Yet by means of the sen si tive bal ance of the four fun da men tal for -
ces, the atoms that con sti tute your body and the entire uni verse remain
sta ble. This sen si tiv i ty has aston ished sci en tists. As the famous astro -
phys i cist Paul Davies, com ments,
[with] a slight ly dif fer ent set of num bers, the world would be a
very dif fer ent place. Probably we would not be here to see it. . . .
And when one goes on to study cos mol o gy incre du li ty mounts.
Recent dis cov er ies about the pri me val cos mos oblige us to accept
that the expand ing uni verse has been set up in its motion with a

(Surah Fatir: 41)
For any one who employs rea son and con science, that an atom con -
sist ing of more than 99.9999999% empty space pos sess es such vital ly
impor tant prop er ties is yet anoth er mir a cle of Allah's cre a tion. Our Lord
reveals that there are proofs for believ ers in His cre a tions:

In the alter na tion of night and day and what Allah has cre at ed in the
heav ens and the Earth. There are Signs for peo ple who guard against
evil. (Surah Yunus: 6)

The most impor tant of the flaw less atoms' many attrib utes is that
