I shall take the constancy of the laws of science ans a Mercy from Allah(SWT).
He sort of having Mercy on our limited capabilities.
Sort of a toy given to us - arrogant about the fact that we can understand His creation.
My beloved Shaikh (DB) says that science is full of Ma'arifah. More science you study more you marvel at His creation. One example is mosquito bite. Think of the mosquito size. This is a parable that Allah(SWT) has given himself for insignificance. The world has been compared to its value. Then let us consider its sting - is smaller still. Then the material it might inject into us. Must be significantly small. And that is what does all the job. So many of ailments transferred. What sophisticated system Allah(SWT) has in place!
Then I remember an anecdote by scientist. He said that he always marvels at the ant. Just imagine the pressure gradient in the room because of the sugar grain. Must be hopelessly small. But that is what the ant uses to reach it. What an intricate system in place! And Allah, our Lord is All-Pure.
I suppose Allah(SWT) does not take us for a ride unless we try to be very cunning.
But He (SWT) knows better.
Having said that the fact we have come to know about dark matter and dark energy itself tells us that our arrogance on finding the laws of nature was not well founded. Initially when dark matter was predicted that was a shock itself. The result was that the bright matter is smaller than the dark matter. So the hammer on the head announced that your ignorance is more than your knowledge. When dark energy came on the scene the game was upped once more. Your ignorance is not only more than your knowledge but it is significantly more. Bright matter only 4 percent. Dark matter about twenty five percent. Dark energy more than seventy percent.
I suppose that is a good enough shock from Allah(SWT).
But He(SWT) knows better.
As far as Dawkins is concerned I'll leave him to people like Yousuf bin Khattab and Hamza Tzortzis. For the time being. But I should mention that I have been pestering Drs 76, Abu Tamim and Amr123 to take up this task of working like a paper shredder on evolution. I suppose it needs a little bit of push towards it journey of doom. Lord Most High willing.
