EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE TRUTH?

"creation" manifested all throughout the universe and find them-
selves forced to prove – falsely – that the universe and the living
things in it have not been created. Evolutionary theory is a key
example of their vain endeavors to this end.
The basic mistake of those who deny Allah is shared by
many people who in fact do not really deny the existence of
Allah but have a wrong perception of Him. These people, who
make up the majority of the society in some countries, do not
openly deny creation, but have superstitious beliefs about
"where" Allah is. Most of them think that Allah is "up in the sky."
They falsely imagine that Allah is behind a very distant planet
and interferes with "worldly affairs" once in a while. Or perhaps
that He does not intervene at all: He created the universe and
then left it to itself and people are left to determine their fates for
themselves. (Surely Allah is beyond that.)
Still others know the fact that Allah is "everywhere" as re-
vealed in the Qur'an, but they cannot perceive exactly what this
means. They think that Allah surrounds everything like radio
waves or like an invisible, intangible gas. (Surely Allah is beyond
that.)
However, this notion and other beliefs that are unable to
make clear "where" Allah is (and maybe unwisely deny His evi-
dent existence because of that) are all based on a common mis-
take. They hold a prejudice without any grounds and then are
moved to wrong opinions of Allah. What is this prejudice?
This prejudice is about the nature and characteristics of mat-
ter. Some people are so conditioned to suppositions about the
real essence of matter that they may have never thought about it
