How Modern Science Affirmed God's Existence

By: Maged Taman


1- God creation is true: it is not illusion, delusion or spontaneous evolution

6:73 He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In that day when He saith: Be! it is. His word is the truth, and His will be the Sovereignty on the day when the trumpet is blown. Knower of the invisible and the visible, He is the Wise, the Aware. وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ وَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ (6:73)

2- There is no God of the Gap in Islam: this argument is used to prove God existence through finding a gap in scientific knowledge, therefore, the things in this gap are best explained as acts of God. Thus after the work of Galileo and Newton, it was no longer thought that angels pushed the planets across the heavens. In Quran God created the initial creation and continue to guide it to be maintained through the laws of cosmos he created.

20:50 He said: Our Lord is He Who gave unto evening its nature, then guided it aright. قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلْقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدَى (20:50)

3-The heavens and earth were one mass: same in the Quran as proved by science.

"Do those who disbelieve not see that the heavens and the earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not believe? "(Qur'an, 21:30)

4- The Expansion Of The Universe:

"And it is We Who have constructed the heaven (universe) with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it". (Qur'an, 51:47)

5- God planned to us to discover his creation: He created our curiosity to know how things were created and God gave us the brain and the tools to trace his creation:

29:20 Say (O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see how He originated creation, then Allah bringeth forth the later growth. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ بَدَأَ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ يُنشِئُ النَّشْأَةَ الْآخِرَةَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ (29:20)

6- There is nothing we know is created from nothing:

52:35 Or were they created out of naught? Or are they the creators? أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ (52:35)

7- Actually the creation is quite measured: as proved to us from modern science it follows laws.

25:2 He unto Whom belongeth the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He hath chosen no son nor hath He any partne in the sovereignty. He hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure. الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُ تَقْدِيرًا (25:2)

54:49 Lo! We have created every thing by measure. إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ (54:49)

8- In fact the cyclic movements or the sun and moon are well calculated:

55:5 The sun and the moon follow courses (exactly) computed; الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ (55:5)

36:40 It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law). لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ (36:40)

10:5 He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge. هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاء وَالْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُواْ عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّهُ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ يُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ (10:5)

9- For long period man was not existing: His age in earth is less than 7000 years.

76:1 Hath there come upon man (ever) any period of time in which he was a thing unremembered?
هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا (76:1)

10- The composition of man is similar to that of the earth: check this article for more detail: http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_59.html

30:20 And of His signs is this: He created you of dust, and behold you human beings, ranging widely! وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَنتُم بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ (30:20)

11- Man and Woman are separate creation: there is no proof that one is evolved to the other. They have two different reproductive organs and endocrine sex hormones

53:45 And that He createth the two spouses, the male and the female, وَأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَى (53:45)

12-The same is true for other pairs: these including animals and plants.

36:36 Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not! سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنبِتُ الْأَرْضُ وَمِنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (36:36)

13- The creation is too complex: The complexity of the creation like the DNA the origin of life attest to a great mind even better than any computer we know. Though we can clone sheep we can not create them. In fact if all of the earth idols and humans can not create a fly.

76:2 Lo! We create man from a drop of thickened fluid to test him; so We make him hearing, knowing. إِنَّا خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ أَمْشَاجٍ نَّبْتَلِيهِ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا (76:2)

22:73 O mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from him. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought! يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا لَهُ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيْئًا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوبُ (22:73)

14- The discovery of the computer: It made it possible that a single mind can do a lot of mental processes in the same time. Thus the God who created our brain that created the computer is accepted to be more capable than our brains and the computers. Still the computers did not create things from nothing and for sure not the universe. It is however helped to make us understand that greater intelligence than us can exist and do many tasks in the same time. It can control the world and us in the same time. The great and primary intelligence (God) can be with all of us in the same time.

57:4 He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Days; then He mounted the Throne. He knoweth all that entereth the earth and all that emergeth therefrom and all that cometh down from the sky and all that ascendeth therein; and He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah is Seer of what ye do. هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاء وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ (57:4

15- The ability of humans to clone sheep : assert to us that the resurrection is quite possible.

50:15 Were We then weary with the first creation, that they should be in confused doubt about a new creation? أَفَعَيِينَا بِالْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ بَلْ هُمْ فِي لَبْسٍ مِّنْ خَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ (50:15)

16- the law of parallel intelligence: the more intelligence you are using the more intelligence the thing you find created for example if you see a sword you can say that their is some intelligence that created the sword. If you see a rocket you would say there is more sophisticated intelligence that created the rocket. God invites us to gain the knowledge and figure that ourselves.

65:12 Allah it is who hath created seven heavens, and of the earth the like thereof. The commandment cometh down among them slowly, that ye may know that Allah is Able to do all things, and that Allah surroundeth all things in knowledgeاللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا (65:12

17-The idols are created: the idols as the sun, moon, stars and so one well known by recent science their physical composition and definitely they are not Gods but part of the creation and submit to the laws of the cosmos.

16:20 Those unto whom they cry beside Allah created naught, but are themselves created. -
وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ لاَ يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ (16:20)

18- We do not know all the creation: This fact continue to be true we continue to discover living organisms that are new to us. The dinosaurs which were very old are relatively new to us. One in the web was asking why the dinosaurs are not in the Bible and Quran. They were referred as part of wild animals and in particular the Quran mentioned that we do not know all that are created.

16:8 And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not.
وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ (16:8)
