Is God Real?

Everything in the existence, starting from quarks – the smallest detected subatomic particle forming matter – up to galaxies, carries a degree of functional complexity.

In other words, it performs a specific and certain task.
Every functional complexity in nature is a status that exceeds mere existence.
To explain, existence is a degree, and the complexity in the existent thing is a degree that exceeds mere existence.
Everything around you is specifically designed to do a specific function.
This means that everything around you carries a functional complexity, which is an evidence of creation and bringing things into existence.
So, there must be an originator who brought them into existence.

Example of this is the electric lamp; it represents functional complexity, as it consists of:
1-Filament.
2-A lead wire that conducts the electricity to the filament.
3-Inert gas that protects the filament without interacting with it or with electricity.
4-Glass bulb that prevents the air to enter and the inert gas escaping the lamp or else the filament will burn.
5-Lamp base: it connects the lamp to the holder and forms a pathway for the electric current.

It is a system of complexity that cannot be simplified, and so it has an obvious intellectual connotation that denotes perfection of making.

The one who negates the existence of the perfect creation of the electric lamp or claims that it came to being by mere coincidence is the one who has to present the proof for this claim!

The maker of the lamp knows well what electricity is, its pathways, the benefits of the lamp and the sensitivity of the filament. Therefore, the existence of the lamp directly indicates that it has a proficient maker, and that it did not appear randomly, simply because there are other lamps that look completely different.

Using the same intellectual inference, we find that something that is functionally complex like a human being must have an originator that created him.

Whereas the electric lamp consists of five components, a human being consists of four billion components in every cell of his body.

Four billion components make up the functions of the organism, which are called: the genetic code, the genome, or DNA, and are located in the nucleus of each of your cells.

So, if you are to believe that the five components forming the electric lamp have a creator while you do not have a creator, then this would be problematic for yourself.

{Were they created by none, or were they the creators [of themselves]?} [Surah At-Tur: 35]

There is complexity in everything around you. There is nothing in nature; even in the atom, orbits, or in your own body, but it has some kind of functional complexity.

That functional complexity of every atom and particle exist in everything in the universe.

Allah Almighty said: {Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth; the alternation of the night and day; the sailing of the ships in the sea for the benefit of people; the sending down of rain from the sky by Allah, reviving thereby the earth after its death; the spreading of all kinds of creatures therein; the directing of the winds and clouds between the sky and earth in all these, there are signs for people of understanding.} [Surat al-Baqarah: 164] There are a lot of verses in this regard.

however, only those who apply their reason do take heed. {None will take heed except people of understanding.} [Surat al Imrān: 7]

When one employs his mind and looks into the existence (the evidence of bringing into existence) and contemplates the accuracy and functions of the created beings (evidence of providence and perfection) will certainly acknowledge the existence of the creator through reason.
