God and the Universe

English book, p. 166

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

there is an extremely meaningful world in an entirely meaningless cosmos. This event shows that the planet Earth is a unique exception in this vast universe. This exception is no simple matter. Exception proves intervention, and intervention proves the existence of an Intervenor, and when the existence of an Intervenor is proved, the existence of God is also proved. FROM DENIAL TO BELIEF There are countless examples of superb organization throughout the universe, far surpassing even the most advanced systems of man-made machines. It is simply unthinkable that the formidably complicated system of the universe could have come into existence without a Creative Intelligence being behind it. There is something utterly irrational in refusing to believe in the Organiser of an organized universe. The human mind has, thus, no rational grounds for denying the existence of God. We have to concede that there is a formidable array of facts in the universe that cannot be explained unless we admit the role of a superior Mind or God Almighty. In the following statement of belief, George Earl Davis, an American physicist, makes perhaps the best summing-up of the situation: “If a universe could create itself, then it would embody the powers of a Creator, a God, and we should be forced to conclude that the universe itself is a God.
