The fact is that when there is design, there must also be a designer. We see that our world is well-designed. This should lead us to believe that there is a Designer of it— God Almighty. Then, Dr Richard Cheetham remarked that it was true that present-day physicists acknowledged that the immense meaningfulness of the universe testifies to the fact that the universe is the creation of some mind but remarked that biologists do not corroborate this. I responded that his statement was true, but the biologists’ stance was not based on scientific reality. The opinion of biologists was based entirely on a mere theory. Charles Darwin (d. 1802) presented just a hypothesis in this regard in the form of the Theory of Evolution, and then everyone accepted it as true. Darwin studied different forms of life and found considerable similarity in body structure between certain species. Thus, for example, there are certain similarities
