grasp through reason and personal observation, since the creation
of first human being. All divine religions have taught that God
created the universe by commanding "Be!" and that its flawless
functioning is proof of His great power of creation. Many verses in
the Qur'an also reveal this truth. For example, God reveals how He
miraculously created the universe from nothing: " The Originator of
the heavens and Earth. When He decides on something, He just says
to it, 'Be!' and it is " (Surat al-Baqara, 117).
We are also told in the Qur'an:
He created the heavens and Earth with truth. The day He says "Be!" it
is. His speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the Day the
Trumpet is blown, the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He is
the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (Surat al-An'am, 73)
We all know that present day science demonstrates the invalidity of
the materialist-evolutionist claim and confirms the fact of
creation. Contrary to the claims of the theory of evolution, all the
proofs of creation that surround us show that chance had no role in
the universe's coming into existence. Every detail that emerges as
we observe the sky, Earth, and all living things is intended as
evidence of God's great power and wisdom.
God Created the Universe from Nothing
God creates everything, in the form and at the time that He chooses,
without the use of any model and out of nothing. Since He is
exalted above any defect and is rich beyond any need. He has no need
of any cause, vehicle, or stages for His creation. Nobody should be
deceived by the fact that everything is linked to given causes and
natural laws. God is beyond all these causes and laws, since He
created them.
God, the Lord of the Earth and the Heavens, can also do away with
these causes if He so wills. For instance, He can create people who
do not need oxygen to survive, and therefore do not need any lungs.
Given this, why would He "need" to perfect the lung by making it
evolve over time or through any other mechanism? It is therefore
completely wrong for people to think of God's greatness and might
as being limited to their own feelings and reason. We can have
knowledge only to the extent that He permits.
God can use particular stages in His creation if He so wills. For
example, He produces a plant from a seed or a human being from the
coming together of a sperm and an egg cell. Yet these stages have
nothing to do with evolution and have no room for chance or
coincidence. Every stage in the emergence of a plant, or the turning
of a single cell into a human being "in the best of forms," happens
thanks to the perfect systems created by God's infinite might.
God willed and created the Earth and the Heavens, all that lies
between, and all living and non-living things. This is very easy for
Him, as indicated in the Qur'an:
He created the heavens and Earth with truth. The day He says "Be!" it
is. His speech is Truth... (Surat al-An'am, 73)
Our Word to a thing when We will it is just to say to it "Be!" and
it is. (Surat an-Nahl, 40)
He gives life and causes to die. When He decides on something, He
just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Surah Ghafir, 68)
Creation is very easy for God. As revealed in these verses, God says
to a thing "Be!," thereby willing it to be so. God reveals in many
verses that He created the universe and living things in perfect
form. It is a grave mistake for believers to adhere to forced
explanations in the face of this evident truth and to make such
specious claims that God employed evolution to create and used
mutation, natural selection, and transitional stages between apes
and humans. It is quite wrong to put forward such accounts, for
which there is no evidence in either the Qur'an or science, in the
hope of being accepted by evolutionists.
God makes all the laws in the universe and gives them the form He
chooses, brings about what He wills and when He wills it, permeates
everything in the Earth and the Heavens, and rules everything with
His power. Yet some people do not fully comprehend His might and thus
judge Him based upon their own limited powers.
God reveals their existence in the Qur'an:
They do not measure God with His true measure when they say: "God
would not send down anything to a mere human being."... (Surat
al-An'am, 91)
They do not measure God with His true measure. God is All-Strong,
Almighty. (Surat al-Hajj, 74)
They do not measure God with His true measure. The whole Earth will
be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Resurrection the heavens
folded up in His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above
the partners they ascribe! (Surataz-Zumar, 67)
Contrary to what those who believe in evolutionary creation
suggest, God did not first create apes and then cause them to evolve
into humans through flawed transitional forms with missing organs.
Rather, as the Qur'an reveals, God created man in the most perfect
manner:
We created man in the finest mold. (Surat at-Tin, 4)
He created the heavens and Earth with truth and formed you, giving
you the best of forms. And He is your final destination. (Surat
at-Taghabun, 3)
These verses are some of the proofs that God created man in perfect
form, in other words, the form that he has now.
Of course, man also has several incapacities and weaknesses, all of
which remind him of his poverty before our Lord. Deformities and
disabilities are the results of a purposeful creation, for they
serve as reminders for those who see them and as a test for those
who carry them. They are not imperfections caused by evolutionary
process as falsely claimed by the evolutionists.
In the Qur'an, God describes how easy creation is for Him:
Does He Who created the heavens and Earth not have the power to
create the same again? Yes indeed! He is the Creator, the
All-Knowing. (Surah Ya Sin, 81)
Your creation and resurrection is only like that of a single self.
God is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Surah Luqman, 28)
