In the absence of this duo, Jupiter’s huge mass would cause great
instability to inner planets like Mercury and Venus; with the re-
sult that their orbits would approach one another closer and

closer. This in turn would force Mercury out of the solar system
and alter the orbit of Venus. Scientists developed a computer
model of the solar system, clearly revealing that the order and
consistency preserved for billions of years was only possible only
by the ideal mass and positioning of planets within the solar sys-
tem. With the slightest change to the existing order within this
system, our solar system, including the Earth, could not exist.
The Astronomical Journal described the extraordinary design
inherent in our solar system in its November, 1998 issue:

Our basic finding is nevertheless an indication of the need for
some sort of rudimentary "design" in the solar system to ensure
long-term stability… 29
In short, our solar system’s structure has been designed
specifically for human life. God reveals His miraculous Creation
in many verses of the Qur’an and commands us to ponder them:

He has made night and day subservient to you, and the Sun
and Moon and stars, all subject to His command. There are
certainly Signs in that for people who use their intellect.
(Qur’an, 16:12)
