(i) Living-things and water
The scientists tell us that billions of years ago primeval matter in the sea began to generate protoplasm[1] out of which came the amoeba; and out that mire in the sea came all living things. In one word ALL LIFE came from the sea, i.e., Water !!
When we ask them that no man of learning, no philosopher or poet could ever have guessed your biological discovery fourteen centuries back, could he?? They tell us “No, never!”. Well, then, just see what the Quran has to say:
“And we made from water every living thing; will they (the unbelievers, the atheists, and the agnostics) then not believe?” (The Quran, 21:30)
The above statement is further elaborated in the Quran as:
“And Allah created every animal from water, of them there are some that creep on their bellies, some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four legs; Allah creates what He wills, for verily Allah has power over all things.” (The Quran, 24:45)
It is clear that this fact could not have been scientifically known when the Quran was revealed. This testifies to the fact that the Quran is the book of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.
[1] Protoplasm is the basis of all living matter, and “the vital power of protoplasm seems to depend on the constant presence of water”.
