FLAWLESS UNIVERSE

The universe is an entirely zero-defect universe. In the Quran, this aspect of the universe is related in this manner:

“He created seven heavens, one above the other in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the Gracious One. Then look once again: can you see any flaw? Then look again and again. Your gaze will come back to you confused and exhausted.” (67:3-4)

Here, the Quran highlights the fact that the universe that God has created is flawless. When the above verses of the Quran were revealed, man did not know that the universe was flawless. He would see the sun, moon, oceans, and mountains and feel a sense of awe. From this feeling, the concept of nature worship was born. The actual purpose of the Creator was for man to understand the flawless aspects of the universe, that is, the perfect system of the universe, and through it, to discover the power of the Creator. However, this aspect of the universe remained undiscovered for thousands of years.

With the advent of modern science, over the last 400 years, scientific discoveries have informed man that a perfect level of meaningfulness characterizes the universe. The universe is well-planned. The universe is well-managed. The universe is well-designed. The universe is well-disciplined. Many scientists now believe that the universe is intelligent, so much so that this has become a regular subject on which a vast amount of literature, including many books, has been published.

In Newton’s time, the universe used to be thought of as a mechanical universe. However, with further research, this notion was proved to be erroneous. Through investigation in different fields, scientific circles widely believed that the universe is intelligent. To consider the universe as an ‘intelligent universe’ is, in other words, to accept that it is the creation of an Intelligent Creator. There can be no other sensible meaning to this. Perhaps the first formal book on the subject was The Intelligent Universe: A New View of Creation and Evolution (1983) by Fred Hoyle. Since then, numerous books and articles have been published on the intelligent design of the universe. These resources can be found in extensive library collections or on the Internet. Intelligent Universe points to Intelligent Design. This is only possible through the work of an Intelligent Designer, another name for God Almighty.
