WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:29.980 Thank you. 00:30.000 --> 00:32.180 Have a look around you from where you are sitting. 00:33.040 --> 00:35.680 You will see that everything in the room has been made. 00:36.700 --> 00:45.280 All the countless details, such as the walls, the furnishings, the lamp, the chair you are sitting in, the glass on the table, the carpet. 00:46.120 --> 00:48.040 None of them came into being by itself. 00:50.060 --> 00:52.600 And neither did the universe that we live in. 00:52.600 --> 01:01.420 Everything, every tiny detail, from the atomic, the smallest component of matter, to galaxies containing billions of stars, 01:02.220 --> 01:13.560 from the moon, the inseparable companion of the Earth, to the solar system they inhabit, works together in a breathtaking harmony. 01:13.560 --> 01:22.760 Paul Davies, one of the best-known contemporary astrobiologists, describes this harmony in the words, 01:22.760 --> 01:30.460 Everywhere we look in the universe, from the far-flung galaxies to the deepest recesses of the atom, we encounter order. 01:31.280 --> 01:36.280 Central to the idea of a very special orderly universe is the concept of information. 01:37.040 --> 01:44.600 A highly structured system, displaying a great deal of organized activity, needs a lot of information to describe it. 01:44.600 --> 01:48.600 Alternatively, we may say that it contains a lot of information. 01:53.600 --> 01:55.600 This reveals a very obvious truth. 01:56.600 --> 02:01.600 The universe was created and is regulated and preserved through a sublime knowledge and power. 02:02.600 --> 02:06.600 And that sublime knowledge and power are those of Almighty Allah. 02:15.600 --> 02:22.600 In the Quran, Allah reveals that the Earth and the sky will be preserved while they are under His might. 02:23.600 --> 02:26.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 02:27.600 --> 02:31.600 Allah keeps a firm hold on the heavens and Earth, preventing them from vanishing away. 02:32.600 --> 02:35.600 And if they vanished, no one can then keep hold of them. 02:35.600 --> 02:38.600 Certainly, He is most forbearing, ever forgiving. 02:42.600 --> 02:56.600 In this documentary, we will be going on a journey to the Milky Way, some 10 million light-years from Earth, and from there to deep inside the atom, and will witness the magnificent order with which the universe was created. 02:56.600 --> 03:06.600 This is the universe we inhabit with all its glory. 03:07.600 --> 03:10.600 This is the universe we inhabit with all its glory. 03:10.600 --> 03:20.600 10 to the power of 23 meters, 10 million light-years. 03:21.600 --> 03:23.600 The starting point of our journey. 03:24.600 --> 03:27.600 We are 10 million light-years from the Milky Way. 03:27.600 --> 03:37.600 Thought of in terms of the vastness of space in general, the Milky Way is a very small place. 03:38.600 --> 03:46.600 It occupies barely a dot within it, because there are other galaxies in space, some 300 billion according to the recent estimates. 03:46.600 --> 04:02.600 The Milky Way visible from so far away contains the solar system, the planets, and the Earth we live on. 04:03.600 --> 04:15.600 You, your home, the city you live in, and even the planet you inhabit, the sun that heats the planet, the millions of stars like it, are all inside this dot you are looking at. 04:17.600 --> 04:21.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 04:22.600 --> 04:25.600 He is the originator of the heavens and Earth. 04:26.600 --> 04:30.600 When he decides on something, he just says to it, be, and it is. 04:33.600 --> 04:36.600 10 to the power of 22 meters, 1 million light-years. 04:37.600 --> 04:43.600 We are 1 million light-years from the Milky Way that contains 250 billion stars like our sun. 04:43.600 --> 04:50.600 There are billions of systems linked to the stars in this galaxy that resembles a swirl of white smoke. 04:51.600 --> 04:55.600 Yet we are so far away that the whole body looks like a simple white cloud. 04:55.600 --> 05:00.600 10 to the power of 21 meters, 100,000 light-years. 05:05.600 --> 05:12.600 If you look at the sky on a clear cloudless night, you will see a belt of stars extending from one edge to the other. 05:12.600 --> 05:28.600 This mass of stars, which extends into the deepest vastness of the sky and that revolves around its own axis at an amazing speed, is known as the Milky Way. 05:28.600 --> 05:33.600 Astrophysicists calculating this speed were unable to conceal their astonishment. 05:34.600 --> 05:43.600 Our galaxy, which completes a full circuit of its orbit every 250 million years, moves through the universe at an extraordinary speed. 05:43.600 --> 05:57.600 This figure is one of the proofs of the infinite might of our Lord, who causes giant galaxies to move at speeds the human mind finds it hard to conceive. 05:57.600 --> 06:11.600 The galaxies are one of the proofs of the ordered structure in the universe. 06:12.600 --> 06:20.600 The estimated number of galaxies is around 300 billion, and in terms of space in general, the Milky Way occupies only a very minute space. 06:20.600 --> 06:29.600 The voids between these galaxies are millions of times greater than that of the distance between the Sun and Alpha Centauri. 06:30.600 --> 06:35.600 George Greenstein says this about the vastness in question in his book, The Symbiotic Universe. 06:38.600 --> 06:43.600 Had the stars been somewhat closer, astrophysics would not have been so very different. 06:43.600 --> 06:51.600 The fundamental physical processes occurring within stars, nebulas, and the like, would have proceeded unchanged. 06:52.600 --> 06:58.600 The appearance of our galaxy as seen from some far distant vantage point would have been the same. 06:59.600 --> 07:08.600 About the only difference would have been the view of the nighttime sky from the grass on which I lie, which would have been yet richer with stars. 07:08.600 --> 07:16.600 And, oh yes, one more small change. There would have been no me to do the viewing. 07:17.600 --> 07:21.600 This gigantic gap of the space is the prerequisite for our being. 07:26.600 --> 07:33.600 The way that Allah has created the Earth as a home for life within the boundless voids of the universe is a point requiring deep reflection. 07:33.600 --> 07:41.600 We inhabit a world that occupies a space so small in the infinite void that it barely exists at all. 07:42.600 --> 07:50.600 In fact, it is not just our Earth, but even our whole galaxy that occupies an exceedingly small space within the universe. 07:50.600 --> 07:57.600 Now imagine just how much room you occupy within the glorious vastness of the universe. 08:02.600 --> 08:07.600 Ten to the power of nineteen meters. A thousand light years. 08:08.600 --> 08:11.600 We are traveling through the Milky Way, and the Sun is not yet visible. 08:11.600 --> 08:15.600 Huge masses of stars resemble tiny dots. 08:16.600 --> 08:21.600 After the Big Bang, only hydrogen and helium atoms appeared in the universe. 08:22.600 --> 08:33.600 Astronomers maintain that giant clouds made up of these atoms were compacted together under specially regulated conditions in order to constitute stars like the Sun. 08:33.600 --> 08:43.600 But even if that had happened, the universe would still have continued to exist as a dead mass of cloud made up of these two kinds of atoms. 08:44.600 --> 08:49.600 Another process would be needed to turn these two gases into heavier elements. 08:49.600 --> 08:59.600 The production centers for these heavy elements is the red giants, enormous stars 50 times larger, on the average, than our Sun. 09:00.600 --> 09:07.600 Red giants are far hotter than ordinary stars like our Sun, and this means they can do things that normal stars cannot. 09:08.600 --> 09:10.600 They convert helium atoms into carbon atoms. 09:10.600 --> 09:12.600 But this conversion is no simple process. 09:13.600 --> 09:20.600 In the words of the American astrophysicist Greenstein, an extraordinary process takes place within the depths of these stars. 09:25.600 --> 09:30.600 Ten to the power of eighteenth meters. One hundred light years. 09:33.600 --> 09:38.600 Ten to the power of seventeenth meters. Ten light years. 09:38.600 --> 09:43.600 Ten to the power of seventeenth meters. 09:44.600 --> 09:50.600 Astronomers use the term supernova to describe the fragmentation of a star in the form of an explosion. 09:51.600 --> 10:00.600 A giant star is destroyed in a terrifying explosion, and the matter it contains is flung far and wide at an enormous speed. 10:01.600 --> 10:07.600 Through these explosions, matter is carried from one point in the universe to the others. 10:08.600 --> 10:23.600 The stellar remains flung out as a result of explosions represent the raw material for the construction of new stars, solar systems, planets, and asteroids as they combine together elsewhere in the universe. 10:23.600 --> 10:44.600 Investigation of the Sun, the planets in the solar system, our Earth, and the natural elements in them, reveals that they were created as the result of a supernova explosion a very long time ago. 10:44.600 --> 11:05.600 Iron is the main constituent of asteroids and meteors. Space is full of this cooled iron. 11:05.600 --> 11:17.600 Examination of meteors that enter the Earth's atmosphere and eventually fall to land through the force of gravity shows that they are, to a large extent, made up of iron. 11:17.600 --> 11:22.600 In his book, Nature's Destiny, Michael Denton writes, 11:22.600 --> 11:29.600 The distances between supernovae and indeed between all stars is critical for other reasons. 11:29.600 --> 11:33.600 The distance between stars in our galaxy is about 30 million miles. 11:33.600 --> 11:39.600 If this distance was much less, planetary orbits would be destabilized. 11:39.600 --> 11:51.600 If it was much more, then the debris thrown out by a supernova would be so diffusely distributed that planetary systems like our own would in all probability never form. 11:51.600 --> 12:10.600 If the cosmos is to be a home for life, then the flickering of the supernova must occur at a very precise rate, and the average distance between them, and indeed between all stars, must be very close to the actual observed figure. 12:10.600 --> 12:19.600 The ratio of supernovae and stars distances are just two more of the fine-tuned details of this miraculous universe. 12:19.600 --> 12:28.600 Examining deeper the universe, the arrangements we see is beautiful both in organization and plan. 12:28.600 --> 12:34.600 Ten to the power of sixteenth meters, one light year. 12:34.600 --> 12:45.600 When we look at the universe in rather more detail, we encounter an order in a constant state of growth and based on the most delicate balances. 12:49.600 --> 12:52.600 The Milky Way has a spiral shape. 12:52.600 --> 13:05.600 The stars and celestial bodies in spiral galaxies have been so located as to form a thick, circular center and arms protruding in the same plane and at the same angle from the center out. 13:09.600 --> 13:16.600 There are some stellar systems within the gaps between these arms, but very, very few. 13:16.600 --> 13:23.600 Our solar system is one of those between such spiral arms. 13:30.600 --> 13:34.600 So what is the significance of the solar system lying between those arms? 13:35.600 --> 13:45.600 First of all, from where we are, we possess a very clear and distinct view of the gases and wastes in the spiral arms. 13:46.600 --> 13:53.600 If we were inside one of those arms, our view would be significantly impaired. 13:53.600 --> 13:57.600 Professor Michael Denton in his book Nature's Destiny 13:59.600 --> 14:10.600 What is so striking is that the cosmos appears to be not just supremely fit for our own being and for our biological adaptations, but also for our understanding. 14:10.600 --> 14:23.600 Because of the position of our solar system on the edge of the galactic rim, we can gaze farther into the night to distant galaxies and gain knowledge of the overall structure of the cosmos. 14:24.600 --> 14:34.600 Were we positioned in the center of a galaxy, we would never look on the beauty of a spiral galaxy, nor would we have any idea of the structure of our universe. 14:34.600 --> 14:54.600 As Michael Denton says, the universe possesses just the right features to meet our needs. 14:54.600 --> 15:04.600 The noteworthy point here is that our solar system lies at the edge of the galactic arm, rather than at the center of the Milky Way. 15:05.600 --> 15:18.600 This, as Michael Denton also states, allows us to examine the sky and, most importantly, to acquire information about the universe. 15:18.600 --> 15:36.600 Our Lord has specially revealed the location of the solar system within the Milky Way. 15:36.600 --> 15:42.600 Our Lord has specially revealed the location of the solar system within the Milky Way. 15:42.600 --> 15:48.600 Our Lord has specially revealed the location of the solar system within the Milky Way. 15:48.600 --> 15:53.600 This location is a means whereby we can come to know the universe, 15:53.600 --> 15:57.600 reflect deeply and witness the infinite might of Allah. 15:57.600 --> 16:02.600 In one verse of the Quran, Allah reminds us, 16:02.600 --> 16:06.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 16:06.600 --> 16:11.600 You have known the first formation, so will you not pay heed? 16:11.600 --> 16:23.600 10 to the power of 15 meters, 1 trillion kilometers. 16:23.600 --> 16:33.600 The Sun is the largest body in our solar system, representing 99.8% of its total mass. 16:33.600 --> 16:38.600 The planet Jupiter constitutes much of what remains. 16:38.600 --> 16:42.600 10 to the power of 13 meters, 10 billion kilometers. 16:42.600 --> 16:50.600 One of the areas in which we can most clearly see the regularity in the universe is the solar system in which our Earth lies. 16:50.600 --> 16:56.600 The solar system contains 9 separate planets and 54 satellites belonging to them. 16:56.600 --> 17:08.600 These planets, in order of their proximity to the Sun, are Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. 17:08.600 --> 17:18.600 The only celestial body with the surface and atmosphere capable of sustaining life is our Earth. 17:18.600 --> 17:22.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 17:22.600 --> 17:29.600 It is he who created night and day, and the Sun and Moon, each one swimming in a sphere. 17:29.600 --> 17:34.600 10 to the power of 12 meters, 1 billion kilometers. 17:34.600 --> 17:38.600 10 to the power of 11 meters, 100 million kilometers. 17:38.600 --> 17:43.600 10 to the power of 10 meters, 10 million kilometers. 17:43.600 --> 18:03.600 10 to the power of 11 meters, 100 million kilometers. 18:03.600 --> 18:11.600 In addition to this magnificent balance in the solar system, the planet Earth's position in that system and in space, in general, 18:11.600 --> 18:16.600 again reveal the existence of an immaculate creation. 18:18.600 --> 18:27.600 The Earth orbits the Sun in such a way that it only deviates from a straight line by 2.8 millimeters every 18 miles. 18:27.600 --> 18:36.600 The Earth never deviates from that orbit, which is extremely important because even a 3.0 millimeters deviation, for example, 18:36.600 --> 18:39.600 would give rise to dreadful catastrophes. 18:39.600 --> 18:49.600 If the deviation were 2.5 millimeters instead of 2.8 millimeters, the orbit would be wider and all living things on the Earth would freeze. 18:49.600 --> 18:55.600 Whereas if it were 3.1 millimeters, all living things, ourselves included, would burn up and die. 18:55.600 --> 19:01.600 10 to the power of 9 meters, 1 million kilometers. 19:01.600 --> 19:05.600 Were it not for the Moon, the Earth would not be as it is today. 19:05.600 --> 19:08.600 There would be no life on it at all. 19:08.600 --> 19:16.600 Were there no Moon, the days would be shorter, and we would live on a planet of incessant storms and tornadoes. 19:16.600 --> 19:21.600 The atmosphere would not be as it is today, but would be much thicker. 19:21.600 --> 19:25.600 Were it not for the Moon, the tides would decrease by 70%. 19:25.600 --> 19:34.600 Nocturnal life forms could not develop, and the seasons would not exist. 19:34.600 --> 19:47.600 With the Sun alone, the Earth would be an empty planet, consisting of the plants only, depending on the seasons, winds and rains. 19:47.600 --> 19:51.600 The Qur'an refers to the Moon and its actions. 19:51.600 --> 19:54.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 19:54.600 --> 20:01.600 And we have decreed set phases for the Moon, until it ends up looking like an old palm space. 20:01.600 --> 20:07.600 It is not for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor for the night to outstrip the day. 20:07.600 --> 20:10.600 Each one is swimming in a sphere. 20:10.600 --> 20:17.600 10 to the power of 8 meters, 100,000 kilometers. 20:17.600 --> 20:23.600 Our Earth proceeds along its orbit at a speed of 30 kilometers a second. 20:23.600 --> 20:27.600 From 100,000 kilometers away, it looks very small. 20:27.600 --> 20:32.600 Nothing can as yet be seen, merely a round, colored image. 20:32.600 --> 20:39.600 At a distance of 100,000 kilometers from our Earth, which meets all the conditions for our survival, 20:39.600 --> 20:47.600 it is impossible for us to breathe, drink water, benefit from the daylight, or consume nourishing foods. 20:47.600 --> 20:54.600 In addition, it is impossible to read a book or magazine outside the Earth's atmosphere in deep voids of space. 20:54.600 --> 20:58.600 Is that because the Sun's rays do not reach that far? 20:58.600 --> 21:06.600 No. Light from the Sun does arrive, but in space, particles such as molecules and atoms do not exist. 21:06.600 --> 21:13.600 That means there is no matter or objects that can reveal themselves by being struck by the Sun's rays in the vastness of space. 21:13.600 --> 21:21.600 The light that does strike matter is given off all around them in the form of heat and light, rather like a firework. 21:21.600 --> 21:27.600 That is why there can be no daylight where the two are not present together. 21:27.600 --> 21:41.600 10 to the power of 7 meters, 10,000 kilometers. 21:41.600 --> 21:51.600 We are somewhere that is moving rapidly through enormous cold and pitch blackness, protected against the daylight created for us and against external agents. 21:51.600 --> 21:57.600 From wherever we look at the Earth, we can see that there is a stupendous creation. 21:57.600 --> 22:21.600 From the way the winds carry clouds laden with rain to the land, to the way the Moon illuminates the Earth like a torch, 22:21.600 --> 22:30.600 and the extraordinary speed of an average 110,000 kilometers an hour at which the Earth revolves around the Sun, 22:30.600 --> 22:34.600 everything has been created within an immaculate order. 22:34.600 --> 22:41.600 Looked at in the light of the links between these balances and systems, 22:41.600 --> 22:46.600 it is obvious that they have all been placed at the service of mankind. 22:48.600 --> 22:52.600 10 to the power of 6 meters, 1,000 kilometers. 22:52.600 --> 23:09.600 We are now on Earth, created with the finest conditions for the maintenance of life in the Solar System. 23:13.600 --> 23:17.600 We lack for nothing on this giant spaceship created for us. 23:17.600 --> 23:21.600 There is no need to look beyond the Earth for any of our needs. 23:22.600 --> 23:29.600 It has light, water, air, and food resources for us, and these never come to an end. 23:30.600 --> 23:35.600 The average temperature has been maintained in a dynamic equilibrium for centuries. 23:35.600 --> 23:48.600 Mars, which is further away from the Sun, is freezing cold, while Venus, which is closer to it, is hot enough to melt lead. 23:48.600 --> 24:00.600 Less than a 10% reduction in solar energy would lead to a fall in the average temperature on Earth, 24:01.600 --> 24:05.600 for which reason the world would become covered in a layer of ice many meters thick. 24:06.600 --> 24:11.600 A small increase in that energy, on the other hand, would cause all living things to burn up and die. 24:11.600 --> 24:19.600 10 to the power of 5 meters, 100 kilometers. 24:20.600 --> 24:23.600 10 to the power of 4 meters, 10 kilometers. 24:24.600 --> 24:27.600 10 to the power of 3 meters, 1 kilometer. 24:27.600 --> 24:47.600 The Earth's atmosphere consists of 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% of a combination of other gases, such as carbon dioxide and argon. 24:47.600 --> 25:05.600 The most important of all these gases is oxygen, because it is by way of oxygen that most chemical reactions in living things with complex bodies, such as human beings, take place. 25:06.600 --> 25:12.600 Carbon reacts with oxygen, the result being water, carbon dioxide, and energy. 25:12.600 --> 25:17.600 The atmosphere has been specially created for human life. 25:18.600 --> 25:23.600 This fact revealed by science once again proves that the universe is not a random mass of matter. 25:24.600 --> 25:35.600 There is of course a creator, who rules the entire universe, shapes matter as he wishes, and keeps the galaxies, stars, and planets under his control. 25:36.600 --> 25:40.600 That sublime creator is Almighty Allah. 25:40.600 --> 25:46.600 10 to the power of 2 meters, 100 meters. 25:47.600 --> 25:51.600 10 to the power of 1 meters, 10 meters. 25:52.600 --> 26:05.600 10 to the power of 1 meters, 10 meters. 26:05.600 --> 26:20.600 For hundreds of millions of years, plants have been carrying out a process that no laboratory equipped with the most advanced technology, and containing the very best specialist experts have ever succeeded in doing. 26:20.600 --> 26:30.600 They use sunlight to manufacture food, and a process known as photosynthesis. 26:31.600 --> 26:38.600 One necessary condition for this important process is that the light reaching the plant be the kind of light permitting photosynthesis. 26:38.600 --> 26:52.600 What enables plants to make photosynthesis is the sensitivity to light energy of the chlorophyll molecules in the cells. 26:52.600 --> 26:58.600 However, chlorophyll can only employ rays of a very specific wavelength. 26:58.600 --> 27:12.600 The fact that the light radiated by the sun is more or less the same as that required for the photosynthesis shows the immaculate creation in light. 27:12.600 --> 27:18.600 10 to the power of 0 meters, 1 meter. 27:19.600 --> 27:29.600 As a result of the photosynthesis performed by trees and all green plants, oxygen is constantly being manufactured and its levels maintained. 27:29.600 --> 27:33.600 That is why we are never left without oxygen. 27:36.600 --> 27:40.600 Plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. 27:41.600 --> 27:48.600 By ensuring a balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide, the temperature balance on earth is also maintained. 27:49.600 --> 27:54.600 There is no other means in nature of preserving the oxygen balance in the atmosphere. 27:54.600 --> 28:03.600 That means that trees and all green plants are essential for the maintenance of the balances in all living things. 28:04.600 --> 28:07.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 28:08.600 --> 28:09.600 That is Allah, your Lord. 28:10.600 --> 28:13.600 There is no God but Him, the creator of everything. 28:14.600 --> 28:15.600 So worship Him. 28:16.600 --> 28:18.600 He is responsible for everything. 28:18.600 --> 28:42.600 We are looking at a flawless microscopic arrangement in leaves. 28:42.600 --> 28:52.600 The pores and leaves known as stoma, one of their very important structures, are also an important component of that arrangement. 28:53.600 --> 29:04.600 Their job is to ensure the heat and water cycle and to obtain oxygen from the atmosphere. 29:04.600 --> 29:17.600 As can be seen from this leaf's cross section, the pores are generally located on the underside of leaves and are capable of opening and closing according to how much water the plants needs. 29:18.600 --> 29:23.600 Variations in the external environment are the factors on which pore activity depends. 29:23.600 --> 29:30.600 The leaf resembles a piece of cloth based on veins that serve like a mechanical support. 29:31.600 --> 29:40.600 In order for this system to be used effectively, the leaf has to keep the level of energy it would use to support its tissue as low as possible. 29:40.600 --> 29:53.600 This is an easy matter for the leaf because there is a main prop running to the center of the leaf and secondary struts running from this out towards the leaf edges. 29:54.600 --> 30:00.600 In particular, the location of the main vein is very important in the distribution of the leaf's weight. 30:00.600 --> 30:15.600 We can compare this to the reduction in lifting power you experience when you hold a heavy book out at arm's length and the way the weight of the book seems to grow as it affects your arms. 30:15.600 --> 30:28.600 10 to the power of negative 4 meters 100 microns, 10 to the power of negative 5 meters 10 microns, 10 to the power of negative 6 meters 1 micron. 30:28.600 --> 30:45.600 The most distinctive feature that distinguishes the plant cell from those in humans and animals is that it is able to make use of solar energy. 30:45.600 --> 31:02.600 It achieves this through the process known as photosynthesis and converts the energy reaching it from the sun into energy that can be used by humans and animals through the food they consume. 31:03.600 --> 31:08.600 Let us briefly run over some of the stages that take place during photosynthesis. 31:08.600 --> 31:24.600 First of all, it is essential that all the enzymes and systems necessary for photosynthesis to be present in the plant cell at the exact same time. 31:27.600 --> 31:32.600 10 to the power of negative 7 meters 1,000 angstroms 31:32.600 --> 31:39.600 When the sunlight falls onto the leaf, it moves through various layers in it. 31:40.600 --> 31:49.600 The chlorophylls inside the organelles, in the cell known as chloroplasts, convert this light energy into chemical energy. 31:50.600 --> 31:54.600 The plant receiving this chemical energy immediately uses it to obtain food. 31:54.600 --> 32:04.600 Scientists only acquire this knowledge summarized here in just a few words in the mid 20th century. 32:05.600 --> 32:15.600 Yet plants have been performing this process with complete accuracy for hundreds of millions of years, thus providing the earth with food and oxygen. 32:15.600 --> 32:23.600 Then to the power of negative 8 meters, 100 angstroms. 32:24.600 --> 32:27.600 The paired DNA chain resembles a zip. 32:28.600 --> 32:30.600 The DNA chain is quite a long one. 32:31.600 --> 32:36.600 In the same way that we would roll a long thread around a reel in a regular manner, 32:36.600 --> 32:43.600 so the cell uses a similar mechanism to package the DNA up and place it inside the nucleus. 32:44.600 --> 32:46.600 DNA exists inside every cell. 32:47.600 --> 32:54.600 The following comparison by Michael Denton is enough to reflect the minute size of DNA with its enormous capacity. 32:54.600 --> 33:01.600 If all the features of all the species that have ever lived were to be loaded onto DNA, 33:02.600 --> 33:07.600 the resulting total volume of DNA would fill only a small part of a teaspoon. 33:08.600 --> 33:15.600 Enough space would even be left over the rest of the teaspoon to contain all the books that have ever been written. 33:15.600 --> 33:21.600 10 to the power of negative 9 meters, 1 nanometer. 33:30.600 --> 33:34.600 DNA replication begins in a specific nucleotide sequence. 33:35.600 --> 33:42.600 The helix shaped arms of the DNA begin to be opened out by the enzyme known as DNA helicase, 33:42.600 --> 33:47.600 after which they begin separating from one another. 33:48.600 --> 33:55.600 Special proteins that stabilize the helixes make sure the two arms do not wind round one another again. 33:56.600 --> 34:05.600 It is at just this point that a special RNA molecule known as primary RNA is synthesized between the DNA arms. 34:05.600 --> 34:13.600 This molecule shows the enzyme DNA polymerase that will carry out the copying process where it is to begin. 34:14.600 --> 34:25.600 DNA polymerase begins forming new DNA arms by binding the nucleotides in such a way that they line up opposite the separating arms of the DNA. 34:25.600 --> 34:33.600 10 to the power of negative 10 meters, 100 picometers. 34:34.600 --> 34:50.600 All material entities, living or non-living, are made up, as we know, of the basic building blocks known as atoms. 34:50.600 --> 34:59.600 The atom consists of particles in the nucleus called protons and the electrons that orbit around the nucleus. 35:00.600 --> 35:10.600 The protons inside the atomic nucleus carry a positive electrical charge and the electrons that revolve outside it a negative one. 35:10.600 --> 35:23.600 These diametrically opposed electrical charges cause an attraction between them, and that attraction keeps the electron in a stable orbit around the nucleus. 35:24.600 --> 35:34.600 The force that binds the protons and electrons with their opposing electrical charges together is known as electromagnetic force. 35:34.600 --> 35:47.600 The nature of the electrons orbits and the atomic nucleus determines the bonds the atoms will have among themselves, and the kinds of molecules they will be able to make up. 35:48.600 --> 35:58.600 The electrons in the atom never crash into one another, despite their traveling at the extraordinary speed of 100,000 kilometers a second. 35:58.600 --> 36:04.600 10 to the power of negative 11 meters, 10 picometers. 36:05.600 --> 36:10.600 Atoms consist of a dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. 36:11.600 --> 36:16.600 It is electromagnetic force that holds the nucleus and electrons together. 36:16.600 --> 36:22.600 10 to the power of negative 12 meters, 1 picometers. 36:23.600 --> 36:27.600 10 to the power of negative 13 meters, 100 femtometers. 36:28.600 --> 36:41.600 The question of how invisibly small particles manage to arrange themselves together in empty space, in such a way as to constitute the atom, is a most important one. 36:41.600 --> 36:46.600 These particles give rise to the atom through a very special structure. 36:47.600 --> 36:57.600 One of the main features of this structure is the existence of fundamental forces that enable the particle to repel and attract one another. 36:57.600 --> 37:14.600 It is these forces that, as well as controlling all the delicate balances in the universe, from atmospheric pressure to the Earth's orbit, that also influence the components that constitute the atom. 37:14.600 --> 37:26.600 These four forces are, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, the force of gravity, and electromagnetic force. 37:27.600 --> 37:32.600 10 to the power of negative 14 meters, 10 femtometers. 37:32.600 --> 37:44.600 All the very different organic structures in existence, from the cell membrane to tree bark, from the optic lens to a stag's antlers, are all made up from carbon-based compounds. 37:45.600 --> 37:58.600 By combining together with hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms in various different geometrical forms and sequences, carbon gives rise to very different substances. 37:58.600 --> 38:04.600 10 to the power of negative 15 meters, 1 femtometer. 38:05.600 --> 38:12.600 The mass of a proton is exactly 1836, that of the electron. 38:13.600 --> 38:20.600 To make a concrete comparison, the difference between them is like that between a human being and a hazelnut. 38:20.600 --> 38:28.600 In other words, the electron and the proton have no physical structures that particularly resemble one another. 38:29.600 --> 38:37.600 The striking thing here is that the electrical charges of these two totally different particles are exactly the same. 38:38.600 --> 38:44.600 One possesses a positive charge and the other a negative one, but they are exactly the same in size. 38:44.600 --> 38:53.600 On account of this, the atom's electrical charge is balanced, otherwise there is nothing making such a balance necessary. 38:54.600 --> 39:05.600 On the contrary, what one would expect in physical terms is for the electrical charge of the electron to be much lower, in proportion to its mass, than that of the proton. 39:05.600 --> 39:15.600 If that were the case, if the electrical charge of the electron and proton were different, what would happen? 39:16.600 --> 39:27.600 In that event, all the atoms in the universe would be positively charged because of the higher electrical charge in the proton. 39:27.600 --> 39:35.600 As a result, every atom in the universe would repel every other atom. 39:36.600 --> 39:37.600 And what would happen then? 39:38.600 --> 39:42.600 What would happen if all the atoms in the universe repelled one another? 39:43.600 --> 39:51.600 The moment such a change took place, you and everything around would instantly dissolve into space. 39:51.600 --> 40:05.600 All the seas and mountains on earth, all the planets in the solar system, and all celestial bodies in the universe would split up into an infinite number of component particles, in the blink of an eye. 40:06.600 --> 40:10.600 No object visible to the eye would ever exist in the universe again. 40:11.600 --> 40:17.600 What we refer to as the universe would consist of mutually repellent atoms. 40:17.600 --> 40:33.600 The neutrons and protons that constitute the atom are actually made up of even smaller sub-particles known as quarks. 40:34.600 --> 40:39.600 The size of the quarks that comprise the unimaginably small proton is absolutely amazing. 40:40.600 --> 40:43.600 Just 10 to the power of negative 18 meters. 40:43.600 --> 40:59.600 The sublime creation of the atoms at the basis of the cell, the protons and the neutrons within the atom, and the quarks inside them, together with all their mechanisms, is utterly astonishing in its perfection. 40:59.600 --> 41:15.600 What really needs to be reflected on here, however, is the way that all these flawless mechanisms work every second of a person's life, with no human intervention involved and totally beyond the individual's control. 41:15.600 --> 41:33.600 It is crystal clear to any rational and honest person that almighty and omniscient Allah created all these, and that their supervision is again His. 41:33.600 --> 41:36.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 41:36.600 --> 41:40.600 Everyone in the heavens and the earth requests his aid. 41:40.600 --> 41:41.600 Every day he is engaged in some affair. 41:41.600 --> 41:42.600 So which of your Lord's blessings do you both then deny? 41:42.600 --> 41:47.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 41:47.600 --> 41:49.600 Everyone in the heavens and the earth requests his aid. 41:49.600 --> 41:50.600 Every day he is engaged in some affair. 41:50.600 --> 41:55.600 So which of your Lord's blessings do you both then deny? 41:55.600 --> 41:58.600 Every day in the heavens and the earth requests His aid. 41:58.600 --> 42:01.600 Every day He is engaged in some affair. 42:01.600 --> 42:04.600 So which of your Lord's blessings do you both then deny? 42:04.600 --> 42:10.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 42:10.600 --> 42:16.600 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 42:16.600 --> 42:45.600 All the physical laws in the universe, the position of the earth and space, the biochemical reactions in the bodies of living things, and the behavior of the atoms that constitute the main element in those reactions taking place all show that the universe has been specially created to support life. 42:45.600 --> 43:10.600 Whichever of the structures or systems that surround us, from the greatest to the very smallest, we may look at we encounter yet another wondrous miracle, because no matter how enormous and obvious a miracle may be, it is only believers who possess the ability to see and comprehend the existence of Allah and His infinite greatness from it. 43:10.600 --> 43:21.940 Deniers, on the other hand, will refuse to recognize the most evident miracle because of their pride and worldly ambitions. 43:21.940 --> 43:28.940 They generally downplay these miracles by means of irrational interpretations and statements. 43:30.280 --> 43:37.440 Yet any single one of the miracles we have encountered during our journey is enough to lead an honest person to faith. 43:38.260 --> 43:47.940 Let us now once again witness the sublime creation of Allah by once more setting out on this journey from the micro-world to the macro-one. 43:51.940 --> 43:55.900 Let us see. 43:55.900 --> 43:59.080 Let us remember again realize that. 44:03.120 --> 44:04.600 Take me. 44:04.600 --> 44:09.860 The next time I get the exciting time... 44:12.200 --> 44:16.300 Someone is going to create a new weapon of следующable Phoebe. 44:16.300 --> 44:38.740 I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 44:40.260 --> 44:43.960 He who created the seven heavens in layers, 44:43.960 --> 44:48.420 you will not find any flaw in the creation of the all-merciful. 44:49.080 --> 44:51.400 Look again. Do you see any gaps? 44:52.320 --> 44:54.080 Then look again and again. 44:54.820 --> 44:58.400 Your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted.
