They apply the lack of purpose that ma-
terialism ascribes to matter to themselves,
imagining that there is no reason for their
existence on—or departure from—the
Earth. Since they are unable to see and be-

alism has eliminated that pretext and revealed full proof of the ex-
istence of Allah.
Particle physicist Stephen M. Barr expresses this:

Science has taken us on just such an adventure. Armed not with
weapons but with telescopes and particle accelerators, and speaking
by the signs and symbols of recondite mathematics, it has brought us
to many strange shores and shown us alien and fantastic landscapes.
But as we scan the horizon, near the end of the voyage, we have be-
gun to recognize first one and then another of the old familiar land-
marks and outlines of our ancestral home. The search for truth al-
ways leads us, in the end, back to God. 30
Believing that there can be direct experience of matter as it ex-

the world only through our perceptions. It is impossible for us ever
to make direct contact with the actual material world outside. The
universe is not timeless and eternal, but had a beginning and will
have an end. There is no “aimlessness” at any point throughout
the universe, as materialists claim. The entire universe
