In Harun Yahya's The Creation of the Universe various arguments are made, arguments derived from physical considerations, regarding the purported "fine tuning" and great improbability of our universe being the way it is by chance. The author always leads the reader toward Allah as being the necessary agent for making a universe that is supposedly fine-tuned for us.

Moslem creationists, like many Christian creationists, are not necessarily averse to knowledge brought about by modern science. They will embrace aspects of science that seem like a good argument and with a very creative reading of the Bible, or Qur'an, in this case, attempt to show the compatibility of both.

In reality, the universe we live in is not conducive to widespread human life. Why should a Creator create such a vast universe, where in vastly more than 99.999% of the universe our life would perish because of cold, heat, radiation, lack of drinking water, air, food, land to live on, et cetera. Rather than this being a universe specifically created to make human life possible, it is a universe that is extremely hostile to the type of life that we know of.

There are untold numbers of places in this universe where some of the necessary ingredients for the kind of life that we know occur. Is the Creator a failure in all of these places where not all of the necessary conditions exist of conscious life to exist?

So far, we only know of one place, our Earth that has the right conditions for conscious creatures with the ability to ponder their existence and to communicate outside of our home world. Even here, on our Earth, sometimes referred to as the miracle planet, conditions weren't always so great for life. There have been times in the ancient past, long before humans invented their concept of sin, when natural events occurred, that wiped out great percentages of species and whole orders of life. What does this say of a Creator who fined tuned the universe for life? Were the great meteor impacts, which are believed to be responsible for some or all of these periods of mass extinction part of the Creators fine-tuning? Did he need to intervene to kill off the dinosaurs so that humans could eventually evolve from mammals, which previously lived in the shadows of the great beasts?

As we can see with the points I have raised, those who attempt to mix religion with true knowledge of the world can get themselves into a difficult position.

Yes If you read this book I believe you think like me. Before read this, I never thought on the existence of the universe and the perfect balance of the system. I knew the stars and some planets which turn around it on their orbits, and star also goes through on a orbit to another big star. But that is not only simple reality. The balances, the numbers exceeds my understanding, the temperatures are unbelievable, the speeds unpredictable. The distances and their balances are not explained by chance.
If you read this book, you can understand that the existence of the universe cannot explained without accepting creation and designer.
Thanks to all men and women who spend time and effort to present this book to me. From writer to YOU ...and other sellers and to my BEST friend AHMET who advised me this book.

i am aware of science, i am also aware of religion. But this was a great experience seeing that science and religion meets this well. thanks to the author for his intellectual study

As I am really interested about the writings of Harun Yahya, I would be gratefull if you can instruct me find the religious books that he has written in these last years about Muslims.
