58 THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE

There are three quite separate structures in this story–helium, berylli-
um, and carbon–and two quite separate resonances. It is hard to see
why these nuclei should work together so smoothly…Other nuclear re-
actions do not proceed by such a remarkable chain of lucky breaks…It
is like discovering deep and complex resonances between a car, a bi-
cycle, and a truck. Why should such disparate structures mesh
together so perfectly? Upon this our existence, and that of every life
form in the universe, depends. 36
In the years that followed it was discovered that other elements like oxy-
gen are also formed as a result of such amazing resonances. A zealous ma-
terialist, Fred Hoyle's discovery of these "extraordinary transactions" forced
him to admit in his book Galaxies, Nuclei and Quasars, that such double
resonances had to be the result of Creation and not coincidence. 37 In an-
other article he wrote:
If you wanted to produce carbon and oxygen in roughly equal quan-
tities by stellar nucleosynthesis, these are the two levels you would have
to fix, and your fixing would have to be just about where these levels
are actually found to be 38
And Hoyle continues saying that commonsense interpretation of the
above mentioned facts suggests that a super Intellect has created
physics, as well as chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind
forces worth speaking about in nature. He adds that "the numbers one cal-
culates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclu-
sion almost beyond question."
Hoyle declared that the inescapable conclusion of this plain truth should
not go unnoticed by other scientists.
I do not believe that any scientist who examined the evidence would
fail to draw the inference that the laws of nuclear physics have
been deliberately designed with regard to the consequences
they produce inside the stars. 39
This plain truth was expressed in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago. Allah in-
dicates the harmony in Creation of the heavens in the verse: Do you not
see how Allah created seven heavens in harmony… (Surah Nuh: 15)
