By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Nature and Science Speak about God ~ 133 ~ of modern physics ‘the universe cannot admit of material representation, and the reason, I think, is that it has become a mere mental concept.’6 Accordingly, one may say that illusory trains apparently filled with imaginary passengers cross unreal rivers on immaterial bridges formed of mental concepts. The second concept, that the world of matter and energy arose of itself out of nothing, is likewise too absurd a supposition for any consideration. The third concept, that the universe existed eternally, has one element in common with the concept of creation; either inanimate matter with it’s incorporated energy, or a Personal Creator, is eternal. No greater intellectual difficulty exists in the one concept than in the other. But the laws of thermodynamics (heat) indicate that the universe is running down to a condition when all bodies will be at the same extremely low temperature and no energy will be available.
