HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)


               … They have hearts with which they do not understand. They
               have 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. (Surat al-A'raf,

               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!" (Surat al-Hijr, 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 explanation for people from all over the world believing
             that unconscious and lifeless atoms suddenly decided to come
             together and form a universe 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, in the Qur'an Allah relates the incident of the Prophet
             Moses (as) 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 the Prophet Moses
             (as) to meet with his own magicians. When the Prophet Moses (as)
             did so, he told them to demonstrate their abilities first. The verses
             continue:
