HARUN YAHYA

that is also right place for you. Assuming be-
forehand that you will have to return, you
try to keep in mind every characteristic of
this place, taking note of its
smells, the environ-
ment’s natural fea-
tures, even the magnetic
field of the region. When you return
to this place, you bring all this
recorded information into play. In
doing so, of course, your physiologi-
cal system cannot only determine the
magnetic field of the place, but you can
also work out what your right environment

should be by identifying these characteristics.
Of course it is impossible to do all this without the help of tech-
nological devices. It is equally unreasonable to imagine that turtles
can do the same on their own.
In spite of more than thirty years of research, turtles’ naviga-
tional mechanisms are still not clearly understood. Even if we knew
how they manage to do this, obviously their system could not have
developed of its own accord. God creates everything in the universe
and manifests His eternal intelligence in every corner of the universe.
God gives whomever He desires of His eternal knowledge to the ex-
tent that He wills. Those who deny God can find no other explana-
tion, even if they research for their entire lifetime. It is revealed in the
Qur’an that there is no other deity:
Your deity is God alone, there is no deity but Him. He en-
compasses all things in His knowledge. (Qur’an, 20:98)
