Page 182 - If Darwin Had Known about DNA

One of those who express this fact is the physicist and geneticist
Prof. Francis S. Collins, leader of the Human Genome Project and head

of the National Human Genome Project Research Institute. In 2005,
Prof. Collins was awarded the Allen Prize, regarded as the American
Society of Human Genetics' most prestigious award, for his lifetime's
study of human genetics. In a speech, Prof. Collins stated that his stud-
ies had deepened his faith in Allah:

From my perspective as director of the Human Genome Project, the sci-
entific and religious world views are not only compatible but also inher-
ently complementary. . . The elegance and complexity of the human ge-
nome is a source of profound wonder. That wonder only strengthens my
faith, as it provides glimpses of aspects of humanity, which God has
known all along, but which we are just now beginning to discover. 129
Any honest scientist will admit that faith and science are compat-
ible with each other and that the universe is full of proofs of Allah.

However, the dishonest approach adopted by the Darwinist-materialist
media clearly demonstrates their selectivity. The words of this scientist,
who headed the Human Genome Project and who confessed his
amazement at the superior organization manifested in DNA--and how
a single molecule strengthened his faith--appear nowhere in the press.
However, the perfection in the order created by Allah is far too appar-

ent to be concealed in any way.
In the Qur'an, Allah reveals the attitude of believers:
Those who have been given knowledge see that what has been sent
down to you from your Lord is the truth and that it guides to the Path
of [Allah], the Almighty, the Praiseworthy. (Surah Saba', 6)
There is an excellent example in them for you to follow that is for those
whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day. But if anyone turns away,
Allah is the Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (Surat al-
Mumtahana, 6)
