20 ETERNITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN The purpose of this book is to help man before he comes to a stage of an irreversible remorsee, on "that day" when man will go to Allah's Presence "all alone just as We created you at first." (Surat al- An'am: 94) The real nature of matter is first addressed, therefore, from a scientific perspective. As we have earlier stated, the subjects described here are definitely not a matter of opinion or a philosophical idea, but facts proved in many areas of science. Moreover, this subject is not a complex, incomprehensible or difficult one, as is commonly supposed. Anyone who does not flinch from thinking and who sincerely reflects upon reality will easily come to a very important conclusion in terms of his own life, once he has grasped these facts. What you will read now will perhaps become the key to many issues which you were hitherto unable to resolve or completely understand; you will have a fuller comprehension of crucial concepts in depth and live by acknowledging the meaning of life. The Long Discussed Question: What is the Real Nature of Matter? Those who contemplate their surroundings conscientiously and wisely realize that everything in the universe—both living and nonliving—must have been created. So the question becomes, "Who is the Creator of all these things?" It is evident that the Creation that reveals itself in every aspect of the universe cannot be an outgrowth of the universe itself. For example, no insect could have created itself, nor could the solar system have created or organized itself. Neither could plants, humans, bacteria, red-blood cells, nor butterflies have created themselves. As this book explains throughout, any possibility that all these could have originated "by chance" is unimaginable. Therefore, we arrive at the following conclusion: Everything that we see has been created, but nothing we see can itself be a "creator."

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) The Creator is different from—and superior to—all that we see, a Superior Power Who is invisible to our eyes, but Whose existence and attributes are revealed in everything that He creates. This is where those who deny Allah's existence are led astray. They are conditioned not to believe in Allah's existence unless they see Him with their own eyes, forced to conceal the actuality of Creation manifested all throughout the universe, and to claim that the universe and all the living things it contains have not been created. In order to do so, they resort to falsehoods. Evolutionary theory is one key example of their lies and vain endeavors to this end. The basic mistake of those who deny Allah is shared by many others who don't actually deny His existence, but have wrong perceptions of Him. These people, constituting the majority of society in some countries, do not deny Creation openly, but have superstitious beliefs about Allah, most believing that He is only "up in the sky." They tacitly and falsely imagine that Allah is off behind some very distant planet and only occasionally interferes with worldly affairs. Or perhaps He doesn't intervene at all: He created the universe, and then left it to itself, leaving humans to determine their fates for themselves. (Surely Allah is beyond that.) Still others are aware of the fact that Allah is "everywhere," as revealed in the Qur'an, but cannot fully understand what this means. Superstitiously, they think that Allah surrounds all matter like radio waves or like an invisible, intangible gas. (Allah is certainly beyond that.) However, this and other notions that cannot clarify "where" Allah is (and unwisely deny His apparent existence perhaps because of this) are all based on a common mistake: They hold a groundless prejudice that moves them to wrong opinions about Allah. What is this prejudice? It concerns the existence and nature of matter. Some people have been so conditioned to the mistaken ideas 21

<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />

The purpose of this book is to help man before he comes to a<br />

stage of an irreversible remorsee, on "that day" when man will go to<br />

Allah's Presence "all alone just as We created you at first." (Surat al-<br />

An'am: 94)<br />

The real nature of matter is first addressed, therefore, from a scientific<br />

perspective. As we have earlier stated, the subjects described<br />

here are definitely not a matter of opinion or a philosophical idea,<br />

but facts proved in many areas of science. Moreover, this subject is<br />

not a complex, incomprehensible or difficult one, as is commonly<br />

supposed. Anyone who does not flinch from thinking and who sincerely<br />

reflects upon reality will easily come to a very important conclusion<br />

in terms of his own life, once he has grasped these facts.<br />

What you will read now will perhaps become the key to many issues<br />

which you were hitherto unable to resolve or completely understand;<br />

you will have a fuller comprehension of crucial concepts<br />

in depth and live by acknowledging the meaning of life.<br />

The Long Discussed Question:<br />

What is the Real Nature of Matter?<br />

Those who contemplate their surroundings conscientiously and<br />

wisely realize that everything in the universe—both living and nonliving—must<br />

have been created. So the question becomes, "Who is<br />

the Creator of all these things?"<br />

It is evident that the Creation that reveals itself in every aspect of<br />

the universe cannot be an outgrowth of the universe itself. For example,<br />

no insect could have created itself, nor could the solar system<br />

have created or organized itself. Neither could plants, humans, bacteria,<br />

red-blood cells, nor butterflies have created themselves. As<br />

this book explains throughout, any possibility that all these could<br />

have originated "by chance" is unimaginable.<br />

Therefore, we arrive at the following conclusion: Everything that<br />

we see has been created, but nothing we see can itself be a "creator."
