Question:
So how come we don't challenge a theory of something coming from
nothing and then colliding in the cosmos to make the universe?
Is it because of its tremendous magnitude that we have so little
comprehension about it, that we are willing to accept any theory
from a few telescope 'peeping Toms' to tell us that it came from
'nothingness'? Or just some gases colliding and then. . . 'Poof'!?
Instant Universe? How?
Let
us now come to our main subject:
We
can turn our attention to the earth and the heavens and make observations
on our own without a 'genius' scientist telling us what we are
seeing.
And then the idea that nothing is sustaining the heavens and the
earth! - 'It just runs itself'? How?
Think
about the stars, the sun, the moon and the countless solar systems
and galaxies in the universe.
Who or What created them in the first place?
They continue to function and move with the utmost precision and
accuracy.
Who does this? Who keeps them gliding along on their courses and
orbits preordained for them?
The
Qur'an on the Origin of the Universe
Look
closer to the heaven surrounding the earth. We call it the 'sky'.
Notice the clouds? What are they?
The
Qur'an on Clouds
Let
us now bring our gaze a bit closer to earth. Consider the mountains
and their majesty. Is there anything about these massive formations
that may give us a clue as to the origin of creation?
The
Qur'an on Mountains
What
about the water covering the earth? Is there another clue hiding
beneath the seas?
The
Qur'an on Deep Seas and Internal Waves
Water
covers so much of the earth and even mixes with the land in rivers
and streams. Yet is there something keeping it from mixing with
itself? What is contained in this mystery of separation of waters?
The
Qur'an on Seas and Rivers
What
about us? Are we are part of creation? How did we begin? What
develops us and causes us to live and die? How are we sustained?
The
Qur'an on Human Embryonic Development
Think
about the humans. How did we all get here? What is the nature
of mankind? What causes us to act as we do? Are we ungrateful
to the One who created us and sustains us? What is this clue?
Think about yourself. Did you create yourself?
The
Qur'an on the Cerebrum (forehead area of the brain in humans)
Who
or What created all this? Who is sustaining everything? How do
organisms reproduce themselves? How can a tree grow up out of
a seed? |
