with the mini­mum of effort, he has his clothes, houses, furniture, machines, vehicles and all the other components and acces­sories of his civilization. Are such occurrences not sufficient to prove that there is indeed a Maker and a Master of this world? The earth rotates unceasingly in two ways – on its own axis and in orbit around the sun.

There are countless stars and planets moving around in space: they keep to the same speed, never lagging behind, and never exceeding their set pace. All these are miracles of the highest order. They are far more wonderful than anything that man can create, and they happen every instant in this world of ours. What fur­ther proof do we need that the power of a Great God lies behind this world?
