<title>CAN ATOMS THINK?</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=20259</link>
<description><![CDATA[ After the Big Bang, a super powerful explosion that marked the beginning of the universe, particles emerged and came together as atoms. Well, do you know what an atom is?

Let us first explain to you what an atom is like. We can compare the atoms to marbles. But these marbles would be too tiny, unlike anything you have seen before.

Now, look around you! Everything that you see in reality is made of these marbles, namely the atoms. The chair on which you are sitting, the book in your hand, your mother, your teacher at school, the television that you watch, apples, melons, and the chocolates in the kitchen, your pet, water, the flowers in your garden, your toys, and even your body, all are made up of these atoms. As we explained earlier, the stars and suns that make up the universe and the world in which we live are also formed of atoms just like you. In all the places in which you go about and all the corners that you turn, there are atoms.

You cannot see these little things that we call atoms, because they are a lot smaller than you can imagine. They are so small that even with the largest microscopes, it isn't possible to see even one of them. To be able to comprehend the tiny size of the atom, look at this example:

Imagine that you have a key in your hand. Without a doubt, it is impossible for you to see the atoms that make up this key. If you say, &quot;I must see these atoms&quot;, then you must visualise the key to be as large as earth. If you were able to visualise the key to be as large as earth then every atom inside it would be as large as cherries and so you could see them.

Well, how did all the atoms come together after the Big Bang? The atoms are lifeless. They don't have any minds or any intelligence. They cannot make any decisions. They cannot say, for example, &quot;Come on, let's get together and form a star&quot; or &quot;Let's come closer and form earth&quot;. We can also use the following example: We already mentioned a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces of this puzzle are lifeless and, like atoms, they cannot make decisions. If you spread them about, they cannot have thoughts such as &quot;Well, let's get together and form a castle or a human!&quot;

Then let's ask again: &quot;How did all these stars, planets, humans and animals that are made up of atoms come into being? If the atoms did not make a decision, then who put them together?&quot;

Of course, nothing around us can occur by coincidence. Allah is the One Who brings atoms together. Allah has created all the vastness of space, the planets, stars, earth, animals, plants and humans from atoms.

<title>THE PEERLESS PLANET: EARTH</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=17669</link>
<description><![CDATA[ Think for a moment about what is necessary for a man to survive. Water, the sun, oxygen, the atmosphere, plants and animals&hellip; All kinds of details, all kinds of conditions you can or can't think of at that moment are naturally available on the Earth. In addition, when we investigate further, we can see that all these vital needs have a web of interrelated details, and that all these details exist in their full splendor on Earth. Everything on Earth, its living things, plants, the sky, and the seas, all these have been created in the best and most complete way in order to suit the existence and survival of humanity.

Along with the Earth, there are also other planets in our solar system. However, among these planets, the only planet that is suitable for life is Earth. The distance of the Earth from the sun, the rotational speed of the Earth on its axis, the inclination of its axis to its orbit, the structure of the Earth's surface and many other independent factors much like these enable our planet to enjoy a warm temperature which is appropriate for life and to diffuse this warmth all over the Earth in a homogeneous way. The composition of the Earth's atmosphere and the size of the Earth are also just as they should be. The light coming to us from the sun, the water we drink, and the foods we enjoy are extremely suitable for our lives.





In short, any sort of close look at the planet we live on will show us that the Earth was designed especially for man. For us to see that the conditions on Earth were specially designed, it will be enough to take a rough look at conditions on other planets. Take Mars, for example. The atmosphere of Mars is a toxic mixture containing a heavy dose of carbon dioxide. There is no water on the surface of the planet. Huge craters caused by the impact of massive meteors are obvious in the picture on the right. As for the weather, monster storms and sandstorms which last for months on end are quite common. The temperature averages -53oC (-64oF).

Considering these features as a whole, Mars, which among our neighboring planets shares the most in common with the Earth, is clearly a dead planet where life is not possible. This comparison palpably demonstrates that the features which make the Earth a livable place are truly tremendous blessings. The One Who has created the entire universe, formed perfectly its stars, planets, mountains and seas, is Allah. Throughout our lives, we should be thankful for His creations and blessings, and take Him as a friend and protector. Allah, Who is the owner of all these things, is the One Who is worthy of all praise. Allah informs us of this fact in the Qur'an:

Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed? If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nahl: 17-18) ]]></description>

<title>THE PERFECT MEASURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=15742</link>
<description><![CDATA[ Earth's physical features&mdash;mass, structure, temperature and so on&ndash;are &quot;just right for life&quot;. Such features alone are not enough to allow life to exist on Earth however. Another vital factor is the composition of the atmosphere.

Science fiction films sometimes mislead people. One example of this is the &ldquo;suitable atmospheric conditions&rdquo; that are frequently encountered in these films. Astronauts approaching a distant planet in their spacecraft look to see whether the atmosphere is breathable or not before landing. When the computer on their ship reports that the atmosphere is &ldquo;suitable,&rdquo; there is no need for any further protective measures &hellip;

These scenarios give people the impression that mankind could easily and randomly find suitable atmospheres. If we could explore the real universe, we would discover that this is not true at all: the possibility of another planet's having an atmosphere that we could breathe is minute. That is because the atmosphere of the Earth is specially designed to support life in a number of crucial ways. Even a short way beyond this atmosphere it is impossible to survive without protective clothing.

The atmosphere of Earth is composed of 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide. Let's start with the most important gas: oxygen. Oxygen is vitally important to life because it enters into most of the chemical reactions that release the energy that the complex life forms like human beings require.
The interesting aspect of this is that the percentage of oxygen in the air we breathe is very precisely determined. In his book Nature's Destiny: How the Laws of Biology Reveal Purpose in the Universe the famous professor of microbiology Michael Denton writes: 

Could your atmosphere contain more oxygen and still support life? No! Oxygen is a very reactive element. Even the current percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere, 21 percent, is close to the upper limit of safety for life at ambient temperatures. The probability of a forest fire being ignited increases by as much as 70 percent for every 1 percent increase in the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere. (Michael Denton, Nature's Destiny:How The Laws of Biology Reveal Purpose in the Universe, The New York: The Free Press, 1998, p. 121)

The fact that the proportion of oxygen in the atmosphere remains at this precise value is the result of a marvelous &quot;recycling&quot; system: Animals constantly consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, which, for them, is not breathable. Plants do just the opposite: they take in carbon dioxide, which they need to live, and release oxygen instead. So, life goes on. Plants release millions of tons of oxygen into the atmosphere every day.

Without the cooperation and balance of these two different groups of living things, our planet would be uninhabitable. For example, if living things only took in carbon dioxide and released oxygen, the Earth's atmosphere would support combustion much more easily than it does and even a tiny spark could set off enormous fires.
Similarly, if both took in oxygen and released carbon dioxide, life would eventually die out when all the oxygen had been used up.

However, the balance of life has been so perfectly set up that the oxygen in the atmosphere is always at the ideal level for life. A balance so flawlessly designed and that remains so perfect at every moment shows once again the infinite knowledge and power of its Creator. That Lord of Universe, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, is the Almighty Allah.

Allah calls on to man to consider this truth in a verse from the Qur&rsquo;an:

Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you everything in the heavens and earth and has showered His blessings upon you, both outwardly and inwardly? ... (Surah Luqman, 20)

<title>THE PERFECT EQUILIBRIUM IN THE UNIVERSE</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=13234</link>
<description><![CDATA[ He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any discrepancy in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again-do you see any gaps? Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted! (Surat Al-Mulk, 3-4)

The billions of stars and galaxies in the universe move in perfect equilibrium in the paths set out for them. Stars, planets and satellites rotate not only around their own axes but also together with the systems of which they are an integral part. Sometimes, galaxies containing 200-300 billion stars move across each others' paths. Yet amazingly, no collisions take place that might damage the great order in the universe. This miracle is something over which all of us should reflect.

In the universe, the concept of speed assumes giant dimensions when compared to earthly measurements. Stars, planets, galaxies and conglomerations of galaxies-whose numerical properties can only be conceived by mathematicians-weigh billions or trillions of tons, and move through space at extraordinary speeds.

For example, the Earth rotates at 1,670 kmph (1,038 mph). If we consider that the fastest-moving bullet today possesses an average speed of 1,800 kmph, we can see how fast the Earth is moving, despite its enormous size and mass.

The speed of the Earth as it orbits the Sun is some 60 times faster than a bullet: 108,000 kmph. If we were able to construct a vehicle capable of moving at that speed, it would be able to circumnavigate the Earth in 22 minutes. These figures apply only to the Earth.

Those for the Solar System are even more fascinating. The speed of that system is such as to exceed the bounds of reason: The larger the systems in the universe, the greater their speed. The Solar System's speed of orbit around the centre of the galaxy is 720,000 kmph. The Milky Way, with its 200 billion or so stars, moves through space at 950,000 kmph.

There is no doubt that there is a very high risk of collisions in such a complicated and fast-moving system. Yet nothing of the sort actually happens and we continue with our lives in complete safety. That is because everything in the universe functions according to the flawless equilibrium set out by Allah. It is for this reason that, as stated in the verse, there is no &quot;discrepancy&quot; in the system. ]]></description>
