The Miracles in our body

'A Half-Developed eye cannot see'

What comes to your mind first when you hear tha word 'eye'? Are you aware that one of the most crucial things in life for you is your ability to see? Even if you are, have you ever thought what other signs you r eye bears?

The eye is one of the most manifest pieces of evidence that living creatures are created. All sight organs, including animals eyes and the human eye, are extremely striking examples of a perfect design. This exceptional organ is so overwhelmingly complex that it surpasses even the most sophisticated devices in the world.

In order for an eye to see, all of its parts have to co-exist and work in harmony. For instance, if an eye happened to have lost it eyelid, but still had all the other parts such as corena, conjunctive, iris, pupil, eyelenses, retina, choroid, eye muscles, and tear glands, it would still be greatly damaged and soon lose its seeing function. In the same manner, even if all its organelles were present, if the tear production were stopped, the eye would soon dry out and become blind.

'The chain of coincidences' posited by evolutionists loses all its meaning against the complex structure of the eye. It is not possible to explain the existance of the eye other than as a matter of special creation. The eye has a multi-sectioned complex system and as discussed above, all of these individual sections had to come into existence at the same time. It is impossible for a half-developed eye to function at 'half capacity'.



The eye, which has an extremely complex structure, is not able to see in the absence of even a single one of its components, for instance the tear glands, when the act of seeing takes place.

In such circumstances, the act of seeing can by no means take place. An evolutionist scientist admits to this truth:

The common trait of the eyes and the wings is that they can only function if they are fully developed. In other words, a halfway-developed eye cannot see; a bird with half-formed wings cannot fly.

In this case, we again face that very important question: who created all of the components of the eye all at once?

The owner of the eyes is obviously not the one who makes the decision about their formation. For it is impossible for a being devoid of the knowledge of what seeing is like, to desire to have a seeing organ and have it attached to his body. So we have to accept the existence of a Possessor of superior Wisdom Who has created living beings with senses such as seeing, hearing and so on. Another claim is that unconscious cells gained consciousness-requiring function such as seeing and hearing by their own desire and effort. It is very clear that this is impossible. In the Qur'an it is stated that seeing has been bestowed upon living being by Allah:

Say: He is Who brought you into being and made for you the ears and the eyes and the heart: little is it that you give thanks. (Surat al-Mulk, 23)

The Formation of the Universe

Until the mid-20th century, the prevalent view across the world was that the unniverse was infinate, had existed forever and that it will continue to do so for all time. According to this view, known as the "static universe model," the universe has no end or beginning.

I n maintaining that the universe is a collection of fixed, static and unchanging substances, this view has constituted the basis of materialist philosophy and has constituted the basis of materialist philsophy and has consequently rejected the existence of a creator. However, as science and technology progressed during the 20th century, the static universe model has been completely uprooted.

We have now entered the 21st century and a new dawn is upon us. Through numerous experiments, observations and calculation conducted by some of the world's most prominent thinkers, modern physics has proven that the universe did indeed have a beginning, that it came into being from nothing in a single moment in a huge explosion. Furthermore, it has been established that the universe is not fixed and static, as materialists still stubbornly maintain. On the contrary, it is undergoing a constant process of movement, change and expansion.

These recently established facts all act as nails in the coffin of the static universe theory. Today, all these facts are universally accepted by the scientific community.

The origin of the universe is described in the Qura'n in the following verse:

"He created the heavens and the earth from nothing." (Qur'an, 6:101)

This information is in full agreement witht the finding of contemporary scientists. As we stated earlier, the conclusion that astrophysics has reached today is that the entire universe, together with the dimensions of matter and time, came into existencee as a result of a great explosion that occured a long time ago. This event, known as "The big bang", is the catalyst for the ceation of the universe from nothingness.This explosion, all parties in the scientific community agree, emanated from a single point some 15 billion tears ago. (See Harun Yahya, The creation of the universe, Al-Attique Publishers Inc., Canada, 2000)

Before the Big Bang, there was no such thing as matter. From a condition of non-existence in which neither matter, nor energy, nor even time existed and which can only be described metaphysically matter, energy and time where all the created in an instant. This fact only recently discovered by modern physics, was announced to us in the Qur'an 1300 years ago.
