Without doubt, the stars have not come into existence by chance. Are they the regulator and
creator of these worlds? How are these organized, complicated operations are explained with an
explanation depends on chance and random? "How can we explain this regularity in the
phenomena of the cosmos, the causal relationships, integration, purpose, harmony, and balance
that in harmony with all the phenomena, and their effects pass from an age to another? How does
this cosmos function without the regulating Creator, Who has created and originated it, and
regulated the rest of its affairs?" John William Kotsu has said: "Surely this world where we live is
so perfect and complicated that it is impossible for it to arise from the pure chance. It is full of
wonderful things and complicated affairs that are in need of a regulator and which cannot be
ascribed to a blind fate. Without doubt the sciences have helped us increase, understand, and
estimate the phenomena of this cosmos; they, thereby, have increased our knowledge of Allah
and our faith in His Existence."[3]
2. The Earth
Among the wonderful signs of Allah is His creating this planet where we live; He, the Most High,
has made it turn on its axis one time every 24 hours. The earth moves at a speed of 1000 miles per
hour. If this planet turned on its axis at the speed of 100 miles per hour, then night and day would
be ten times as many as they are now, the sun would burn all plants in summer; in cold nights the
plants and animals on it would become frozen. Likewise if the sun came close to the earth more
than it is now, the rays would be so much that the life on it would be impossible. Similarly if the
sun became far from the earth more than it is now, the vice versa would happen, the rays wold be
few, the severity of cold would be too much that the life on it would be impossible. If the earth
was as small as the moon or its diameter was quarter of its present diameter, it would fall short of
keeping atmosphere and water that encompasses it; the heat would be too much that it brought
about death. If its diameter was twice as much as its present one, then its

gravity to bodies would be twice as much as it is now. Accordingly the height of the atmosphere
would decrease and the atmospheric pressure would increase, and it would have a strong effect
on life. For the distance of the cold regions would be very wide, and the distance of the residential
areas would quickly decrease. Accordingly human societies would separately live or they would
live in distant regions; therefore isolation among them would increase; travels and
communications would be impossible; rather it would be a kind of imagination.[1] If the earth was
as big as the sun, then its gravity to the bodies on it would be 150 folds, and accordingly the
height of the atmosphere would decrease; the weight of an animal would be 150 folds and mental
life would be impossible in general.[2]
