Page 83 - The Creation Of The Universe

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 81

To put it briefly, the structure of the solar system was specially created
for mankind to live.
Let us also consider the place of solar system in the universe. Our solar
system is located in one of the huge spiral arms of the Milky Way, closer
to the edge than to the center. What advantage could there be in that? In
Nature's Destiny, Michael Denton explains:
What is so striking is that the cosmos appears to be not just supremely
fit for our own being and for our biological adaptations, but also for
our understanding... Because of the position of our solar system on the
edge of the galactic rim, we can gaze farther into the night to distant
galaxies and gain knowledge of the overall structure of the cosmos.
Were we positioned in the center of a galaxy, we would never look on
the beauty of a spiral galaxy nor would we have any idea of the struc-
ture of our universe. 53
In other words, even Earth's location in the galaxy is evidence that it
was intended for mankind to live on, no less than are all the other physics
laws of the universe.
It is the plain truth that the universe is created and arranged by Allah.
The reason that some people cannot understand this point is their own
prejudice. But any objective mind without prejudice will easily understand
that the universe is created and organized for mankind to live in, just as is
revealed:
We did not create heaven and earth and everything in between
them to no purpose. That is the opinion of those who are un-
believers… (Surah Sad: 27)
This deep understanding is revealed in yet another verse of the Qur'an:
In the Creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation
of night and day, there are signs for people with intelligence:
those who remember Allah, standing, sitting and lying on their
sides, and reflect on the Creation of the heavens and the earth:
‘Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory to You!"
(Surah Al 'Imran: 190-191)
