THE PERFECT DESIGN IN THE

UNIVERSE IS
NOT BY
CHANCE
He is God the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form.
To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything
in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.

CHANCE IS NOT A DEITY: IT IS GOD WHO IS THE
CREATOR OF ALL THAT EXISTS
The theory of evolution, as proposed by Charles Darwin in the 19th century, is one of the most
unbelievable and irrational claims in history. Despite this, over its 150-year history it's been accepted by
many scientists, professors, doctors and researchers, and many others who have expended great effort to
defend evolution to the point of accepting its scientific contradictions.

THE FLAWLESS ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE
FALSIFIES CLAIMS THAT IT CAME ABOUT BY CHANCE
The universe with all its creations, both animate and inanimate, has a flawless design, unique
systems, and an ordered balance that provide all the conditions necessary for living things to survive.
Discoveries, especially those made in the 20th and 21st centuries, have shown that the flawless design of
the universe is clearly the work of a supreme intelligence. It is God, with His supreme intelligence,
limitless knowledge and eternal power, Who created the universe.

Every planet in the universe, large and small, is the critically important part of a larger order. Not
one of their positions in space or any of their movements is random. On the contrary, their countless
details known to us so far have been created and especially adjusted for a particular purpose. Of all the
innumerable factors influencing the balances in the universe, a change in the position of just one planet is
enough to bring chaos. But these balances are never upset. The universe continues on, in its perfect order,
with no problems. All of this is a result of God's supreme power in creation.
''He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the All-
Merciful. Look again do you see any gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you
dazzled and exhausted!'' (Qur'an 67:3-4)
"God, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness or
sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by
His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they cannot grasp any of His
knowledge save what He wills. . . ." (Qur'an 2: 255)
Charles Darwin first proposed the theory of evolution, which suggests that all living things came
into being by the mechanism of chance. But the universe's perfect design led even Darwin to admit that
there is no room for chance in its creation. As he wrote:
This conviction in the existence of God] follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility
of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capacity of looking far
backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity.

"You will see the mountains you reckoned to be solid going past like clouds-the handiwork of God
Who gives to everything its solidity. . . . " (Qur'an 27: 88)
"And the earth: how We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains onto it and caused
luxuriant plants of every kind to grow in it." (Qur'an 50: 7)
The distribution of heavenly bodies in the universe is designed exactly to conform to the needs of
human life. In his book The Symbiotic Universe, American astronomer George Greenstein explains the
importance of the huge voids in space and the distances between heavenly bodies:
All that wasted space! On the other hand, in this very waste lies our safety. It is a precondition for
our existence. Most remarkable of all is that the overall emptiness of the cosmos seems to have no other
consequence in the astronomical realm. Had the stars been somewhat closer, astrophysics would not have
been so very different. The fundamental physical processes occurring within stars, nebulas, and the like
would have proceeded unchanged. The appearance of our galaxy as seen from some far-distant vantage
point would have been the same. About the only difference would have been the view of the night time sky
from the grass on which I lie, which would have been yet richer with stars. And oh, yes-one more small
change: There would have been no me to do the viewing.
6
"This is God's creation. Show me then what those besides Him have created! The wrongdoers are
clearly misguided." (Qur'an 31: 11)
Contemporary philosopher 1ean Guitton of the French Academy writes:
The first conditions that determined the basic constants of nature and the emergence of life were set
in place with amazing exactness. To give an idea of how precisely the universe appears to have been
constructed, it is enough to think of a golfer who can hit his ball from Earth to a hole on Mars!
7
"God is He Who raised up the heavens without any support-you can see that-and then
established Himself firmly on the Throne. He made the sun and moon subservient, each running for a
specified term. He directs the whole affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully you will be certain
about the meeting with your Lord." (Qur'an 13: 2)
"Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth prostrates to God, and the
sun and moon and stars and the mountains, trees and beasts and many of mankind? But many of them
inevitably merit punishment. . . ." (Qur'an 22: 18)
"Do you not see how He created seven heavens in layers, and placed the moon as a light in them
and made the sun a blazing lamp?" (Qur'an 71: 15-16)
"In two days He determined them as seven heavens and revealed, in every heaven, its own
mandate. We adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and guarded it. . . ." (Qur'an 41: 12)
"Did We not make the earth a receptacle for the living and the dead? Did We not place firmly
embedded mountains in it, soaring high into the air, and give you sweet fresh water to drink?" (Qur'an
77: 25-27)
"He sends down water from the sky and river-beds fill up and flow according to their size, and the
floodwater carries a rising foam. . . ." (Qur'an 13: 17)
If the laws of the universe allowed only the solid and gaseous states of matter, life would never have
come into being. This is because the atoms in solid matter are compact, relatively motionless, and do not
allow the dynamic molecular activity needed for living organisms to develop. The atoms in gasses have no
stability and move freely, preventing the functioning of the complex mechanisms of living organisms.
In short, there must be a fluid environment for the functions necessary for life to develop. The most
ideal fluid-rather the only ideal fluid-is water.
The suitability of Earth's environment for the sustaining life is too wondrous to ever be explained
by chance occurrences. Lawrence Henderson, a professor in Harvard University's department of
biological chemistry, says the following in this regard:
The fitness... of these compounds constitutes] a series of maxima-unique or nearly unique
properties of water, carbon dioxide, the compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and the ocean-so
numerous, so varied, so complete among all things which are concerned in the problem that together they
form certainly the greatest possible fitness.
8
God has created the amount of water in the world in the way most appropriate for the survival of
living things. The 18th

century English natural scientist 1ohn Ray, writes the following in this regard:
. I]f there were but half the sea that now is, there would also be but half Quantity of Vapors, and
consequently we could have but half as many Rivers as now there are to supply all the dry land we have
at present, and half as much more; for the quantity of Vapors which are raised, as well as to the heat
which raised them. The Wise Creator therefore did so prudently order it, that the seas should be large
enough to supply Vapors sufficient for all the land.
9
To claim that all these events resulted from chance events, a person would have to be completely
deluded.
"We pour down plentiful water, then split the earth into furrows. Then We make grain grow in it,
and grapes and herbs and olives and dates." (Qur'an 80: 25-29)
". . . . Luxuriant gardens and orchards and meadows, for you and your livestock to enjoy." (Qur'an
80: 30-32)

"Say: What do you think? If, one morning, your water disappears into the earth, who will bring
you running water?' "(Qur'an 67: 30)
"Have you thought about the water that you drink? Is it you who sent it down from the clouds or
are We the Sender?" (Qur'an 56: 68-69)
Water is renewed in a continuous cycle, in a state ready to be used by plants, animals, and human
beings. Due to the sun's influence, the Earth's water is purified by evaporation. Evaporated water
condenses in the atmosphere, forming clouds, and falls to the earth again as rain. In one year, for
example, it is calculated that roughly six to seven hundred million tons of water evaporates at the equator,
rises into the atmosphere, is carried towards the North and the South Poles, and eventually returns to the
seas again, in the form of rain.
If this transformation did not occur-that is, if water didn't evaporate and return to the earth, life
would certainly come to an end.

He laid out the earth for all living creatures. In it are fruits and date-palms with covered spathes,
and grains on leafy stems and fragrant herbs. So which of your Lord's blessings do you both then deny?
"Have you thought about what you cultivate? Is it you who make it germinate or are We the
Germinator? If We wished We could have made it broken stubble . . . ." (Qur'an 56: 63-65)
The tiny seeds you see in these pictures contain 60 times more information than in all of the
Encyclopedia Britannica. When planted in the ground, the information in the seed will later turn it into a
lily or a willow tree, a violet or an oak. From every seed emerges a plant different in taste, smell, color
and size than every other. To imagine that such extraordinary information has come into this seed by
chance is nonsense.
Together, black soil and a small seed can produce colorful flowers, sweet-smelling aromas and
perfumed fruits. That is just one of the creative miracles of Almighty God.
"As for the earth, We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains in it and made
everything grow in due proportion on it." (Qur'an 15: 19)
Israeli biophysicist Lee M. Spetner writes:
Plants do not proliferate in a field to the point where they become crowded. They do not engage in a
"struggle for existence" where natural selection would preserve the strong and destroy the weak. Plants
tend to control their populations by sensing the density of the planting. When the growth is dense, plants
produce less seeds; when growth is thin, they produce more seeds.
11

"And We put livelihoods in it both for you and for those you do not provide for." (Qur'an 15: 20)
"And the earth: how We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains onto it and caused
luxuriant plants of every kind to grow in it, an instruction and a reminder for every penitent human
being." (Qur'an 50: 7-8)
"We sent down cascading water from the clouds so that by it We might bring forth grains and
plants and luxuriant gardens." (Qur'an 78: 14-16)
"The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but Him. He knows everything
in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and
nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book." (Qur'an 6: 59)
The diversity of plants that appeared suddenly in the fossil record put evolutionists in a great
difficulty. This problem even left Darwin stunned, and he admitted as much:
Nothing is more extraordinary in the history of the Vegetable Kingdom, as it seems to me, than the
apparently very sudden or abrupt development of the higher plants.
12

"He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down water for you from the sky by which
We make luxuriant gardens grow-you could never make their trees grow. . . ." (Qur'an 27: 60)
The wide variety of plants in the natural world is only one of the proofs that they are not the work
of chance. The flawless systems and extraordinary design of these esthetic, sweet-smelling plants couldn't
be formed by the chance agglomeration of atoms. This claim would be as nonsensical as the assertion that
clothes in a store could make themselves by the accidental coming together of fabric and thread.
"It is He Who produces gardens, both cultivated and wild, and palm-trees and crops of diverse
kinds, and olives and pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. . . ." (Qur'an 6: 141)
Dr. Eldred Corner of Cambridge University is forced to admit the all-too-clear fact of creation:
... I still think that, to the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favour of special creation. If,
however, another explanation could be found for this hierarchy of classification, it would be the knell of
the theory of evolution. Can you imagine how an orchid, a duckweed, and a palm have come from the
same ancestry, and have we any evidence for this assumption? The evolutionist must be prepared with an
answer, but I think that most would break down before an inquisition.
13

". . .He created all things and He has knowledge of all things. That is God, your Lord. There is no
god but Him, the Creator of everything. So worship Him. He is responsible for everything." (Qur'an 6:
101-102)
For millions of years, the countless, varied plants on the Earth have known what they must do and
when they must do it, thanks to a program stored in their seeds; and they remember this program and
carry it out without error. A peach tree never grows from a cherry pit, nor does a strawberry ever come
from the seed from a lemon tree. It is surely impossible for a piece of wood with no brain, eyes or
intelligence to put such a perfectly working program into operation by itself. The idea that this system
can have been functioning perfectly for millions of years due to the success of chance occurrences is a
fantasy that all sensible people will find ridiculous. It is God Who creates plants.
Dr. Lee Spetner writes:
How does an acorn know it has to grow into an oak tree and not into a sunflower? . . . The science
of biology took a pivotal turn about 40 years ago when biologists began to learn how information plays its
role in living organisms. We have discovered the location of the information in the organism that tells it
how to function and how to grow, how to live and how to reproduce. The information is in the seed as well
as in the plant; it's in the egg as well as in the chicken. The egg passes the information to the chicken it
becomes, and the chicken passes it to the egg it lays, and so on.
14

The Prophet, peace be upon him, says:
God is beautiful and loves beauty
15

Even a rose, whose smell has not changed for millions of years and whose variously colored smooth
petals give it a beautiful esthetic appearance, disproves the evolutionists' claims. For years, trained
experts have tried in experiments to duplicate the smell of a rose in the laboratory. But a rose, with more
"intelligence" than the experts, has been producing this incomparable scent for millions of years.
A rose's special smell, color, softness and wondrous design show God's incomparable creative
artistry.
"In the earth there are diverse regions side by side and gardens of grapes and cultivated fields, and
palm-trees sharing one root and others with individual roots, all watered with the same water. And We
make some things better to eat than others. There are Signs in that for people who use their intellect."

from that We bring forth the green shoots and from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and from
the spathes of the date palm date clusters hanging down, and gardens of grapes and olives and
pomegranates, both similar and dissimilar. Look at their fruits as they bear fruit and ripen. There are

"God is He Who raised up the heavens without any support you can see that-and then

DARWINISM'S FORMULA IS:
Time + Mud + Chance A human being
According to evolutionists, human existence is the end result of millions of years of progress, up
from muddy water with the help of chance. They believe that the combination of these random forces
gave shape to the human brain, intelligence, cognitive ability, judgment and memory. So it is that
evolutionists regard these three forces-time, mud, and chance-as their gods, and believe that over the
course of time, these false gods created the human intelligence that can examine the heavens with a
telescope, produce fiber-optic cables, use computers, construct high-tech robots, develop holograms and
invent cellular telephones. The power they impute to this threesome is actually enough to elevate them
into a trinity. Holding tightly to their deviant ideas, Darwinists do not forsake the crushing defeat of their
logic which they suffer, only to deny the existence of Almighty God.
Paul Davies, a well-known professor of mathematical physics at Australia's University of Adelaide,
writes,
If the world's finest minds can unravel only with difficulty the deeper workings of nature, how
could it be supposed that those workings are merely a mindless accident, a product of blind chance?
26

According to Darwinism, designers, architects, engineers, scientists all came to be, after eons, from
a puddle of muddy water with the help of chance. These claims are like suggesting that the architectural
wonder of a palace by the sea came to be by chance over the course of time, thanks to waves beating on a
beach's sand and pebbles.
Human beings have intelligence, awareness, and will; are capable of making intricate calculations
according to the laws of physics whereby they can design massive tons of steel to float on the water or fly
through the air. Quite clearly, they couldn't have come to be by the operation of chance over time. But
evolutionists, hypnotized by their theory, cannot see the illogicality.
"If you ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth and made the sun and moon
subservient?' they will say, God.' So how have they been perverted?" (Qur'an 29: 61)
To believe in Darwinism means the total abandonment of thought, intelligence and logic. No
rational person could declare that stones can line up, all by themselves, and construct a skyscraper with
all its features, by chance. But Darwinists claim something even more nonsensical than that: they claim
that a puddle of water on the ground engendered life and, with the help of chance and endless millennia,
eventually formed human beings with the awareness and intelligence to build towns, discover the light
bulb, produce thousands of kilowatts of energy to light the cities they built, and perform the intricate
calculations necessary to construct bridges and skyscrapers.
''He is God. There is no deity but Him. Praise be to Him in the world and in the hereafter.
1udgment belongs to Him. You will be returned to Him.'' (Qur'an 28: 70)
Evolutionists believe that five billion years ago, a few atoms came together and formed a perfect
plan. According to this fantastic scenario, lifeless, unconscious atoms came together with the help of wind,
storms, lightening, ultraviolet rays and earthquakes, to form living things. To claim that the individuals
who made the architectural works you see in this photograph arose by chance is even more illogical than
believing that masses of stone quarried themselves and became perfect architectural masterpieces,
through the effect of wind-erosion over the course of centuries.
"That is God, your Lord, the Truth, and what is there after truth except misguidance? So how have
you been distracted?" (Qur'an 10: 32)
Darwinism's purpose is to persuade people to deny the clear and certain fact of creation. To do this,
Darwinists try to make everyone believe that living things' wonderful and excellent systems came to be
through a long series of chance events. All the scientific proofs and evident facts displayed in front of their
eyes can't change their minds. Those who espouse this deviant view would find ridiculous the claim that
the pyramids-whose incomparable design even modern technology cannot explain or duplicate-came
into being randomly over the course of time. But they display an even more serious logical flaw in
resorting to every means to prove that the human intelligence and skill that brought about the pyramids
resulted from the formula: Time + chance + mud a human being.
"Guerniero," painting by Gianfrancesco Wilhelmshhe
"Fruit, a seashell and a box of jewels," a still life by 1an Davidsz
When someone walks into an art gallery and views a show of pictures, he immediately understands
that they were painted by a talented, experienced, knowledgeable artist. Even if he cannot see the painter,
he would never doubt that the artist exists. No one would claim that these works were formed by the
chance spilling of paint on canvas. And someone who liked one of the paintings wouldn't praise the
pigments that formed the paint, or the linen that was woven into the canvas but rather, the individual
who conceived and painted it.
All the beautiful things we see around us belong to God, the Creator of everything. The only One Who
deserves praise and thanksgiving is our Lord God, Who made everything He created with consummate
perfection.
"Sailboats in Istanbul," painting by Salvator Colacicco
"The Carpet Merchant," painting by 1ean-Leon Gerome
If we cannot believe that the static, two-dimensional, inanimate scene in a picture is the result of
pure chance, how can anyone think that the three-dimensional, living, incomparable perfection of the
painting's subject matter is the work of blind chance?
"Mahmudiye Kalyonu," signed by Arif in Ottoman in the year 1360 of the Muslim calendar
The cushions, fabrics and curtains you see in this picture are all the products of design. Several
artisans worked on each one of them. People who clearly see that the designs in this picture could not
have been accidental, nevertheless believe that the living things that the material comes from and the
people, who make the designs, came to be by chance.
This illogic is only one of the innumerable proofs that demonstrate how the trance of Darwinism
affects the minds of some individuals.
''(It is He Who created) also animals for riding and for haulage and animals for slaughtering and
for wool. . ." (Qur'an 6: 142)
"Children of Adam! We have sent down clothing to you to conceal your private parts, and fine
apparel, but the clothing of heedfulness-that is best! . . . " (Qur'an 7: 26)

As for those who do not believe, it makes no difference to them whether you warn them or do not
warn them, they will not believe. God has sealed up their hearts and hearing and over their eyes is a
blindfold. They will have a terrible punishment. (Qur'an, 2: 6-7)
... They have hearts they do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They have
ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No, they are even further astray! They are the

The artificial atmosphere created by Miller in his experiment actually bore not the slightest
resemblance to the primitive atmosphere on earth. Today, Miller too accepts that his 1953 experiment was
very far from explaining the origin of life.

One of the evolutionists' gravest deceptions is the way they imagine that life could have emerged
spontaneously on what they refer to as the primitive earth, represented in the picture above. They tried to
prove these claims with such studies as the Miller experiment. Yet they again suffered defeat in the face of
the scientific facts; The results obtained in the 1970s proved that the atmosphere on what they describe as
the primitive earth was totally unsuited to life.
All information about living beings is stored in the DNA molecule. This incredibly efficient
information storage method alone is a clear evidence that life did not come into being by chance, but has
been purposely designed, or, better to say, marvellously created.

The French biologist Lamarck
Lamarck thought that organisms could pass on to their offspring traits acquired during their
lifetimes. As an example to this line of reasoning, he suggested that the long neck of the giraffe evolved
when a short-necked ancestor took to browsing on the leaves of trees instead of grass. With the discovery
of the laws of genetics, it was seen that acquired traits could not actually be inherited at all. As a result,
Lamarckism had been invalidated by science by the beginning of the twentieth century.
Darwin also gave similar examples. In his book The Origin of Species, for instance, he said that
some bears going into water to find food transformed themselves into whales over time.37

Imaginary representations of 'primitive' human beings are frequently employed in stories carried
by pro-evolution newspapers and magazines. The only source for these stories, based on these imaginary
representations, are the imaginations of their authors. Yet evolution has suffered such a defeat in the face
of the scientific facts that fewer reports concerning evolution now appear in scientific magazines.
