Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)<br />

The Creator is different from—and superior to—all that we see, a<br />

Superior Power Who is invisible to our eyes, but Whose existence<br />

and attributes are revealed in everything that He creates.<br />

This is where those who deny Allah's existence are led astray.<br />

They are conditioned not to believe in Allah's existence unless they<br />

see Him with their own eyes, forced to conceal the actuality of Creation<br />

manifested all throughout the universe, and to claim that the<br />

universe and all the living things it contains have not been created.<br />

In order to do so, they resort to falsehoods. Evolutionary theory is<br />

one key example of their lies and vain endeavors to this end.<br />

The basic mistake of those who deny Allah is shared by many<br />

others who don't actually deny His existence, but have wrong perceptions<br />

of Him. These people, constituting the majority of society<br />

in some countries, do not deny Creation openly, but have superstitious<br />

beliefs about Allah, most believing that He is only "up in the<br />

sky." They tacitly and falsely imagine that Allah is off behind some<br />

very distant planet and only occasionally interferes with worldly affairs.<br />

Or perhaps He doesn't intervene at all: He created the universe,<br />

and then left it to itself, leaving humans to determine their<br />

fates for themselves. (Surely Allah is beyond that.)<br />

Still others are aware of the fact that Allah is "everywhere," as revealed<br />

in the Qur'an, but cannot fully understand what this means.<br />

Superstitiously, they think that Allah surrounds all matter like radio<br />

waves or like an invisible, intangible gas. (Allah is certainly beyond<br />

that.)<br />

However, this and other notions that cannot clarify "where"<br />

Allah is (and unwisely deny His apparent existence perhaps because<br />

of this) are all based on a common mistake: They hold a<br />

groundless prejudice that moves them to wrong opinions about<br />

Allah.<br />

What is this prejudice? It concerns the existence and nature of<br />

matter. Some people have been so conditioned to the mistaken ideas<br />
