size of a football stadium, the indentations on it would be approximate-
ly the same size as grains of sand. 4
All the CD's indentations and protrusions represent coded data

containing text, sounds and images. The fact that dozens of books'
worth of data has been compressed into this flat disk makes it obvious
that intelligent, knowledgeable minds have had a hand in its manufac-
ture. No one could possibly maintain anything different. On the contra-
ry, the presence here of a highly advanced technology, the processes of
recording, coding and compression of data are evidence that this CD
was consciously produced, and for a specific purpose.
Yet some people, who see that claims of chance are impossible to
account for a flat disk of plastic, fail to employ the same honest logic in
the face of DNA's perfect creation. They maintain that the DNA mole-
cules, too small to be seen with the naked eye but containing enough
compressed and encoded data to fill thousands of encyclopedias, came
into being as the work of chance. Yet the human brain that produced

the CD and wrote the information it contains also consists of cells that
function thanks to the information contained in DNA.
The illogicality here is obvious. In the same way that the informa-
tion in the CD implies that it has been written there by someone,
DNA–a far more comprehensive data bank with a far superior technol-
ogy–shows the existence of a superior intellect, of a Creator. That intel-
lect is the infinite mind of our Almighty Lord. DNA is a miracle of Al-
lah, the sublime nature of the creation of which we have been able to
th
comprehend through 20 -century technology.
Our Lord reveals the purpose of the things He created in one of the
verses:
It is Allah Who created the seven heavens and of the Earth the same
number, the Command descending down through all of them, so that
you might know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah en-
compasses all things in His knowledge. (Surat at-Talaq, 12)
