telecommunications etc.) were actually a case of discovering and applying the laws of nature. Human civilization used divine ideas, without duly acknowledging their Creator! In fact, whenever a law of nature was discovered it was attributed to the scientist who discovered it. Newton discovered a law and it came to be known as the Newtonian law. Did these scientists create these laws? They merely discovered their existence in nature. Given this, it was mandatory for scientists to acknowledge that their discoveries were divine principles. They failed to do so, making the entire history of modern technical development a case of super-plagiarism. These discoveries known as scientific laws are actually divine laws. To uncover the divine laws in nature and present them as our own scientific laws is without doubt super plagiarism. The American journalist had indulged in plagiarism in just one article; whereas the entire development of the modern human civilization is one of super plagiarism. One is individual plagiarism, the other is global plagiarism. Modern science discovered a world referred to as the ‘intelligent universe’. The notion of a mechanical model of universe—prevalent at the time of Newton—is no longer endorsed in scientific circles. The current model accepts that the universe has an intelligent design. (Refer to Fred Hoyle’s book, ‘The Intelligent Universe’). With intelligent design established, the existence of an Intelligent Designer was proved. The scientific fraternity came close to discovering God but failed to acknowledge Him. When a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory made public a statement referring to ‘Intelligent Design’, he was sacked! The Theory of Evolution, seeks to explain the phenomena of life without God. This is another act of plagiarism. A relevant verse of the Quran and a related Hadith are mentioned here: The wonders of the Quran will not end; newer meanings will forever be discovered. (Mishkat) Man discovered the laws present in nature ushering in a civilization full of technological developments. But in doing so, he attributed these greatest of scientific feats to himself and did not acknowledge God’s blessings.
