parent. Were it not for the double lens structure, if there were only
the upper lens unit composed of calcite, the trilobite would be una-
ble to see under water, and its eyes would serve no purpose. If the
intermediate surface between the calcite and chitin units were dif-
ferent from that calculated by Huygens and Descartes, then light
could not be focused so accurately. Or if there were any more or few-
er magnesium atoms set out along the course of that surface, then
the lenses could not correct the light refraction. Even if all the other
conditions had been met, the eye would still be unable to serve any
useful purpose.
This sequence of miracles inevitably raises a number of impor-
tant questions:
How did the trilobite acquire this optic system? How did cal-
cite come to form lenses so perfectly installed in the animal’s eyes?
How did the chitin and magnesium atoms come to be arranged in
the right combinations beneath these lenses? How did the designs
by Huygens and Descartes—among an infinite number of possible
mathematical variables, the only ones that could give rise to such
sensitive vision—come to be integrated in the eye?
Could all this have taken place by chance? Or could a trilobite
have realized that it needed such an eye and have developed it by
itself, by performing the requisite mathematical calculations?
Of course, the trilobite eye is not the product of the trilobite’s
own doing or of chance mutations. Clearly, lightning striking an ob-
servatory will damage the telescopes inside rather than turning
them into more advanced devices.
The trilobite can only be the bearer, the exhibitor of all these
flawless features. No doubt this sublime creation belongs to Allah,
Lord of the worlds. The trilobite eye is a work in which Allah exhib-
its His sublime artistry in all its magnificence. Allah is the flawless
Creator, and brought trilobites and all other living things into being
