DARWINISTS NEVER CONSIDER THAT PLANTS WERE CREATED THROUGH MIRACLES

It is unlikely that a book, whose words hold the entire book within itself and whose letters hold an entire line within themselves, can come into being without the existence of an author. Likewise, the existence of the Book of the Universe depends on the existence of Allah, the Ever-Lasting. 23  Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

Darwinists never realize that coincidences can never account for the way that poppy flowers release their pollen at the exact time when there are the most pollen-bearing insects around and that their biological clocks ensure their own times of blooming.

Darwinists never understand that it is impossible for unconscious plants like maize and beans to have learned to emit a special secretion in their leaves to protect themselves against predators. With those secretions, they can attract the hornets to eat the parasites that feed on these plants. That defense strategy cannot have been developed by a plant devoid of any consciousness.

Darwinists never realize how tiny seeds, the majority of which resemble tiny bits of wood, eventually turn into giant trees 4 to 5 meters tall and weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Darwinists never realize how the information determining the red color of the rose, the folds in its leaves, its petals' velvety softness, and its perfume is all installed inside its genes, and that this applies to all plant species.

Darwinists never marvel at how grapes appear as sweet, water-filled globes from the seemingly dry branches of the vine. Information in the seeds' genes makes grape pith different from the shell of a hazelnut and gives these two fruits their distinctive colors, tastes and smells, and the vitamins inside them. It makes one dry and the other juicy, so that hazelnuts always appear as hazelnuts, and grapes as grapes.

The outside of pollens is protected by a substance known as the exine. This is an essential precaution for the transportation of pollen and can only be accounted for by a sublime creation.

There are seeds that remain dormant for dozens or even hundreds of years if conditions are unsuitable, and that sprout only later. Darwinists never realize how plants know how to survive under even the harshest conditions.

Darwinists never point out that even though microbes in the soil generally have decaying, destructive effects, a seed in the soil and its roots just half a millimeter thick never come to any harm. On the contrary, they use the soil to constantly grow and develop. Darwinists never question how delicate roots can protect themselves.

Darwinists never explain how, if a seed sprouting below the ground is prevented from reaching the surface, it will grow around any obstacles by sending out long shoots, or else will build up pressure from where it is growing to eventually reach the daylight.

Photosynthesis is a rather complicated event, and it seems impossible for it to emerge in an organelle inside a cell, because it is impossible for all the stages to have come about at once, and it is meaningless for them to have emerged separately. 24  Prof. Ali Demirsoy

Darwinists never point out that a single square millimeter of leaf contains 500,000 chlorophyll molecules. In every leaf there are millions of these glorious molecules, which are essential for photosynthesis and cannot be obtained in any laboratory.

Darwinists never realize that the highly complex process of photosynthesis cannot have come into being by chance. It cannot have been subsequently learned by a cell. The first living plants on Earth were specially designed in order to perform photosynthesis. Almighty Allah has created plants together with that ability.

We will show them Our Signs on the horizon and within themselves    until it is clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not enough for your Lord that He is a witness of everything?
(Surat al-Fussilat, 53)

In the earth there are diverse regions side by side and gardens of grapes and cultivated fields, and palm-trees sharing one root and others with individual roots, all watered with the same water.
(Surat ar-Ra’d, 4)

Darwinists never realize that, apart from green plants living on Earth, algae capable of making photosynthesis absorb a 30% level of carbon dioxide and meet 70% of the planet's oxygen needs.

Just as an ordinary machine, with its orderly and measured unity, reveals the existence of a skilful and scrupulous craftsman, each one of the countless [living] machines crowding the universe indicates thousands of miracles of wisdom. To the degree of the Sun's light, the glowworm's light brightly testifies that those living beings exist due to the existence of their skilful and eternal Master, and that He deserves to be worshipped. 25 Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

A small seed resembling a lump of wood is the source of countless fruits, flowers, trees, colors, perfumes, flavors and beauties sprouting from beneath the ground. Darwinists never think of this extraordinary fact.

Even though all plants are sown in soil with the same properties, receiving the same sunlight and irrigated with the same water, each has its own unique colors, scents and shapes, and that this alone is a proof of Allah's creative artistry.

Darwinists never appreciate that fruits with just the right level of sugar, unique perfumes and tastes emerge from a seed, and that this information cannot form in a tiny seed by chance.

Darwinists never explain how some tree species, such as poplars, lose up to 265 liters (70 gallons) of water an hour in hot weather, yet they never dry up. How did they come to possess an efficient root system, which cannot be a product of chance?

Darwinists never explain how pollens, essential to the reproduction of various plant species, are able to reach other members of the same species hundreds of kilometers, carried along by the wind.

Darwinists never realize that the outer surface of pollen grains are coated with a resistant substance known as exine, which protects the pollen against high pressure and temperatures. By whichever means it is transported, it can remain alive at a distance of many kilometers from the original plant.

Darwinists never account for the more than 500,000 varieties of plants on Earth, each of which has its own unique features and systems.

Darwinists never realize that plants need a root system to absorb substances they need from the soil, and that it is impossible for plants themselves to have designed this capillary mechanism.

No cell possesses the capacity to "learn"' a process in the true sense of the word. It is impossible for any cell to come by the ability to carry out such functions as respiration or photosynthesis, neither when it first comes into being, nor later in [its] life. 26  Hoimar Von Ditfurth, German biologist

Pollen, protected by perfect armor until it germinates, is the first stage in the formation of a glorious plant. The germinating plant develops flowers and bears fruit, proving it is a glorious work of art. This life form is a miracle created by Allah.

Darwinists never realize that each species of plant has unique features, such as its own scent, taste and color. Moreover, every single plant cell possesses far too complex a system to have come into existence by chance.

Darwinists never realize how it is that even while there is a high concentration of pollen in the air, a plant can transmit its pollen grains to other members of its species without their being caught by other species.

Have you thought about what you cultivate?
Is it you who make it germinate or are We the Germinator?
(Surat al-Waqi’a, 63-64)

Darwinists never understand how the process of photosynthesis, which cannot be fully replicated by scientists in a laboratory, is regularly performed by unconscious plants.

Darwinists never explain how annual desert plants protect themselves against droughts by remaining dormant in seed form, and that once it has rained, these seeds sprout very quickly. How are plants, devoid of consciousness, able to implement this plan?

Darwinists never realize how an apple seed contains all the information about the tree it will grow into, its shape and color, its fruits, the flowers that will bloom, the smell of those flowers and all the other features possessed by that tree.

Indeed, how could the creation of spring be difficult for the Possessor of Absolute Power, Who each spring makes the face of the world into a plain of resurrection, and brings forth there a hundred thousand examples of resurrection? 27  Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

Darwinists never realize how a single seed will eventually develop into a tree 4 to 5 meters (157 to 196 inches) tall and weighing hundreds of kilos. This growth cannot be explained by any scenario of gradual evolution.

Darwinists never realize that the leaves of coniferous trees possess a special protective coating against the winter cold, and that their waxy surfaces prevent water evaporation to make the leaves more resistant.

Darwinists never realize how all a plant's details—for example, the red color of the rose, the folds in its leaves, the number, the softness and the velvety texture of its petals, its perfume—are all installed inside the embryo. No coincidence has the power to gather together so much detailed information inside that tiny embryo's DNA.

Your Lord revealed to the bees:
‘Build dwellings in the mountains and the trees, and also in the structures which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your Lord, which have been made easy for you to follow.’ From inside them comes a drink of varying colors, containing healing for mankind.
(Surat an-Nahl, 68-69)

Darwinists never appreciate that a seed requires careful protection until the embryo can germinate. This is why seeds have outer casings that vary according to the species and to the conditions under which the plant lives, and that these casings' resistance has been specially regulated.

Darwinists never explain how a seed, which they claim came into being by chance, has been equipped with a special system to keep enemies at a distance. Some are covered with a bitter substance produced by means of the genetic information inside them.

The lupin estimates the prevailing weather and blooms when it is right.

Darwinists never realize how some species of plant seeds have a gelatinous substance made up of complex sugars on their outer membranes, and that this substance swells up in contact with water. This lets the seed easily adhere to moist substances, which play a major role in germination.

Darwinists never realize that this gelatinous substance is produced on the outer membranes of the seeds of certain species in a calculated manner.

Darwinists never realize that a single bean has a special connection known as a micropyle where it joins onto the pod. This structure resembles a baby's umbilical cord and serves to fertilize the female reproductive cell inside the pod. Then later, when the time comes water passes through it from the outside, allowing the seed to sprout.

Darwinists never realize how the center of gravity of the seeds of the plant Zanonia, which float in the air, is based on exceedingly delicate measurements, thanks to which the seeds can be hurled considerable distances. This special creation could never have come about by chance.

Darwinists never explain why seeds of cress and similar plants are covered in a hydrophobic (water-repellent) coating, which allows them to make use of water's surface tension and thus not to sink. Thanks to this system, such seeds are able to cross entire rivers.

Darwinists never understand how some plants realize that they must enter a kind of state of suspended animation in order to survive very arid seasons. They therefore lose the water they contain from their tissues through a genetically controlled process. By means of a hormone known as absissic acid, hormones inside the seed slow into this state of suspended animation, and this takes place in a seemingly conscious manner.

Pollens that travel hundreds of kilometers behave as if they know they will reach other members of their species. Darwinism remains speechless in the face of such a system.

Darwinists never realize how a seed under the ground is aware of worsening climatic conditions and decides to take precautions to delay sprouting.

For example, in the spring, all the trees are garbed in clothes as fine as silk, just like the houris in Paradise; they are encrusted with flowers and fruits, as if with jewels, and made to offer us numerous varieties of the choicest fruits, on branches delicately outstretched like the hands of a servant. Similarly, we are given wholesome and sweet honey to eat, from the bee with its sting; we are clothed in the finest and softest of clothes by means of an insect that has no hands; and within a small seed, a great treasure of mercy is preserved for us. It is selfevident that all of this is the effect of a most beauteous generosity, a most delicate sense of mercy. 28  Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

Darwinists can never realize how the lupine that grows in the Arctic tundra can forecast the weather. If conditions are bad, it enters a kind of suspended animation under the soil and waits for the weather to improve. If necessary, it can wait hundreds of years until the appropriate conditions arise and then begin growing again.

Darwinists never realize that in the roots of a sprouting plant are cells that perceive gravitational pull, and light-sensitive cells in the upward growing tips. Light and gravity determine the direction of growth of the roots and sprouts.

Darwinists never realize that with their photosynthetic systems that convert light into nutrients and break carbon dioxide into oxygen, leaves ensure the ecological balance and could never have emerged by chance.

Darwinists never realize how plants—which manufacture carbohydrates, the fundamental food source of all living things, by using solar energy—manage to carry out this process in as little as one billionth of a second.

We sent down cascading water from the clouds so that by it
We might bring forth grains and plants and luxuriant gardens.
(Surat an-Naba’, 14-16)

Darwinists never appreciate the process by which plants, which have no central nervous systems or any brain to control them, absorb specific quantities of minerals and water from the soil and make use of air and the Sun to produce food for all animal life.

Darwinists never explain that maple trees, which possess no intelligence, protect themselves against harmful pests with the tannin they manufacture. Much more powerful than man-made pesticides, its production can never be explained in terms of coincidences.

Darwinists can never account for the irreducible complexity in all plant systems by the theory of evolution.

Darwinists never appreciate how pollens, essential to the reproduction of various plant species, can reach other members of the same species hundreds of kilometers (miles) away by being carried along by the wind.

Darwinists never appreciate the extraordinary exception of the coconut, the seeds of palm tree. Most seeds that sprout as soon as they come into contact with water. But thanks to its tough shell, coconuts, do not germinate during their 80-day journey in salt water and are thus able to survive.

Since the universe and beings exist, and within them are acts and creation; and since an orderly act cannot occur without an author, a meaningful book cannot exist without a scribe, nor a skilful embroidery without an embroiderer, the purposeful acts that fill the universe surely have an Author, and the meaningful letters and amazing embroideries that cover the face of the Earth and are renewed from season to season have a Scribe and an Embroiderer. 29  Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

Pollens that travel hundreds of kilometers behave as if they know they will reach other members of their species. Darwinism remains speechless in the face of such a system.

Darwinists never realize that chance can never account for how trees can supply water to even their uppermost leaves, without the need for any pump or similar system.

Darwinists never realize the intelligence and consciousness with which trees' leaves carry out complex chemical processes in their cells in order to fall only in autumn.

Darwinists never admit that the superior, highly rational system by which the plane tree emits poison into the soil to protect the tree from weeds without damaging the tree itself could never emerge by chance.

Darwinists never realize that plants were created, together with the many various defensive mechanisms they use to protect themselves.

Darwinists' theory of evolution can never account for the way that when attacked, a leaf informs other leaves on the same plant and tells them to protect themselves by emitting jasmonic acid.

All of these fruits and the seeds within them are miracles of Divine wisdom, wonders of Divine art, gifts of Divine mercy, material proofs of Divine unity, and bearers of the good news that Divine favors will be granted in the Hereafter. Just as they are all truthful witnesses to His all-embracing power and knowledge, each of them is a mirror confirming His unity in all the corners of the world of multiplicity and in all the parts of the world of this tree, a world that has become multiple. They turn the gaze from multiplicity to unity. 30  Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

It is He Who sends down water from the sky from which We bring forth growth of every kind.
(Surat al-An’am, 99)

Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down water from the sky and by it brings forth fruits as provision for you.
(Surah Ibrahim, 12)

Darwinists fail to consider that plants and their leaves have a sublime evaporative cooling system, a system that can never be accounted for in terms of chance.

Darwinists can never explain in terms of evolution how the impermeable waxy layer covering the leaves' surfaces, known as the cuticle, reduces water loss to a minimum.

Darwinists never realize that chance cannot explain how desert plants "learned" to conserve water rather than allowing it to evaporate, and how they came to possess features ideally suited to harsh desert conditions.

The lotus plant uses rain drops to clean the dust particles from its surface. Darwinists never think that this attribute, which they try to imitate using contemporary technology, could never come about by chance.

Darwinists never fully understand how trees, despite their outer surfaces being covered in a dry bark can pass many tons of water up through their trunks and in the absence of that mechanism, could never survive.

Darwinists never realize that Allah created plants in such a manner as to give pleasure to humans with their matchless colors and differing tastes and aromas, despite their growing in the same soil and being irrigated with the same water.

Darwinists never realize that the way that cultivated trees absorb into their fruits only those minerals essential for human beings, just like a nutritionist.

Darwinists never explain how certain trees, devoid of any means of planning, adopt the most stunning colors in the autumn. This cannot be explained in terms of evolution.

Darwinists never account for the leaves of trees in cold climates being coated in a waxy substance, for which reason they can survive without suffering water loss. This adaptation cannot be accounted for in terms of blind chance.

Darwinists never admit that architects who design the roofs of houses in sharp peaks to avoid damage from the weight of heavy snow are inspired by the evergreen trees created by Allah. A great many other highly rational structures in nature inspire engineers, none of which can have emerged by chance.

Darwinists never admit that the biological clocks that plants possess in order to survive cannot be accounted for by the theory of evolution.

Darwinists never recognize that their theory is wholly refuted by this admission of Anthony Trewavas, a member of the Edinburgh University Institute of Cellular and Molecular Biology, that appeared in the 21 February, 2002, edition of Nature under the title "Plant Intelligence: Mindless Mastery": "Internally, plant cells and tissues communicate with each other using proteins; nucleic acids; many hormones; mineral, chemical, hydraulic, mechanical, oxidative and electrical signals; peptides; various lipids; sugars; wall fragments; and other complex carbohydrates. Quite how individual plant cells accommodate this prodigious amount of information is not understood."

On the page of the Earth, raise your head, open your eyes, and look at the great Book of the Universe. You will see that on it as a whole a stamp of Unity is read out which is as clear as it is big. 31  Bediuzzaman Said Nursi

Darwinists never realize that the process in which the lotus plant wipes away the dust particles on its flat leaves by using raindrops could never have come about by chance.

Darwinists never think that the theory of evolution can never account for the camouflage ability possessed by many plants to protect themselves from predators and is able to deceive humans as well.

Darwinists never realize the way that the numerical series known as the Fibonacci series, is encountered so often in different plants that it can never be explained in terms of evolution.
