A A Chain of Miracles

C
Were the force of
gravity any weaker,
our Earth would es-
cape the gravitational
pull of the Sun and
drift off into space.
Were it just a little
stronger, we would
plunge into the Sun
and be destroyed.

gravitational forces would have caused the collapse of the uni-
verse within itself; a fraction smaller, and stars and galaxies
could not have formed in the first place.

Obviously, since we do exist on Earth, none of these nega-
tive possibilities has taken place. Every detail of the universe has
been designed and created according to a flawless plan, and in
perfect order. Almighty God has created the universe we live in
a series of extraordinary miracles and in unequalled harmony:

He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not
find any flaw in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look
again—do you see any gaps? Then look again and again.
Your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted!
(Qur’an, 67:3-4)
