English book, p. 327

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

THE WISDOM OF CREATION Our earth is created according to a very proportionate balance. It is this wisdom behind God’s creation that is mentioned in the Quran in these words: “For everything He has a proper measure.” (The Quran, 13:8) in 1984, india sent two of its men, Mr ravish Malhotra and Mr rakesh sharma, into space with the help of russia. The two pilots spent ten months in russia’s star City in 1983. one of the things taught during their training was the russian language. at a press conference in Bangalore (Hindustan Times, July 24, 1983), the astronauts shared some exciting things about space. For example, one would gain about six centimetres during a space flight but return to one’s average height soon after returning to earth with the atmospheric pressure acting on the vertebrate. The elongation of the human body in space is due to weightlessness, for the force of gravity creates both weight and weightlessness. our earth is created according to a very proportionate balance. That is why human beings’ height is neither small nor large. if the size of the earth were halved compared to its current size, its gravity would be reduced. as a result, human beings would become disproportionately taller. instead of human beings having medium height, they would become disproportionately tall. imagine a world where camel-like human beings are seen standing everywhere
