Proof of the Existence of God

English book, p. 110

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

throughout the universe, one proof of which is evident in the above-cited example of the solar eclipse. Some people who deny the existence of God claim that the present universe came into being through chance or accident, not by the decision of any Creator. However, this is not correct. If it is accepted that the present meaningful universe emerged as a result of an accident, the necessary consequence would be that we should also have to accept that the numerous accidents that occur in this world are also phenomena that can bring into existence meaningful things. In such a situation, the ‘accident’ that supposedly brought the universe must be repeatable. The universe should come into existence repeatedly because accidents happen frequently. If an unconscious accident has supposedly created a meaningful universe once, in the same way, it should happen a second time that a meaningful universe should come into being through an accident. However, as is known, never again has a universe other than the one that exists come into being after the existing universe did. According to scientific estimates, the universe’s age is around 15 billion years. Why has a meaningful universe come into being in this long period just once and never again after that, not even partially? For example, as far as we know, it has never happened that a new solar system has been created once again or that a planet like Earth has come into being, a planet with water, air and greenery and where humans and animals live and move about. It is clear evidence of creation resulting from a conscious decision by a Creator, and not as an accident.
