n our day-to-day lives, we come across wonders of design.
I For example, the bridge we walk across, the skyscraper we

work in, elevators, knives and forks, a crocheted tablecloth,
our clothing, car, briefcase and eyeglasses, newspapers, tele-
vision and the pictures on our wall—each of these things
was planned, designed and produced by someone of intelligence, knowl-
edge and skill. No one in his right mind would claim that these finely
crafted objects in our streets and houses brought themselves into existence
by a natural happenstance.
Most likely you don't personally know which engineers, techni-
cians, and workers constructed the bridge you walk across every day, but
you are certain that there had to be such people as these. When you see a
late model car that you like, you appreciate its designers—even if you
never meet them.
So, anywhere we find a product of a planned design, we can always
be sure that somewhere, there has been a designer who brought that
product into being. But in this matter, Darwinists are prejudiced. Some
people, although they are not scientists, maintain that all the superior de-
signs we see in nature, much more wonderful than the ordinary artificial
constructions we encounter in everyday life, were formed by chance.
They have been conditioned—if not instructed—not to believe in
Almighty God, the Creator of all the designs found in the universe. As
God says in the Qur'an (7: 179): "... They have hearts they do not under-
stand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They have ears they
do not hear with."
