Biologists' investigation of DNA has shown, by the almost unbelievable com-
plexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce [life], that intelligence
must have been involved. 2
The DNA research that Flew indicated was the main reason for his change of
view. This research has indeed revealed striking truths about the fact of crea-
tion. The helix structure of the DNA molecule, its possession of the genetic
code, the critical nucleotide sequences that refute evolution, the storage of an
encyclopedic quantity of data and many more striking discoveries all revealed
that the structure and functions of this molecule had been specially arranged
to maintain life.
The acceptance of conscious creation by this long-term advocate of atheism,
reflects the process of collapse in which atheism finds itself. Modern science
has revealed the existence of a Creator and thus left atheism entirely out of the
question.
Prof. Gerald Schroeder, one of the scientists who influenced Flew, refers to the
intellect and knowledge manifested in the entire universe in his book Science
Reveals the Ultimate Truth:
A single consciousness, a universal wisdom, pervades the universe. The dis-
coveries of science, those that search the quantum nature of subatomic mat-
ter, have moved us to the brink of a startling realization: all existence is the ex-
pression of this wisdom. In the laboratories we experience it as information that
first physically articulated as energy and then condensed into the form of mat-
ter. Every particle, every being, from atom to human, appears to represent a
level of information, of wisdom. 3
Scientific research into both the functioning of the cell and the subatomic par-
ticles of matter have revealed this in undeniable form: life and the universe
were brought into being by an Almighty and Omniscient entity. No doubt, this
knowledge and intellect that pervade the universe at every level are those of
Almighty Allah.
Allah reveals this fact in the Qur'an:
Both East and West belong to Allah, so wherever you turn, the Face of
Allah is there. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat al-Baqara,
115)
