22 ALLAH'S ART OF DETAIL

This shield has protected Earth for billions of years from these
rays’ deadly effects. If the atmosphere were to stop functioning,
could another protective shield be established to replace it? Is there
any other method of protecting human beings from potentially le-
thal rays and blazing heat? The answers to both questions is “no,”
for no human power or technology could devise such a flawless
system. This being the case, how could anyone logically expect
a new atmosphere to come into being by chance?
Nobody whose powers of reason are fully func-
tional and who has a conscience could even ad-

mit the possibility of this flawless work com-
ing into being by chance. There would also
be no time for such a waiting period,
since life would come to an end in the
very first moment. In other words,
our planet’s atmosphere is part of
Almighty and All-Powerful Allah’s
magnificent artistry, He Who re-
veals His greatness at all times and
in all events:
We placed firmly embedded
mountains on Earth so it
would not move under
them, and put broad val-
leys as roadways in it so
that, perhaps, they might
be guided. We made the
sky a preserved and pro-
tected roof, yet still they
turn away from Our Signs.
(Surat al-Anbiya’, 31-32)
