If anyone comes up with such a nonsensical idea, you can
just ask him these questions:
Even if we suppose that a beaver, say Mrs. Beaver or
I, discovered how to build this lodge by coincidence, we
see that all beavers build their homes in the same way.
Have they all discovered it by coincidence?
As my teeth wear down, new ones grow in their
place. This is the same for all beavers. Isn’t it clear that
this could not have come about as a result of
coincidences?
As you can see, one merely needs to think a little to
see how impossible this is and how senseless this claim
is. Please ask your sister in which course they learnt that
dams should be built at an angle of 45 degrees and what
kinds of calculation they needed to make. Then you will
understand me better.
Karim:
You are right Mr. Beaver. It is evident that a
Superior Being of outstanding intelligence taught you all
these things. Mom told me that Allah is All-Wise. It is
evidence of the matchless wisdom of our Lord that He
taught this both to you and to other beavers as well as to
all beavers who have lived so far. I know too that it is not
only you whom Allah taught what to do, but all living things.
