HARUN YAHYA 27

studying the animal. Yet all flies have had this perfect structure
since they were first created, for, like all the other living things,
they are miracles created by Allah, matchless marvels of creation
that amaze one the more one researches and studies them.
Scientists lack the knowledge and technology to install 8,000
lenses into an area just a few millimeters in size and to enable each
one to see. None of them can produce a nervous system
that will permit these lenses to perceive light and then
make that perception visible in such a perfect way.
Given these facts, could such a flawless structure have

emerged by chance?
The answer is “of course not,” for chance cannot give rise
to even one of a fly’s 8,000 lenses or even a single protein of
these lenses’ countless cells. Only Almighty Allah, Who
sees and observes all entities at all times, creates all be-
ings with their perfect details, equips a tiny fly with
such miraculous abilities, and bestows reason and
conscience on human beings so that they can com-
prehend and reflect on these matters, can create in
such a manner:
O humanity, an example has been made, so listen
to it carefully. Those whom you call upon besides
Allah are not even able to create a single fly, even if
they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals some-
thing from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are
both the seeker and the sought! (Surat al-Hajj, 73)
