The Universe: A Mirror

THE UNIVERSE TESTIFIES TO GOD’S EXISTENCE Neem tree, people who deny the Creator say that it came into existence on its own or that ‘Nature’ produced it! The Neem tree is undoubtedly more excellent than any artificial insecticide. Extraordinary intelligence is very clearly present in its very structure. How strange are those who accept a factory-made insecticide as a product of intelligence but do not accept the same for the Neem tree? Intelligence in the creation Once, I read an article about honeybees. In it, among other things, it mentioned that some 550 busy bees must collect the nectar of as many as 2.5 million flowers to make just one pound of honey. There are innumerable signs inside the humble honeybee. The above point is just one among them. If man reflects on these signs, he can be overwhelmed with the awareness of the greatness of God. What does the honeybee do? It sucks the nectar of flowers and, through a process, prepares honey. But that is not the only work it does. Along with this, it performs several other essential tasks. One of these is the pollination of plants, or the transfer of pollen from one plant to another. The bees carry the pollen grains from one flower to other flowers so they can fertilize the cells of the new plants. In this way, bees help in fertilizing plants through the process of pollination. This task is so vital that it can be said that giving nectar to the bees is the fee plants pay for the fertilizing service of honeybees.
