✦ Contradictions in Modern Scientific Theories of the Creation of the Universe ✦
❖ Background: Foundations of Modern Ideologies and Beliefs
Every individual or ideological framework derives its foundational beliefs from a specific view of the universe and the origin of life.
Hence, any worldview or social doctrine must be based on sound rational and intellectual arguments.
✔ Modern ideologies such as secularism and liberalism, rooted in scientific assumptions, reject the existence of a Creator.
✔ Understanding the intellectual and moral basis of these ideologies is essential to evaluate the strength or weakness of their philosophical justifications.
❖ Creation of the Universe: An Evaluation of Scientific Theories
◈ M-Theory and Imaginary Foundations
✔ M-Theory is a scientific attempt to unify superstring theories and explain the possibility of a self-originating universe.
✔ This theory is based on complex concepts of space such as quantum uncertainty, supersymmetry, and multiple dimensions.
✔ According to renowned physicist Sir Roger Penrose, the M-Theory presented in Stephen Hawking’s book The Grand Design is not an actual theory but rather a collection of ideas and hypotheses.
◈ Stephen Hawking’s Explanation
In The Grand Design, Hawking writes:
“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.”
However, this assumption is fraught with contradictions:
➤ If truly “nothing” existed, how could the law of gravity already exist?
➤ Gravity’s existence is dependent on matter—if matter did not exist, gravity would not either.
✔ These contradictions render the theory logically inconsistent and philosophically weak.
❖ Religion vs. Science: A Comparison
✔ While science hesitates to affirm the existence of God, it does not deny the possibility of an external force behind creation.
✔ If the existence of gravity or other forces is essential for creation, this indirectly points to an infinite force—God—as the originator.
❖ Creation of the Universe: Science vs. Religion
Scientific Explanation
✔ Scientific assumptions claim that the existence of the universe and life is a mere coincidence, made possible through the Law of Probability.
✔ According to this theory, countless universes emerged and vanished, and our universe is one that survived.
Religious Explanation
✔ Religion asserts that the universe was created by the will of an infinite, all-powerful being—Allah.
✔ The laws of nature and the cosmic order are governed by principles established by Allah.
❖ Limitations of Scientific Theories
Modern scientific explanations of the universe fail to answer several fundamental questions:
➤ What is the source of human thought?
➤ From where does the energy within the atom originate?
➤ Why do photons travel at such high speeds?
➤ Why do humans and animals age?
➤ How does the link between desire and action form in living beings?
❖ Moral Decline in Modern Ideologies
✔ Modern irreligious ideologies like secularism and liberalism fail to provide a firm foundation for human ethics and philosophy of life:
➤ They view man as merely a part of nature, thereby weakening the basis of objective morality.
➤ Under these ideologies, Western societies have formulated laws contradictory to human nature, such as:
– Same-sex marriage
– Cohabitation without marriage
❖ Conclusion
✔ The scientific and modern explanations of the universe’s creation contain serious intellectual and logical contradictions.
✔ These theories often mislead the human mind and lack a strong foundation for ethics and a coherent worldview.
✨ In contrast, divinely revealed teachings offer the clarity, structure, and ethical grounding essential for understanding life, creation, and human purpose.
