Epigraph:

Indeed in the heavens and the earth are Signs for those who believe. Likewise, in your own creation, and in that of all the other creatures that He spread out in the earth are Signs for a people who possess faith. (Al Quran 45:3-4)

The agnostics and the atheists propose an infinite or ten raised to the five hundred universes to explain our universe and yet refuse to have faith in a Creator God.

They claim that quantum physics is so complex that hardly anyone or only the top few physicist can understand it and yet call it a fluke or accident and refuse to have faith in a Creator God.

They claim that they can calculate gravity but do not understand the basic nature or the deeper mystery of all the forces of nature including gravity, yet feel confident that these are a fluke of nature and refuse to have faith in a Creator God.

Scientists have little explanation yet of how life began on our planet but refuse to have faith in a Creator God and more than three fourth of the top scientists are atheists.

The believers, who believe in guided evolution are amazed and awe struck at how God created all the nine million existing life forms in both plant and animal kingdom and the five billion extinct species from a single cell organism and spread this creative drama over billions of years, but the agnostics and the atheists refuse to have faith in a Creator God.

The holy Quran in a way beautifully describes this 21st century reality and did so fourteen centuries ago in a time when the desert dwelling Arabs, who were the first addressee, had little or no concern about matters of origin of life or cosmology.

This indeed is the miracle of the Quran, no wonder the Surah that begins with the verses quoted as epigraph concludes with the following:

All praise and grandeur belongs to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of all the worlds. His is the Greatness in the heavens and the earth; and He is the Mighty, the Wise. (Al Quran 45:36-37)
