1. How Do We Know A ‘God’ Exists?

ALLAH-icon What would you think if someone told you that…

His ‘theory’ of how cars are made is like this:1. lightbulb man

A scrap yard on the south side of a town blows up and all the metal pieces fly into the air; and then fall back down into one place forming a brand new Lamborghini … with no left over parts … and the motor running?

 

Or what if his theory for how a chair is made is:

An explosion occurs in a forest and the trees go flying into the air; and then suddenly they combine together with some flying cloth to make a beautiful chair … and then it lands in a furniture showroom complete with a matching table and lamp…

He further explains that:

1. computer with earthAn earthquake in California’s ‘Silicon Valley’ causes the computer chips, circuit boards and other various parts to fall out of their boxes and off their shelves; and just come into place together as they are rolling around on the floor, and form the most advanced technical computers existing on the earth?

 

1. medicine bottle 2Or what about his ‘Medicine Theory’? He claims that:

A gas leak in a pharmacy warehouse results in a terrific explosion. All the different chemicals and substances just smash into each other in exactly the correct amounts to produce a miracle drug which cures everything from cancer to heart and liver disease, old age and warts?

Wait … there’s more to this one:

It’s an all in one formula, packaged in the bottles with labels and ready to sell, and with no mess left on the floor?

Now after all this exploding and excitement, this person tells you of a great place where you can relax and have something to eat. It’s his favourite place and he calls it…

“Burger Blast!”

1 burger friesHe says:

“You just go in and sit down, and suddenly a ‘blast’ from the kitchen occurs and immediately a burger lands right in front of you with all the trimmings… just the way you like it; complete with fries, a drink and even your favourite dessert?”

AND…

No one works at “Burger Blast!”

It just runs on its own; automatically cleaning itself and as you leave, it scans your billfold for a valid credit card and charges your bank account for what you have eaten?

 

ALLAH-icon Now… the question is: “Are you really going to accept any of this as ‘fact’?”

Of course not!

We wouldn’t believe a new car is made from flying junk; chairs don’t fall down from exploding trees; earthquakes don’t produce computers and unfortunately blasting burgers don’t rain down on us from above!

So how comes we don’t challenge a theory of something coming from nothing and then colliding in the cosmos to make the universe?

1. magic bookIs it because of its tremendous magnitude? Or is it because we understand so little about it, that we are willing to accept a theory telling us that it came from ‘nothingness’?

Or is it really just a case of some gases colliding and then. . . ‘Poof!’ ‘Magic!’ ‘Abracadabra!’ = Instant Universe?

How? Could it really happen like this? Of course not.

 

ALLAH-icon Let’s look ourselves as an example:

  • An adult is made up of approximately 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms which have been formed together to create the  perfect human body – we can walk, talk, eat, sleep, breathe etc; with ease.1 18. human body
  • This adult body is estimated to have 60,000 miles of blood vessels. To put that into perspective; the distance around the earth is about 25,000 miles, making the distance our blood vessels could travel, if laid end to end, more than two times around the earth.
  • Yet each drop of blood inside this vessel contains about 10,000 while blood cells and 250,000 platelets.
  • Our eye can distinguish about 10 million different colours.
  • We have more bacteria in our mouth than there are people in the world.
  • Every day, our heart creates enough energy to drive a truck for 20 miles (32 km).
  • If uncoiled, the DNA in all the cells within our body would stretch 10 billion miles – that’s from here to the planet Pluto and back.

There are so many more amazing facts like this concerning not just ourselves but the world we live in.

 

ALLAH-icon Could all of these have simply appeared and formed by themselves over time?

Some still say yes. Yet, let’s think about this:

A baby needs a number of very complex interdependent systems to live and survive. These systems include the nervous, digestive, excretory, circulatory, skeletal, muscular and 1. baby in wombimmune system; and for a baby to survive and live, each system requires all the other systems to be functioning.

Therefore all these systems must be in operation at the same time and could not have evolved slowly over millions of years.

And what are the chances of an intricate male reproductive system coming about by time, chance and random mutation? It would need to be fully functional along the entire evolutionary timeline so that reproduction could continue.

And remember; this highly unlikely progression would be pointless unless the female reproductive system had randomly evolved in perfect sync to compliment the developing male system so that they both worked in harmony over the millions of years of evolutionary refinement!

This logic applies to all the other species on earth as well.

There is no evidence anywhere of the evolution of such systems.

More than that, not even any hypothetical process can be thought of to explain how something like the brain and the digestive system could have evolved bit by bit over time!

 

ALLAH-icon How do we know a God exists and how did everything appear?

3D Character and Thinking , He is standing with question mark

How do we know a God exists? The existence of such an intricate and carefully formed creation testifies to the existence of a Creator. Islam explains how everything was formed by calling people to recognise its Sole Creator – God.

In Islam, all the prophets including Abraham, Moses, David, Soloman, Jesus, John (the Baptist) and Muhammad (PBUT); all worshipped this same God alone.

God was always there from the beginning and will always be there. He is the Creator and Sustainer of everything around us, including us.

“Allah (God)…none has the right to be worshipped except Him alone, the Creator of all things.” (Quran 6:102).
