then used it. Likewise, the cell, DNA and the RNAs in it, and the human
being made up of these cells are nothing but the works of the One who
created them as well as what they do. No matter how perfect, complete
and striking the work is, the wisdom always lies with the owner of the
work.
If you saw one meaningful sentence in your notebook on the table,
you would be curious to know who wrote it. You would never think that
the notebook and the pen or the ink came together with the effect of the
wind and wrote this sentence. In DNA, we are talking about billions of
pieces of information each of which is crucial for a human being.
So, why don't we ask the same question about the cell? If the
information in the notebook or the computer was written by someone,
then who "wrote" DNA, which has a far superior and more advanced
technology, is designed in the most perfect manner, created, and placed in
the tiny cell, which, by itself, is another miracle? Besides, to date it has not
lost any of the properties which it has had for thousands of years. What
can be more important for you than to question by whom and why these
cells, that function non-stop so that you may read these lines, see, breathe,
think, in brief, exist and continue to exist, have been brought into being?
Is not the answer to this question that which, in life, you must
wonder about most? One sees great design, planning and order, from the
sun in the sky to the DNA in one's body. To think that any of these things
could be the work of chance is an unacceptable claim, one that is
impossible to take seriously.
No Design Can Happen by Chance
You must have seen the name of a building spelt out in flowers on
the ground in front of it. Looking down at them or from far away, you can
immediately make out the name of the building or company concerned.
That is a sign that the flowers are not there by chance, that they have been
set out by gardeners and landscape designers. You may not see the
gardeners actually doing it, but you can see that it has happened from the
name the flowers spell out.
