Science and Belief in God

English book, p. 172

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Scientific studies also tell us that this universe is an expanding universe. Like a balloon, it is constantly expanding in the outward direction. From this, it can be proven that the universe had a definite beginning. It would have ended if it had been eternal because of its expanding nature. Therefore, it is proved that the universe has a beginning and that some pre-existing Being must have caused it to begin. For, a previously non-existent thing to come into being can only be possible if before it came into being, something or someone else existed who, through his will, caused it to come into being. Therefore, this is convincing evidence for the existence of a Creator, God Almighty, who preexisted in the universe and who caused it to come into being by His will. Uncountable phenomena in the universe prove that the Planner and Administrator of the universe are just One. The universe would have been chaotic if there had been more than one administrator. Consider the following facts to understand this point: The distance between the Earth and the Sun is around 93 million miles. This distance has been continuously maintained over millions of years. If any substantial change were to occur in this distance, it would have disastrous results. For example, if this distance were to increase to double, the Earth would turn so cold that water, animals, and humans would all freeze. On the other hand, if this distance were halved, the Earth would become so hot that everything, including man, would burn up and be finished off.
