Page 121 - The Miracle In The Seed

veryone capable of reason and thought can see the lack of logic
in the evolutionist claim of chance forming living things. Let’s
E examine this fallacy with an analogy from daily life:
When you want to create the picture of a flower on your com-
puter, at your disposal there are various programs, which have been
developed by trained experts. Your computer is designed to use these
programs to let you color the flower and create patterns on it. By them-
selves, however, even the most advanced computer and the best pro-
gram available are not enough. Think back to basics: You also need to
switch on the computer, use the program and give the right commands
to create the image of the flower. No one viewing a picture on a com-
puter screen would ever imagine that the picture got there by itself.
Certainly it has been created by someone. It is also certain that the com-
puter has been constructed in a factory, and that all its parts have been
individually manufactured.
In the same way, it’s not possible that the plants in your yard, the
grass, the roses and trees in the gardens have come into being of their
own accord. Moreover, it is equally impossible for these plants to put
all their essential characteristics into their seeds and start reproducing
from these seeds, because all the information contained in seeds cer-
tainly requires intelligence and knowledge.
It is a Supreme Power that loads the information into seeds of di-
verse structure, gives them their shape, installs their coats and protec-
tive membranes, and enables them to grow into plants perfect in every
respect. This power is that of God, Lord of all the worlds, Who knows
all things. God creates all plants, shapes them, gives them their smell,
taste and color. In a verse of the Qur’an, God makes this known to us:
And soaring date-palms with layered spathes, as provision for Our
servants; by it We brought a dead land to life. That is how the
Emergence will take place. (Qur’an, 50:10-11)
