A Fallacy

English book, p. 81

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

A FALLACY The discoveries in modern science were the wonders of God. Nature is so well designed that it is inconceivable that it should have no designer. T he discoveries in modern science were, in fact, discoveries of the wonders of God. They amounted to an opening of a treasure house of the realization of the Creator. But because the Western scholars who worked in this field were all of a secular mind, their discoveries, in effect, came to support secular theories and ideas instead of providing academic support for the realization of God. However, this secularization of science was nothing but a fallacy. For instance, a Western thinker writes of the discoveries in modern science that reveal that a law of causation governs nature and that if events are the results of natural causes, they are not supernatural. But this is a fallacy. The law of nature is not an explanation in itself; it needs an explanation. This being so, it would be more appropriate to say: “If laws control events, then there must be a controller of laws.”
