If a cartoon character said, "I came into existence when ink was
spilt on the paper by chance. The paints were also spilt by chance and
formed the colours. That is to say, I do not need anyone to draw my
picture or shape me. I can come into being myself, by chance," you would
surely not take it seriously. You know that the perfect lines, colours and
actions in cartoons cannot be formed by randomly spilling paint here and
there, since knocking over an ink bottle only makes a mess; It never
forms a fine picture made up of regular lines. For something meaningful
and with a purpose to come into being, someone has to think about it,
design it and draw it.
If the boy in this cartoon says, "My picture here has been drawn by ink
being spilt on a white sheet of paper by pure chance," this will just sound
strange, since we know that it is an artist who drew this picture. Similarly,
a man sounds strange if he fails to accept that Allah created him.
