God’s Existence

English book, p. 64

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Earth, filling the earth with water. Subsequently, life and everything related to life emerged. Who but the Divine Designer could have devised such an amazing and orderly design that the universe displays? Referring to the signs in the universe, Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (1844-1906), an Austrian physicist and philosopher, remarked: “Was it a God who wrote these signs, revealing the hidden and mysterious forces of nature around me, which fill my heart with quiet joy?” The answer to Boltzmann’s query is most definitely in the affirmative. In 1989, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States sent a particular satellite called the Cosmic Background Explorer into space to further study the ‘Bing Bang’ event. This satellite has sent images of upper space, revealing the presence of ripples on the surface of the outer regions of the universe. This finding is not limited to the ripples discovered by the ‘Bing Bang’ but extends to the countless phenomena spread throughout the cosmos. When serious humans study the universe, they may ponder, like Boltzmann, asking, “Was it a God who wrote these signs?” When the scientific study of the universe is conducted, it becomes evident that the entire cosmos is flawless. In the vast expanse of space, countless stars and planets are constantly in motion, yet unlike our cities, accidents do not occur in them. It seems as if, in the immense space, there is an accident-free traffic system operating on a grand scale.
