hose who contemplate their surroundings conscientiously and
wisely realize that everything in the universe - both living and
non-living - must have been created. So the question becomes,
"Who is the Creator of all these things?"
It is evident that the creation that reveals itself in every aspect of the
universe cannot be an outgrowth of the universe itself. For example, no
insect could have created itself, nor could the solar system have created or
organized itself. Neither could plants, humans, bacteria, red-blood cells,
nor butterflies have created themselves. As this book explains throughout,
any possibility that all these could have originated "by chance" is unimag-
inable.
Therefore, we arrive at the following conclusion: Everything that we see
has been created, but nothing we see can itself be a "creator." The Creator
is different from - and superior to - all that we see, a Superior Power Who
is invisible to our eyes, but Whose existence and attributes are revealed in
everything that He creates.
This is where those who deny Allah's existence are led astray. They are
conditioned not to believe in Allah's existence unless they see Him with
their own eyes, forced to conceal the actuality of creation manifested all
throughout the universe, and to claim that the universe and all the living
things it contains have not been created. In order to do so, they resort to
falsehoods. As explained earlier, evolutionary theory is one key example
of their lies and vain endeavours to this end.
