Page 14 - Consciousness in the Cell

CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL
power, wisdom and artistry are everywhere. Wherever we turn, we
come face to face with God's creations that move us to exalt Him
with glorification.
One reason why this book concentrates on the cell in particu-
lar is once again to present the truth to those who deny God by
claiming that life is only a result of coincidence. Living things are
too complex, too infinitely detailed to have come about as the result
of happenstance. It's clear that they were created by a superior
Mind and Power. Also, this book aims to explain the superiority
manifest in God's creation and to glorify Him thereby.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN, IN OTHER WORDS CREATION

In order to create, God has no need to design
It's important that the word "design" be properly understood.
That God has created a flawless design does not mean that He first
made a plan and then followed it. God, the Lord of the Earth and
the heavens, needs no "designs" in order to create. God is exalted
above all such deficiencies. His planning and creation take place at
the same instant.
Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for
Him just to say, "Be!"
As verses of the Qur'an tell us:
His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it,
"Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 36: 82)

[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth. When
He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it
is. (Qur'an, 2: 117)
