KNOWLEDGE TESTIFIES TO THE EXISTENCE OF GOD

The Quran says: “I swear by the glow of sunset, by the night and what it covers, and the moon when it grows full, you will progress from stage to stage. What is wrong with them that they do not believe?” (84:16-20)

Man’s study of the universe continued over the centuries. Arriving in the era of Isaac Newton, it was assumed that matter was the building block of the universe. However, the journey of human knowledge went further, and later research findings rebutted the above hypothesis. In Einstein’s era, the hypothesis that the building block of the universe was energy came to prevail. But the journey of human knowledge moved ahead further. Later research showed that this hypothesis was not correct. Finally, in the period of Fred Hoyle, it was discovered that the building block of the universe was intelligence. However, the journey of human knowledge continued until, in the 21st century, it was found that intelligent design pervades the entire universe.

This is convincing proof of the existence of God. The intricate design in the universe indicates a Designer and conscious activity on the Designer’s part. If the universe is characterized by design, it must be the handiwork of a grand Designer. This Designer can be no one but the Creator, the One God.
