Page 48 - The Miracle in the Ant
P. 48

evolutionists that beneficial behaviour is selected in time and the re-
                    quired organs develop through mutations seem totally illogical. It is, of
                    course, no one other than Allah who gives this knowledge to the ants
                    from day one, and Who creates them with all these astonishing features.
                    It is Allah who is the "Creator" (Sani). The features of the Atta ants we
                    mention above set forth a picture we shall face frequently all through-
                    out this book. We are talking about a living being without the ability to
                    think, but which nevertheless achieves a great task displaying a tremen-
                    dous intellect. This is hard for man to conceive of.
                       Then, what does this all mean?
                       There is only one answer and it is a simple one: If this animal has no
                    capacity to think in order to enable it to do what it is doing, then its
                    show of intellect, in fact, introduces us somebody else’s Wisdom. The
                    Creator Who has caused the ant to exist is letting this animal do things
                    beyond its capacity to show His existence and superiority in His cre-
                    ation. The ant acts under Allah’s inspiration and the intellect it displays
                    is in fact, the Wisdom of Allah.
