Therefore, there must be an enormous increase in complexity of ge-
netic information for any transition from a single-celled to multi-
celled form.
Computer programs, to use an analogy, are written by thou-
sands of people and then tested. The genomic complexity in multi-
celled organisms is far more complex than any program written by
human beings. No doubt that a program that cannot be produced by
even the most highly advanced technology, and its sudden appear-
ance in the DNA of Cambrian life forms millions of years ago, can-
not be explained in terms of chance. That would be like claiming
that the highest computer technologies achieved so far could result
from a lightning strike on a pile of scrap metal.
In other words, it would be nonsensical. Therefore, it’s com-
pletely irrational to resort to claims of aimless natural phenomena to
explain the origins of Cambrian life forms.
A computer program requires an outside consciousness—in
other words, a computer engineer—to bring it into being. It’s certain
that the complexity in Cambrian life forms, unmatched by the most
advanced computer programs, can be explained only by the exis-
tence of an omniscient Creator. The genomic complexity of
Cambrian life forms was created by Almighty Allah, Lord of the
worlds, and not by chance.
The Trilobite: A Flawless Cambrian Life Form
Stephen Jay Gould has described this as “everyone’s favourite
invertebrate fossil,” because the trilobites were uniquely attractive

creatures, the best preserved member of the marine arthropods,
with a sculpted appearance and dazzling complexity. With their
eyes consisting of many lenses and a perfect structure allowing
them to see and hunt, and their ability to swim and feed in the silent
