Today, more and more sci-
entists have stopped looking
for the key in the wrong place
and chosen to go to the right

address. Instead of vainly
searching in random occur-
rences for the origins of life
(and the magnificent informa-

tion that constitutes it), they
have accepted the evident
truth that life is the result of a
superior Creation. This knowl-

edge has come to light espe-
cially in the 21st century,
where computers and the
Internet have become an im-

portant part of our lives. The
outmoded 19th-century
Darwinist idea that life is sim-
ple, with its lack of awareness

of biological data, is an idea
doomed to pass into the
depths of history.
The truth is, God has cre-

ated every creature on the face
of the Earth and ordered
everything perfectly in the
flawless artistry of His

Creation. He created the
human body wonderfully and
afterwards breathed His spirit
into it. All the characteristics

of human consciousness—the senses of sight and hearing, thought, feeling and emotion—did not result
from the interaction of unconscious atoms, but are faculties of the spirit that God has given to human be-
ings. In the Qur'an, He reminds people of the faculties He has given them:

Say: "It is He Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight and hearts. What little thanks you show!"
(Surat al-Mulk: 23)
Everyone has the spirit given to him by God; and every individual is responsible to our Lord Who has
created everything from nothing. In the Qur'an, God reveals the creation to those who think they have no

purpose and tells them that after they die, they will rise again:
Does man reckon he will be left to go on unchecked? Was he not a drop of ejaculated sperm, then a blood-clot
which He created and shaped, making from it both sexes, male and female? Is He Who does this not able to bring
the dead to life? (Surat al-Qiyama: 36-40)
