00:00.000 --> 00:03.040
A call to reason

00:03.040 --> 00:22.020
Throughout the course of this film you have been watching, we have been considering some of the

00:22.020 --> 00:27.340
extraordinary features of leaves and have briefly touched on the subject of photosynthesis.

00:27.340 --> 00:33.160
The aim in providing this information was to show that plants and the flawless systems

00:33.160 --> 00:36.700
they possess could not have come into being by chance.

00:36.700 --> 00:40.580
Plants are entities with no hands, eyes or brains.

00:40.580 --> 00:45.460
Plants lack such features of consciousness and reason as decision making, the use of

00:45.460 --> 00:48.380
free will and lack the possession of knowledge.

00:48.380 --> 00:53.000
Yet as we have seen in what we have described so far, the characteristics of plants and the

00:53.000 --> 00:59.360
function they perform require enormous intelligence and consciousness.

00:59.360 --> 01:09.280
Indeed, plants all over the world successfully carry out processes in as little as a billionth

01:09.280 --> 01:15.680
of a second, whereas rational, conscious and knowledgeable human beings with advanced technology

01:15.680 --> 01:21.000
cannot replicate nor even understand such a process.

01:21.000 --> 01:27.680
Of course, plants have been behaving under the inspiration of Omniscient God, our Creator,

01:27.680 --> 01:30.860
ever since they were first created.

01:30.860 --> 01:37.160
Every plant cell and even every atom is told what to do moment by moment.

01:37.160 --> 01:49.100
This fact is made clear in a verse from the Quran.

01:49.100 --> 01:55.100
It is God who created the seven heavens, and of the earth the same number, the command descending

01:55.100 --> 02:00.440
down through all of them, so that you might know that God has power over all things, and

02:00.440 --> 02:03.620
that God encompasses all things in His knowledge.
