How did it happen?

	Would you believe a man if he tells you that there is a
 store which is running smoothly but has no salesman, 
storekeeper or someone to look after it?  Or would you 
believe him if he told you that the chair in front of you 
assumed its present form all by itself?

The Rain Tells

	Now, if there is no way to persuade you that an 
ordinary store could run without a storekeeper or a
 salesman, or that a chair could assume its form without a 
carpenter's skill, could you possibly accept the thesis that
 the universe is without a creator or master?  In the 
wonderful scheme of the universe, with countless living 
creatures, the sun, moon, stars, and planets function with 
the utmost precision.  Vapor rises from the oceans and turns 
into clouds/ the winds blow there clouds in the distant 
corners of the earth, then the vapor condenses into water 
and falls on the earth as rain which brings dead soil to 
life and helps the growth of various kinds of grains and 
other crops, and different varieties of fruits and flowers.
  The fruits have different flavors, thought they grow in 
the same place, using the same water.
	Now, could any sensible person believe that this vast 
integrated system sprang into existence and runs without a 
master or governor? 
	We do not hesitate to dismiss a person as lunatic who 
consider that a thing as insignificant and small as a chair 
or a piece of cloth came into existence by itself; should we 
then agree with someone who states that the earth sprang 
into existence automatically, the animals came to life by 
themselves and even the most wonderful and complicated of 
the living beings-the human being- came into existence 
without a creator?  Look at the human body and the millions 
of systems and sub-systems working with the most wonderful 
cooperation and packed most efficiently in that small body.


The Embryo Witness

	Have you ever pondered how the human fetus forms and 
develops in the tiny workshop of its mother's womb?  At a 
moment of which neither the father nor the mother is aware, 
two small lifegerms unite then in nine months, they develop 
into several organs and part fo the human body in the 
appropriate places.  Every part, large or small is precisely 
where it should be.  Only a person out of his wits could say 
that this wonderful system of life came into being, and has 
continued for countless generations without a Wise, Powerful
 Being possessing vast knowledge and unrivalled powers of 
creation.

Impossibility

	Suppose an earthquake occurs and all the different 
solutions in a lab fall and mix together.  It would be a 
very strange coincidence if such a mixture produces a new 
medicine that cures a certain disease.
	Now let us look at the probability of forming a protein 
molecule assuming that all the elements are already in 
existence.  The Swiss mathematician Charles Eugene Jai 
calculated this probability.  He took the protein molecule 
as his sample, but he simplified the case by considering his
 molecule to contain 2,000 atoms instead of 34,500 and to 
consist of two types of atoms instead of four major ones.  
The value of probability is determined by the size of the 
material necessary for such a reaction to take place and he
 found that the probability of forming that simplified 
protein molecule was approximately 1/2 X 10 to the 321.  The 
size of the material necessary for that almost zero 
probability was a sphere whose diameter was approximately 6 
X 10 to the 176 miles and this sphere is approximately 10 to 
the 63 times the imagined size of the universe.  He found 
also that the tie necessary for such a molecule to form was 
10 to the 243 billion years which is by far greater than the 
hypothesized age of the earth which is only two billion 
years.  So the size and time factor would make it impossible 
even to form one protein molecule.

The Thinking Process Proves

	As the computer needs a program to run, a human being 
needs previous information to produce a thought.  Who put 
that initial information in a human being's mind?

One Principal

	Have you ever heard of a school with two principals, or
 a department with two chairpersons, or an army with two 
commanders-in-chief or a country with two presidents?  In 
any event could any institution under a dual control be run 
effectively?  Look at the millions of planets and starts:  
their conduct and movement show extremely strict adherence 
to a certain uniform set of rules and regulations.  Their 
distances and directions in relation to one another are set
 and even the slightest alteration of this scheme will upset
 the whole system and cause chaos.
	The rules they are abiding by are so uniform that we 
research to find mathematical formulas describing them.  If 
the universe had been governed by several or even two gods, 
its affairs could not possibly have been run so regularly 
and efficiently and we would have seen the chaos stemming 
from contradicting orders and rules.  If even a small school
 cannot accept two principals at a time, how could the vast 
realms of the heaven be run by more than one Sovereign?
	Now when God is the sovereign of the universe, is it 
not logical that you submit willingly to His commands and
 model your life according to the way of life He set for 
mankind?  You can find that way of life explained fully in 
Islam.
