Long ago an Atheist did not  believe the existence of God. He asked a scholar for a debate about the  existence of God. Among the questions are: “Does God exist?” and “If God  exists then where is God?” Then they decided when and where the debate takes place. The  Atheist and the villagers were waiting for the scholar, but the scholar  did not come right on time. When the Atheist and the villagers thought  that the scholar will not come for the debate, then the scholar showed  up. “I  am sorry to keep you waiting for so long. But the rain is so heavy so  the river floods. The bridge drifted away so I could not cross it. Thank  God suddenly there was a big tree fell down. Then the branches cut out  by themselves so the trunk was branchless. After that the trunk was cut  and a hole was created so it became a boat. So I used the boat and  crossed the river,” said the scholar. The  Atheist and the villagers were laughing. The Atheist said to the  villagers, “This scholar is mad. How can a tree became a boat by itself  with no one made it? How can a boat exist with no maker who made it?” The villagers were laughing out loud. After  the people calmed down, the scholar said, “If you believe that the boat  could not exist without its maker, then how could you believe the  earth, sky, and its contents exist without its creator? Which is the  most difficult to make? Making a boat or creating the earth, sky, and  its contents? Hearing that, they realized that they trapped with their own statement. “Then  answer my second question,” said the Atheist. “If God exists, why can’t  He be seen? Where is God?” The Atheist thought since he cannot see God  then God does not exist. The scholar slapped the Atheist’s cheek hardly so the Atheist felt so much pain. “Why did you slap me? It’s very painful” The scholar asked, “There is no pain. I cannot see pain. Where is pain?” “The pain is here,” the Atheist pointed his cheek. “No, I cannot see pain. Do you see the pain?” asked the scholar to the villagers. The villagers said, “No!” “So,  though we cannot see the pain does not mean that the pain does not  exist. So is the God. Just because we cannot see the God does not mean  that God does not exist. Though we cannot see Him, but we can see His  creations.” Said the scholar. The  argument of the scholar is very simple. Yet, the argument that God does  not exist just because human’s sense could not sense the existence of  God is very wrong. How many things that could not be seen or heard by people but exist? We cannot see the Wind but the Wind exists. We cannot see electricity (what you can see is wire) but electricity exist. How  many things in the sky that billions light years away, even trillions  light years away that could not be seen by people yet the things exist? How  many molecular things even nucleus (hair divided in millions) that  cannot be seen by people yet exist? People could only see those things  by using a very powerful microscope. How many waves (radio, electromagnetic, electricity, etc) that cannot be seen yet exist? <img src="https://syiarislam.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/tatasurya.jpg?w=425&h=428" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Those things exist, yet the human sense is very limited so it cannot sense their existence. The  human ability to see colors limited to certain frequencies. People only  could hear limited frequencies. Sometimes the light not only very  dazzling but also could make people blind. So is the sound. Certain  sound could not be heard by human sense while other sound which is very  loud could destroy human‘s hearing. If to sense the creatures of God, sometimes people could not do it, even more to sense the Creator: God! The Universe, Who is its Creator? It  is hard to proof that God exists. But if we take a look to the planes,  cars, TVs, etc, it would be irrational if we say that all exist by  themselves. There must be people who make them! If the simple thing such as the match has its makers, then the universe that far more complex than that must be has its creator. The  Earth where 8 billion people live has circumference 40,000 km. The  circumference of the Sun is 4.3 million km. The Sun and its 8 planets  along with 100 billion stars are in the Milky Way galaxy whose length is  100,000 light years away.  Milky  Way is only a galaxy among thousands galaxies that form a Cluster. This  cluster with thousands clusters form 1 Super Cluster. And thousands of  Super Clusters form the Universe whose length is 30 billion light years  away! Remember, the number 30 billion light years away only current  estimation since the strongest telescope today only could reach 15  billion light years away. <img src="https://syiarislam.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/galaksi.jpg?w=627&h=354" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Imagine  if the distance between Earth and the Sun is 150 million km and passed  by the light in just 8 minute, then the whole Universe passed by the  light in 30 billion years. That is equal to 285 billion trillion km  away. If a man could run 40 km/hour without stopping, he would pass the  distance in 810,000 trillion years! That  is the greatness of Allah’s creation! If we believe in the magnificence  of Allah’s creation, then we should believe in the magnificence of  Allah. In the Quran Allah explains that He is the creator of Heaven, Star, Sun, Moon, and others: “Blessed  be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath  placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!” [Quran 25:61] Is there a Controller of the Universe? There  are millions of people controlling the traffic on road, sea, and air.  Beacons are built. People also build traffic light and radar. Air  Traffic Control is built to prevent accident. All vehicles have drivers.  Even on airplane there are pilot and co-pilot to make the flight safer.  On the ships there are Captain, navigator, and engineers. Yet thousands  of accidents happen every year on land, sea, and air. Even though there  are many controllers, the accidents still happen. <img src="https://syiarislam.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/cluster.jpg?w=530&h=479" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />On  the contrary, the Earth, Sun, Moon, Stars, and others always revolve  for billions of years without single crash. Most scientists believe that  the Earth, Sun, and all of the other planets and moons in the solar  system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. For billions of years until  now the Earth never bump into the Sun, and the Sun never collides with  the Moon. There is no mark, police, nor pilots to drive them. Without  God, the Controller of the Universe, none of these would happen.  Everything is in order because there is God who controls everything.  Allah has put orbit for each of those things. If we really think about  it then we will know that God exist. “He  it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon stages, that ye  might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not  (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who  have knowledge” [Quran 10:5] “It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit” [Quran:40] . People who think a lot about universe insha Allah will believe that there is a God! “Allah  it is who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted  the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each  runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the  revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your  Lord.” [Quran 13:2] “Such  as remember Allah, standing, sitting, and reclining, and consider the  creation of the heavens and the earth, (and say): Our Lord! Thou  createdst not this in vain. Glory be to Thee! Preserve us from the doom  of Fire” [Quran 3:191] Who is the Creator of People and Plants? To  those arrogant people who deny the existence of God, Allah questions  them about His creatures. Who is the creator of sperm and plant? People  or God the All Wise Creator? “Have ye seen that which ye emit? Do ye create it or are We the creator?” [Quran 56:58-59] “Have ye seen that which ye cultivate? Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer?” [Quran 56:63-64] “Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower?” [Quran 56:72] Can Men Create a Fly?   In another verse, Allah challenges others to create a fly if they could  do it. Men may be could make robots from things that created by Allah.  Yet, none could make a fly from nothing nor thing that could reproduce  except Allah: “…Lo!  Those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they  combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from  them, they could not rescue it from him. So weak are (both) the seeker  and the sought!” [Quran 22:73] There are many other Quran verses that describe the existence of God and God is the All Wise Creator. </blockquote>
