The many tasks that animals carry out and their actions require a degree of judgement, knowledge, experience and expertise going far beyond what they could imaginably do with the degree of intelligence available to them. Even simple observation is enough for us to know that it is not the animals themselves that produce these superior characteristics. Consider the ability of birds migrating thousands of kilometres to navigate faultlessly, the marvellous architectural skills employed by spiders when spinning their webs, the perfect cooperation and sharing of duties in ant colonies, the wonderful geometry of the honeycombs, built cooperatively by thousands of bees, and countless other examples...
The source of intelligence and will that enable animals to do these things is to be found neither in their bodies nor in nature, but rather in the conscious intervention of a hidden intelligence and power which reveals itself at every stage. Even if the owner of this intelligence and power cannot be seen, such intervention in events provides enough evidence of the existence of this power to remove all doubt.
The evolutionist scientists who are aware of this also admit to the existence of a power that goes far beyond the ability of these creatures to carry out their labours, but they limit their explanations of the subject by calling this power “instinct.” Because they do not wish to acknowledge the true holder of this power they call instinct, they also invent a name for it and call it “mother nature.” However, to date, no evolutionist has been able to show the place where the order is given for what they call instinct, to define what they call “mother nature,” to explain whether it is a stone, a tree, a river, a mountain, a sea or a star.
As a result, the evolutionists create an imaginary god out of what they call “mother nature” and apply the term “instinct” to behaviour that is really brought about by the command and inspiration of God. God reveals in the Qur’an as follows:
What you serve apart from Him are only names which you and your forefathers have made up. There is no mandate for them from God… (Qur’an, 12:40)
