The Symmetry in Nature Cannot Originate by Chance
One
of the most striking points producing harmony in the universe
is symmetry. Living things have symmetric structures. Anything
we see in nature, a seed for instance, a fruit or a leaf we
examine will show us symmetry in their structure. Let us take
a leafy plant. Leaves wind around the body of the plant like
a spiral. This is a certain type of symmetry. Similarly, an
observable order rules in the arrangement of the grains of
a seed and in the design of the veins of the leaf.
Butterfly wings are another example of the symmetry in nature.
On both wings of a butterfly are the same shades of color
and patterns. A pattern on one wing is also present on the
other in exactly the same place.
We can see many other examples of symmetry around us, a few
of which we summarized above. The important thing however
is that there is a common conclusion to be drawn from all
the given examples. There is a matchless order, or to be more
exact, a magnificent artistry displayed in living things.
One of the greatest evidences of the fact that the universe
could by no means have come into being by coincidence is this
subtle order and artistry. In his book titled "The Theory
of Evolution and Bigotry", Prof. Cemal Yıldırım states
this fact although he is an evolutionist himself:
"It is far from being convincing
to attribute this order in living things, which seems to
have a particular purpose, to chance or coincidence".
God created everything in the universe within a larger order.
God has control over all things.
Your God is One God. There is no deity
but Him, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful. In the creation
of the heavens and Earth, and the alternation of the night
and day, and the ships which sail the seas to people's benefit,
and the water which God sends down from the sky – by which
He brings the earth to life when it was dead and scatters
about in it creatures of every kind – and the varying direction
of the winds, and the clouds subservient between heaven
and earth, there are Signs for people who use their intellect.
(Qur’an, 2:163-164)
