but was created—perhaps some 14 billion years ago, through the ‘Big Bang.’ For several decades now, physicists have become increasingly aware that various fundamental parameters of this created universe appear to be very precisely finely tuned to allow the emergence of life, as exemplified in the excerpt above. The parameters being so finely tuned for life on Earth indicate the existence of a Fine-Tuner who finely tuned them in such a way as to enable the universe to host life. Another name for this Fine-Tuner is God. If the theory of Quantum Physics is applied to this issue, it can be said, “Probably there is a God.” This is a purely scientific position. However, at the level of human intuition, God’s existence is as proven as man’s. The meaningfulness that pervades the universe, the planning, the flawless design—all of these indicate the existence of a Supreme Mind. In the universe, mathematical precision is found to such a high degree that it can be said to demonstrate the existence of a mathematical Mind. The presence of intelligent design in the universe created by God and its perfectness were already mentioned in the Quran centuries before modern scientific discoveries that testify to them. However, through current scientific study, we learned many details about them, which are, as it were, a commentary on the brief statements of the Quran on this matter. Now that the river of knowledge has arrived here, the only thing that remains is to give the discovered ‘Intelligence’ or ‘Mind’ behind the universe the name of ‘God,’ as per religious terminology.
