The facts Beyond Matter & Lawh-i Mahfuz

The facts Beyond Matter & Lawh-i Mahfuz

Information... This notion today means a lot more than it did even a half century ago. Scientists are developing theories to define information. Group scientists speak of "the data age." data is becoming a very important notion for humanity.

The discovery of data in the origin of both the universe and life itself is what makes this notion so important in the modern world. Scientists today are realizing that the universe is formed by "matter, power and information," and this is replacing the materialistic doctrine of the nineteenth century that defined the universe as being made up entirely of "matter and energy."

So, what does this all mean?

Let's elaborate through an example, that of Dna. All living cells function according to the genetic data in the double helix buildings of Dna. Our bodies are also formed by trillions of cells each with its own Dna, and all the functions of our bodies are registered in this giant molecule. Our cells use protein codes inscribed in the Dna to produce new proteins. The data that our Dna possesses is so large that if you wanted to write it down, it would fill up 900 volumes of encyclopedias, cover-to-cover!

So what is Dna made up of? Fifty years ago, scientists would have replied that Dna is formed by nucleic acids called nucleotides and the chemical bonds keeping these nucleotides together. In other words, they used to list only the material elements of the Dna. But today, scientists have a separate answer: Dna is composed of atoms, molecules, chemical bonds and, most importantly, information.

It's just like a book. We would be quite mistaken to say that a book is only made up of paper, ink and binding for, alongside these materials, it is the data that truly makes it a book. It is data which separates a volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica from a "book" formed by randomly arranged letters like Abicldixxggsdll. Both have paper, ink and binding, but one has data while the other does not. The source of data is the author of that book, a mind with consciousness. Therefore we can't deny that the data in Dna was placed there by an appealing being.

The data Dead End of Evolutionary theory and Materialism

The discovery of this fact has sent materialist doctrine and Darwinism, its application to the natural sciences, into a dead end, because materialist doctrine claims that all living things are formed by matter alone and that genetic data appeared somehow by "chance." This is like saying that a book could be formed from a random assemblage of paper and ink.

Materialism subscribes to the theory of "reductionism," which claims that data can ultimately be reduced to matter. For this reason, materialists say that there's no need to look for any source of data besides matter. But this assertion has been proven to be in error, and even materialists have started to owe up to this truth.

One of the important defenders of the theory of evolution, George C. Williams, pointed in a 1995 essay to the mistake of materialism (reductionism), that is, assuming all to consist of materials:

Evolutionary biologists have failed to realize that they work with two more or less incommensurable domains: that of data and that of matter... These two domains will never be brought together in any kind of the sense commonly implied by the term "reductionism." ...The gene is a holder of information, not an object... In biology, when you're talking about things like genes and genotypes and gene pools, you're talking about information, not bodily objective reality... This dearth of shared descriptors makes matter and data two detach domains of existence, which have to be discussed separately, in their own terms. 1

Stephen C. Meyer, a philosopher of science from the Cambridge University and who is considerable of the theory of evolution as well as materialism, says in an interview:

One thing I do in classes to get this idea over the students is that I hold up two computer disks. One is loaded with software, the other one is blank. And I ask, "What is the disagreement in mass between these two computer disks as a consequent of the disagreement in the data content that they possess"? And of course the write back is zero, none, there is no disagreement as a consequent of the information. That is because data is a massless quantity. data is not a material entity.

Then how can any materialistic explanation elaborate its origin? How can any material cause elaborate its origin?... This creates a basal challenge to the materialistic evolutionary scenarios.

In the 19th century, we notion that there were two basal entities of science: Matter and energy. At the starting of the 21st century, we now recognize that there is a third basal entity, and it is information. It is not reducible to matter; it is not reducible to energy. 2

All theories put send in the twentieth century to cut data to matter-like the random origin of life, self-organization of matter, the biological theory of evolution that has tried to elaborate species' genetic data through the mechanism of mutation and natural selection-have failed. Professor Phillip Johnson, a important critic of Darwinism, wrote:

The real duality at every level of biology is the duality of matter and information. The philosophers of mind-science fail to understand the true nature of data because they assume that it is produced by a material (i.e. Darwinian) process and hence is not something fundamentally separate from matter. But this is merely a prejudice that would be swept away by unbiased thinking. 3

As Johnson states, "information is not matter, although it is imprinted on matter. It comes from elsewhere, from an intelligence...." Dr. Werner Gitt, a director and professor at the German Federal make of Physics and Technology, expressed much the same thought:

A coding theory all the time entails a nonmaterial intellectual process. A bodily matter cannot produce an data code. All experiences show that every piece of creative data represents some reasoning endeavor and can be traced to a personal idea-giver who exercised his own free will, and who is endowed with an appealing mind.... There is no known law of nature, no known process and no known sequence of events which can cause data to originate by itself in matter... 4

As we discussed above, a book is formed by paper, ink and the data it includes. The source of this data is the mind of the author.

And there is one more important point: This mind comes prior to the material elements and it decides how to use them. A book first appears in the mind of the someone who will write that book. The author makes logical connections and comes up with sentences. Later, in the second stage, he gives these ideas a material form. By using a typewriter or computer, he turns the data contained within his mind into letters. Later these letters go to a printing house and they make up a book.

So here, we can reach the following conclusion: "If matter includes information, then that material has been pre-organized by a mind possessing that information. First there was a mind, and then the owner of that mind turned that data into matter and thus created a design."

The Mind That Existed Before Matter

Therefore, the source of the data in nature cannot be the matter itself, as the materialists claim. The source of data is not matter, but rather a supra-material Mind. This Mind existed before matter. The Mind created, shaped and organized the whole material universe.

Biology isn't the only field of science important us to this conclusion. Twentieth century astronomy and physics also demonstrated the existence of an phenomenal harmony and design, pointing to the existence of a Mind that existed before the universe and created it.

Israeli scientist Gerald Schroeder who studied physics and biology in universities like the Massachusetts make of Technology (Mit), and the author of the book The Science of God, makes some important remarks on this subject. In his new book entitled The underground Face of God: Science Reveals the greatest Truth, he explains the end reached by molecular biology and measure physics as follows:

A singular consciousness, a universal wisdom, pervades the universe. The discoveries of science, those that hunt the measure nature of subatomic matter, have moved us to the brink of a imaginable realization: all existence is the expression of this wisdom. In the laboratories we feel it as data that first physically articulated as power and then condensed into the form of matter. Every particle, every being, from atom to human, appears to represent a level of information, of wisdom. 5

According to Schroeder, the scientific results of our age lead science and theology to meet at a tasteless truth. This is the truth of Creation. Science is now re-discovering this truth that divine religions have in fact taught to humanity for millennia.

The Lawh-i Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet)

So far, we have looked at science's conclusions about the universe and the origin of living things. The end is that the whole universe and life itself were created using a blueprint of magnificent data that existed before.

This end reached by modern science is strikingly in business agreement with a underground that was laid out in the Qur'an some 14 centuries ago. In the Qur'an, a book sent to habitancy as a guide, God announced that the Lawh-i Mahfuz (the Preserved Tablet) existed before the creation of the universe and that it furthermore explained all creation and events in the universe.

The Lawh-i Mahfuz was "guarded" (mahfuz) so the things written there were not changed or spoiled. In the Qur'an, this is called "Ommu al-Kitabi" (The mother of the Book), "Kitabun Hafeethun" (All-Preserving Book), "Kitabin Maknoonin" (Well-Protected Book) or just the book. It is also called Kitabin min Qabli (The Book of Decrees) since it also tells of the events that humanity will face.

In many verses, God tells about the characteristics of the Lawh-i Mahfuz. First of all, there is nothing missing from this book:

The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but Him. He knows all in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 6: 59)

One verse says that all life in the world is recorded in the Lawh-i Mahfuz:

There is no beast crawling on the earth or flying creature, flying on its wings, who are not communities just like yourselves -We have not omitted anyone from the Book- then they will be gathered to their Lord. (Qur'an, 6: 38)

In other verse, it is stated that "on earth and in the heavens," in the whole universe, all creatures and things, along with the smallest speck, are known by God and recorded in the Lawh-i Mahfuz:

You do not engage in any matter or impart any of the Qur'an or do any performance without Our witnessing you while you are occupied with it. Not even the smallest speck eludes your Lord, whether on earth or in heaven. Nor is there anyone smaller than that, or larger, which is not in a Clear Book. (Qur'an, 10: 61)

All data concerning humanity is in the Lawh-i Mahfuz, and this includes the genetic code of all habitancy and their destinies:

Nonetheless they are amazed that a warner should have come to them from among themselves and those who disbelieve say, "What an phenomenal thing! When we are dead and turned to dust? That would be a most unlikely return!" We know exactly how the earth eats them away. We possess an all-preserving Book. (Qur'an, 50: 2-4)

The following verse states that God's words in the Lawh-i Mahfuz are endless, and this is explained through an example:

If all the trees on earth were pens and all the sea, with seven more seas besides, was ink God's words still would not run dry. God is Almighty, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 31: 27)

Conclusion

The facts that we explored in this article prove yet again that the findings of modern science confirm what religion teaches to people. The materialist dogmatism that has been imposed on science is in fact rejected by science itself.

The conclusions of modern science about data serve to objectively demonstrate who is right in a dispute that has been raging for thousands of years. This dispute has been waged between materialist notion and religion. Materialist notion claims that matter is without starting and that nothing existed before matter. Religion, on the other hand, states that God existed before matter, and that matter is created and ruled by God's endless knowledge.

The fact that this truth, which has been taught by divine religions - like Judaism, Christianity and Islam - since the dawn of history, has been proved by the findings of science, is an indication of the impending post-atheist age. Humanity is getting closer to realizing that God truly exists and He is the "All-Knowing." Just as reminded to habitancy in the following verse of the Holy Qur'an:

Do you not know that God knows all in heaven and earth? That is in a Book. That is easy for God. (Qur'an, 22: 70)
