The Miracle In The Atom: Atoms That Come Alive

We are surrounded by a living world, but how did this happen? How did life suddenly develop? Atoms are the building blocks of both animate and inanimate objects, and it is quite remarkable that inanimate atoms can come together to form living organisms. If we mix different materials such as aluminum, plastic and gasoline, the result cannot come to life. The only way for life to arise is through perfect design, and this is something that can only be achieved by Allah. It is impossible for unconscious atoms to form the DNA molecule. Atoms, which formed the universe, have been found to be the building blocks of life. Inanimate atoms are unable to form living organisms spontaneously. Atoms, Life, and Inanimate matter cannot combine to form life by sheer coincidence. DNA molecules and protein molecules, each consisting of thousands of different types, cannot assemble themselves in a way that results in life. In addition, the wrong kind of chemical reactions would take place if left to chance, preventing the formation of living beings. Ultimately, only Allah has the power to create life and the universe from nothing. Notes: 38. Henry M. Morris, Impact No. 111, Septemberl 1982 39.
