Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Culture and Religious Studies Book -4 Lesson 5 : Using the System As Proof of God Part II In the previous lesson we reached a conclusion that in any system, every part has its own special duty, but that each parts is varied in shape, size, position and function. We also saw that a particular element may be excluded due to lack of functionality or efficiency.

Having said this, we can ask the following questions: Why is it that from all the different things in the world, only certain entities have been assembled in a particular group? And in addition to this, why have elements with certain qualities and functions been selected above the countless other varieties available? When we contemplate the details of an orderly group, our intellect will show us that the creator of the group must have had an aim to begin with.

In order to achieve this aim, he then laid down a design or plan for what would have to been done. Based on this plan, he would choose special components to perform the functions required. However, the choices would have to be made by an expert in the field so that each part would perform up to the standard desired.

From the above assessment we can derive four principles that every organized system must be based upon: Aim Plan/Design Choice of parts/elements Expert advice on choices Qualities Of A Maker Of course, it is now obvious that the Maker or Creator of a system must have an Aim to begin with, design the system, select its components and have the relevant knowledge at hand to make these selections wisely and correctly.

However, despite having these abilities, if he does not possess one fundamental quality then the others are void/useless.This basic quality is that of consciousness. If the Maker is not aware then the system cannot survive. Would you expect a child who is unaware of any of the laws governing this world to produce an article explaining the workings of his remote control car? Hardly!

Or try to imagine that this book you are holding is the result of a series of coincidences where a sudden reaction of gases and matter created the paper and then brought together atoms in pattern that just happened to form characters into sensible sentences. A little too farfetched, is it not? Thus, for anything to exist and especially those things that are related to the intellect, there has to be some sort of pre-planned program that has been set into action.
