ry typewriters, and certainly the waste paper baskets required for the deposi-
tion of wrong attempts.
The same is true for living material. The likelihood of the spontaneous forma-
tion of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 noughts aft-
er it.. It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. The-
re was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the
beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the
product of purposeful intelligence. 98
The enzymes that accomplish such difficult tasks are not possessed of

consciousness and intelligence. Yet how do these unconscious accumula-
tions of molecules perform actions that require conscious intelligence, such
as making decisions, implementing those decisions, possessing foresight,
preventing confusion, taking precautions within a flawless order, identify-
ing and rectifying errors and carrying out repairs? The concept of chance,
behind which evolutionists hide, loses all significance in the face of such a
complex mechanism. Therefore, blind chance definitely constitutes no sci-
entific answer to the question of the origin of life. Anyone of intelligence

will agree that conscious, planned processes cannot be performed, one aft-
er the other, as the result of chance.
The resistance of those who deny the existence of Allah in the face of
all the facts is revealed in these terms in the Qur'an:
They said, "No matter what kind of Sign you bring us to bewitch us, we will
not believe in you." (Surat al-A'raf, 132)
It is apparent that all the flawless elements in this system must have
come into being in a single moment. This means that they have been creat-

ed. These processes, which human beings find difficult to comprehend even
as they read about them, are tasks performed, by Allah's choosing, with
enormous ease and success by unconscious atoms at every single moment.
In the Qur'an, Allah reveals:
He originates and regenerates. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Loving, the
Possessor of the Throne, the All-Glorious, the Doer of whatever He desires.
(Surat al-Buruj, 13-16)
