God and the Universe
English book, p. 213
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
THE UNIVERSE TESTIFIES TO GOD’S EXISTENCE We are ready to believe that there is indeed a driver of a train without seeing him in the real sense. The same logic should apply concerning the existence of God, too. Deniers of God say that this world came into being by chance and has no originator or creator. But for this vast universe, which is so meaningful, to come into being through mere chance is just not possible. It would be much more unlikely an occurrence than an entire train coming into existence from an explosion that happened by chance in a rubbish dump! FLAWLESS SYSTEM OF GOD’S UNIVERSE In June 1988, an Iran Air passenger plane took off from Tehran. It was passing over the Persian Gulf towards Dubai when an American military ship (USS Vincennes) shot it down and caused it to crash, causing the death of its 290 passengers and crew. This was undoubtedly a terrible deed. Why do such events occur? A US naval officer explained the event as a result of a computer error. Their computer mistook the passenger plane for a military aircraft, so they attacked it. That American naval ship probably had the most modern radars and computers available. This system could survey planes flying in the sky and specify on the radar screen whose planes they were: if they belonged to ‘friends’ or to ‘foes.’
