                   In verse 45 of Surat an-Nur it is revealed that:

                   . . . Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things.
                   (Surat An-Nur, 45)

                   D DNA is a Stable Molecule
                   DNA is the most suitable molecule for carrying information. Che-
               mists refer to it being stable, which means the molecule is not easily
               damaged or dissolved. Scientists engaged in research in the field of mo-
               lecular biology are well aware of the importance of this stability, be-
               cause DNA's structure is far more resistant than most biochemicals
               used in the laboratory. Unlike many biochemicals, it can preserve its
               stability for months in solution, even at room temperature. Prof. Da-
                                                                      27
               niel Dennet expresses the stable nature of the bases in DNA:
                   One of the important features of DNA is that all the permutations of se-
                   quences of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine are about equally
                   stable, chemically. All could be constructed, in principle, in the gene-
                   splicing laboratory, and, once constructed, would have an indefinite shelf
                   like a book in a library. 28
                   All shows that the DNA molecule is specially created to contain
               and conceal information. It is absolutely impossible for all of DNA's
               properties to have come into existence togather instantaneously, as the
               result of chance. Each one of these has been consciously brought to-
               gether at our Almighty Lord's command.
                   In one verse of the Qur'an, Allah reveals that:
                   . . . That is Allah, your Lord. The Kingdom is His. Those you call on be-
                   sides Him have no power over even the smallest speck. (Surah Fatir, 13)
