Page 109 - The Creation Of The Universe

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 107

- if smaller: advanced life functions would proceed too slowly

Carbon dioxide and water vapor levels in atmosphere;
- if greater: runaway greenhouse effect would develop
- if less: greenhouse effect would be insufficient

Ozone level in Atmosphere;
- if greater: surface temperature would be too low
- if less: surface temperatures would be too high; there would be too
much uv radiation at the surface

Seismic Activity;
- if greater: too many life-forms would be destroyed
- if less: nutrients on ocean floors (from river runoff) would not be re-
cycled to the continents through tectonic uplift. 64

These are just some of the features that the Earth has to have in order
for life to exist and survive. But even these are enough to show that the
Earth did not come into being as a result of chance nor was it formed as a
result of a lucky chain of events.
These and a myriad other details reaffirm a plain and simple truth: Allah
and Allah alone created the universe, the stars, planets, mountains, and
seas perfectly, giving life to human beings and other living things, and plac-
ing His creations under the control of mankind. Allah and Allah alone, the
source of mercy and might, is powerful enough to create something from
nothingness.
This perfect Creation of Allah is described in the Qur'an thus:
Are you stronger in structure or is heaven? He built it. He raised
its vault high and made it level. He darkened its night and
brought forth its morning light. After that He smoothed out the
earth and brought forth from it its water and its pastureland and
made the mountains firm for you and for your livestock to en-
joy. (Surat an-Nazi'at: 27-33)
