way for a clock to work properly. The
smallest problem in this mechanism would impede the mechanism of the
clock. Yet, when we think of the structure of an atom and how the above-
mentioned mechanism of the electrons works, the simplicity of the structure
of a clock is better understood. As we said, the mechanism of the electrons is
too complex, perfect and flawless to be compared to any man-made system.
Definitely, a system that has such mind-boggling complexity and runs so
perfectly could not have come about spontaneously, as a result of coinciden-
ce, as claimed by materialist scientists. Let us now ask the following questi-
on: if you saw a working clock on the ground while walking in a desert, wo-
uld you think that this had formed out of dust, sand, soil and stones by chan-
ce? Nobody would think that, because the design and wisdom in the clock
are all too obvious. However the design and wisdom in a single atom are, as
we mentioned above, incomparably superior to those in any man-made
mechanism. The owner of this wisdom is Allah, Who has supreme knowled-
