 
Perfect Symmetry In Living Things
Have
a look at your face in the mirror. You will see perfect symmetry.
Pick up a magazine and start turning its pages. The people
you see there as you turn its pages, and the birds, flowers
and butterflies you see when you look at the outside world,
share the same symmetry.
Symmetry is one of the factors that provides harmony in the
universe. All creatures have a symmetrical structure. When
you look at sea creatures, you see the same symmetry. Fish,
crabs, shrimp… Take a pair of seashells in your hand and arrange
them in a symmetrical way. You will again encounter a perfect
order and symmetry in the arrangement of the lines and in
their arrangement from larger to smaller. No matter what creature
you look at in nature, every time an extraordinary order,
perfect symmetry and matchless diversity of color will be
observed.
The defenders of the evolution theory, which claims that everything
in the universe has come into being as a result of haphazardly
occurring coincidences, cannot explain this color diversity,
symmetry and order displayed in nature. It is evident that
such a perfect order cannot be explained by blind chance or
unconscious events. It is not possible for evolutionists to
explain, with any of the claims they put forward, the formation
of the colors of creatures in nature, their designs or symmetry.
Even Charles Darwin had to confess this fact, even though
he was the very founder of the theory:
I value the cases of bright-coloured, incubating male fishes,
and brilliant female butterflies, solely as showing that one
sex may be made brilliant without any necessary transference
of beauty to the other sex; for in these cases I cannot suppose
that beauty in the other sex was checked by selection.
Surely, no one who is wise and reasonable can claim that the
supreme beauty we see around us, colorful butterflies, roses,
violets, strawberries, cherries, all with their dazzling colors,
and parrots, peacocks, leopards, in short, the Earth with
all its magnificence, has come into existence by chance. Allah
created all living creatures along with their features. The
knowledge of Allah surrounds us everywhere. There is no god
but He. This is maintained in the Qur'an in this way:
Allah, there is no god but Him, the
Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is not subject to drowsiness
or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs
to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission?
He knows what is before them and what is behind them but
they cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills.
His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and
their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High,
the Magnificent (Surat al-Baqara: 255)
