What if you find a watch in the sand?

Suppose you find a watch in the middle of a desert. What would you
conclude? Would you think that someone dropped the watch? Or would you
suppose that the watch came by itself?
Of course no sane personwould say that the watch just happened to
emerge from the sand. All the intricate working parts could not simply
develop from the metals the lay buried in the earth. The watch must
have a manufacturer.
If a watch tells accurate time we expect the manufacturer must be
intelligent. Blind chance cannot produce a working watch.
But what else tells accurate time? Consider the sunrise and sunset.
Their timings are so strictly regulated that scientists can publish in
advance the sunrise and sunset times in your daily newspapers. But who
regulates the timings of sunrise and sunset? If a watch can not work
without an intelligent maker, how can the sun appear to rise and set
with such clockwork regularity? Could this occur by itself?
Consider also that we benefit from the sun only because it remains at
a safe distance from the earth, a distance thataverages 93 million
miles. If it got much closer the earth would burn up. And if it got
toofar away the earth would turn into an icy planet making human life
here impossible. Who decided in advancethat this was the right
distance? Could it just happen by chance?
Without the sun plants would not grow. Then animals and humans would
starve. Did the sun just decide to be there for us?
The rays of the sun would be dangerous for us had it not been for the
protective ozone layer in our atmosphere.The atmosphere around earth
keeps the harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching us. Who was it that
placed this shield around us?
We need to experience sunrise. We need the sun's energy and it's light
to see our way during the day. But we also need sunset. We need a
break from the heat, we need the cook of night and we need the lights
to out so we may sleep. Who regulated this process toprovide what we
need?
Moreover, if we had onlythe sun and the protection of the atmosphere
we would want something more-beauty. Our clothes provide warmth and
protection, yet we design them to also look beautiful. Knowing or need
for beauty, the designer of sunrise and sunset also made the view of
them to be simply breathtaking.
The creator who gave uslight, energy, protection and beauty deserves
ourthanks. Yet some people insist that he does not exist. What would
they think if they found a watch in the desert? An accurate, working
watch? A beautifully designed watch? Would they not conclude that
there does exist a watchmaker? An intelligent watchmaker? One who
appreciates beauty? Such is God whomade us. SubhanAllah!
