The Verdict of Nature

The Verdict of Nature

1990 4 April 15 The Verdict of Nature (298) Recent research in molecular biology has shown on the basis of genetic evidence, that the peoples of the entire world belong to one great family, all having come from a common ancestor.

If you ever travel to Canada from the United States, you will see that at the boundary line between these two countries, both of their flags are flying side by side. Near them is a board inscribed with the words:

Children of a common mother.

What is expressly stated on a board set up on the borders of the United States and Canada is a truth which could very well be repeated at the borders of every country in the world, because that is a fact of nature now substantiated by modern science,

Recent research in molecular biology has shown, on the basis of genetic evidence, that the peoples of the entire world belong to one great family, all having come from a common ancestor. (For details, see Ta’mir ki Taraf by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, pp. 28-30)

That being so, we must heartily endorse what is inscribed on the board at the borders of the United States and Canada. Biological facts require that every nation now set up a similar board at its frontiers.

This is a test for man in the present world. Here man has to do the same of his own free will as has already been done, by nature in accordance with its own immutable laws. What nature has written in invisible form, man must write with his own hand on the pages of his life. To do this, man must mould his thinking and actions to bring them into line with Nature’s great scheme of things.

Being in accordance with Nature’s plan is a constructive approach: deviating from it spells destruction.
