Harun Yahya

eyes with which they do not see. They have ears with which they
do not hear. Such people are like cattle. No, they are even further
astray! They are the unaware. (Qur'an, 7:179)

Even if We opened up to them a door into heaven, and they spent

the day ascending through it, they would only say: "Our eyesight
is befuddled! Or rather we have been put under a spell!" (Qur'an,
15:14-15)
Words cannot express just how astonishing it is that this spell

should hold such a wide community in thrall, keep people from the
truth, and not be broken for 150 years. It is understandable that one or
a few people might believe in impossible scenarios and claims full of
stupidity and illogicality. However, "magic" is the only possible expla-
nation for people from all over the world believing that unconscious
and lifeless atoms suddenly decided to come together and form a uni-

verse that functions with a flawless system of organization, discipline,
reason, and consciousness; a planet named Earth with all of its features
so perfectly suited to life; and living things full of countless complex
systems.
In fact, the Qur'an relates the incident of Prophet Moses (pbuh) and
Pharaoh to show that some people who support atheistic philosophies
actually influence others by magic. When Pharaoh was told about the
true religion, he told Prophet Moses (pbuh) to meet with his own magi-
cians. When Moses (pbuh) did so, he told them to demonstrate their

abilities first. The verses continue:

He said: "You throw." And when they threw, they cast a spell on the
people's eyes and caused them to feel great fear of them. They pro-
duced an extremely powerful magic. (Qur'an, 7:116)
