Resilience of Plants and Seeds

are even consciously aware that adverse conditions after germinating
will restrict their growth. They know what to do to halt their develop-
ment when they sense these conditions, and continue to develop when
the temperature reaches the desired level.
Of course such assertions are nonsense. The seeds themselves do
not do these things. It is not possible for a piece of cellulose to possess
intelligence and knowledge, to be able to predict and plan accordingly.
Thus it is hardly feasible to explain this extraordinary mechanism in
seeds as the product of coincidence, as evolutionary theory seeks to do.
Seeds are specially created with these characteristics by God to with-
stand harsh conditions.
There can be no doubt that in seeds, God, Lord of the worlds, dis-
plays signs of His existence and His supreme creation. When God
wills, what He wills is created in uniqueness. He alone creates.
That is God, your Lord. There is no deity but Him, the Creator of
everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything.
Eyesight cannot perceive Him but He perceives eyesight. He is the
All-Penetrating, the All-Aware. (Qur’an, 6:102-103)
