It's raining now but as I've mentioned before I dearly love the rain :) except when it traps me in the library though...haha...but no matter, still loving it.
So what's with monday morning? I'd say something interesting happened in class. 1st period was Biology~ and we had a different approach today. My lecturer gave us 6 scientific articles to read through beforehand especially for today. What was the topic?
-EVOLUTION-
Well not exactly evolution but along those lines. She came in class and all of us sat in a circle for this big discussion. 'Evolution' a big word now don't you think? Supposedly explaining our existence but how true is it? Surely all of you know Darwin right? Well Darwin was famous for the book he wrote;
The Origin of Species. Many controversies resulted concerning the origin of us humans, whether or not we evolved from apes. I'd say of course not! But in order to say that, I must have a solid reason as to why. Reading the articles got me thinking. Not about whether or not the theory is true but about how I would justify it as being untrue. Scientists who came up with this theory are not just any Tom, Dick and Harry. For that I'd say they should be given respect for their opinions. Evolution is not just about apes becoming humans, it's also about other organisms forming a whole new species for their survival. There's a whole wider story to it and at some point the theory does fit but only to a certain extent.
You know what I think? I think the actual truth is it comes down to only ONE question.
'How did anything at all come to being?'On a small scale perhaps we can explain for instance the different species of cats. Looking back, they'd come from a common ancestor and up to that point we can explain their origin but how about the origin of that ancestor and the ancestor to that ancestor? Moving higher up, we're at a loss. Harshly said
, "Where the hell did everything come from? Arghhh!!!" (perhaps one of the monologues of a scientist? haha :P)
We are faced with one truth here. A truth some people would deny.
There are things in life that science just CANNOT explain. Don't get me wrong though, knowing the above statement shouldn't stop us from trying our best to discover what's out there. It shouldn't stop us from trying to explain things coz we do know that there is no end to Allah's knowledge. The above statement is merely for us
to know when to stop.
An explanation of the existence of nature used by many is that it simply existed. Nature is just there. If you ask me that explanation doesn't sound scientific at all yet people use it. Why? Because they have no answers.
This is where faith comes in. When discussing issues like this, I believe we should be open minded in hearing opinions from others. Put ourselves in their shoes for once, try seeing things from their perspective and not be biased to what we already know to be the truth. To me, only then will we make them see what we see. Only then will we be able to make them see the truth.
The truth in which there is no such thing as a 'design without a designer'. No such thing as a creation without a creator except for one which is Allah. Everything in this world has it's creator and that sole creator is Allah.
My brothers and sisters we have the answers. We have the answers to the extent that Allah gives us. To the extent that Allah shows us. Science may not be able to prove it but then again even science is His creation.
No creation is perfect but the Creator (Allah S.W.T) is.
Thank Allah for His religion coz without it we'd go mad. Without it, our questions would have been left unanswered. There are things we cannot reach. Things not meant for us to venture. Don't go meddling with things we don't know. Trust in Allah coz Allah knows best. Don't just say that but believe it.
It all comes down to one.
Lailahaillallah...
