The Oxygen-Producing
Photosynthesis of Bacteria
Evolutionists’ claims that single-celled bacteria, are primitive
organisms are completely imaginary. Bacteria that achieve photo-
synthesis are one of the most important refutations of this claim. The
cyanobacterium has been performing photosynthesis for 3 billion
years, and there are systems in that bacterium whose workings are
still not fully understood.
Various species of bacteria don’t use water for photosynthesis;
instead they oxidize the organic and inorganic molecules around
them. Photosynthesis without oxygen remains a great mystery too,
for scientists who have yet fully understood photosynthesis with
oxygen.
There is also great wisdom appointed by Allah in creating such
different varieties of photosynthesis. Oxygen is indispensable for
marine and terrestrial creatures, and He has instituted matchless
systems for the production of oxygen in all environments.
Moreover, these systems possess such advanced technology that
their workings remain a mystery even in the 21st century.
When we examine the other characteristics of bacteria we also
witness the fact that Allah has created the world with billions of in-
dispensable interconnected balances. Bacteria constitute the basis of
the ecological system and permit the
level of gasses in the atmosphere to
remain stable. They are one of the
first links in the food chain of
countless organisms. With their fea-
tures and functions, living things
from the greatest to the smallest,
prove the existence of an Almighty
Creator.
