Page 87 - Solution, the values of the Qurʼan
P. 87
Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 85
Modern science directly implies that the world is organized strictly in
accordance with mechanistic principles. There are no purposive principles
whatsoever in nature. There are no gods and no designing forces that are
rationally detectable... Second, modern science directly implies that there are
no inherent moral or ethical laws, no absolute guiding principles for human
society. Thirdly, human beings are marvelously complex machines. The
individual human becomes an ethical person by means of two primary
mechanisms: heredity and environmental influences. That is all there is.
Fourth, we must conclude that when we die, we die and that is the end of us... 11
As this scientist, a materialist himself, puts it, disbelief allows no faith
in the hereafter. People simply believe they will perish with death. This
perverted belief of disbelievers is related in the Qur'an as follows:
What is there but our life in this world? We die and we live and we will not
be raised again. (Surat al-Muminun: 37)
Those not believing in the resurrection from the dead observe no limits
and see no harm in immorality. For these people, there is no reason a man
should exert his willpower. This is why disbelief is the foremost reason
accounting for moral degeneration, as is also affirmed by the
aforementioned words of Prof. Provine. The distorted thoughts and
moral values of a disbeliever are evident in these words.
It also deserves mention that not everyone engaging in immorality
does this having Darwinism or materialism in mind. However, one
should remember that these ideologies, and their disbelieving mentors,
instill these distorted notions into the minds of people and, consequently
the majority of people feel greedily attached to this life rather than
leading their lives with the hereafter in mind.
The understanding of those of the '60s generation who seized upon
sensual liberation was also a consequence of seeing no limits to behavior.
They are remembered for all forms of immorality such as free sex, drugs,
arrogant independence and rebellion. Three decades later, today, many of
those '60s iconoclasts are either ruling countries or teaching at schools.
The parents who raised today's youth also belong to the same generation.
Today, we observe an immorality that is almost unprecedented in world
