DESIGN AND COINCIDENCE

n the previous chapter, we observed how impossible the coincidental formation of life
I is. Let us again accept these impossibilities for just a moment. Let us suppose that mil-
lions of years ago a cell was formed having acquired all the necessities for life and that it
"came to life". Evolution again collapses at this point. For even if this cell had subsisted
for a while, it would eventually have died and after its death, nothing would remain and
everything would revert to where it had started. This is because this first living cell, lack-
ing any genetic information, would not have been able to reproduce and start a new gen-
eration. Life would have ended with its death.
The genetic system is not only comprised of the DNA. The following should also exist
in the same environment: enzymes to read the code on the DNA, messenger RNA to be
produced after reading these codes, a ribosome on which messenger RNA will mount
according to this code and clamp to for production, transfer RNA to transfer the amino
acids to the ribosome to be used in production, and extremely complex enzymes to carry
out numerous intermediary processes. Such an environment cannot exist anywhere else
but only in a totally isolated and completely controlled environment like the cell, where
all the essential raw materials and energy resources exist.
As a result, organic matter can self-reproduce only if it exists as a fully developed cell
with all its organelles and in an appropriate environment where it can survive, exchange
materials, and get energy from its surroundings. This means that the first cell on earth
was formed "all of a sudden" with its incredibly complex structure.
So, if a complex structure came into existence all of a sudden, what does this mean?
Let us ask this question with an example. Let us resemble the cell to a high-tech car
in terms of its complexity. (In fact, the cell is comprised of a much more complex and
developed system than a car with its motor and all its technical equipment.) Now let us
ask: what would you think if you went out trekking in the depths of a thick forest and
ran across a latest model car among the trees? Would you think that various elements in
the forest had come together by chance over millions of years and produced such a vehi-
cle? All the raw materials making up the car are obtained from iron, plastic, rubber, earth
or its by-products, but would this fact lead you to think that these materials had synthe-
sised "by chance" and then come together and manufactured such a car?
Without doubt, anyone with a sound mind would know that the car was the prod-
uct of a conscious design, that is a factory, and wonder what it was doing there in the
middle of a jungle. The sudden origination of a complex structure in a complete form out
of the blue shows that it is created by a conscious agent. A complex system like the cell is
no doubt created by a superior will and wisdom. In other words, it came into existence
as a creation of Allah.
