Anyone with even a particle of intelligence would understand what an obvious impossibility this is; to attribute such an artefact to those particles.

 

Third Impossibility

 

If your being is not written by the pen of the Pre-Eternal and All-Powerful One, who is the Single One of Unity, and is instead printed by nature and causes, there would have to  be printing-blocks in nature not only to the number of cells in your body, but to the number  of their thousands of combinations, which are arranged in concentric circles. For if this book, for example, which we hold in our hand is written, a single pen may write it relying on the knowledge of its writer. If, on the other hand, it is not written and is not attributed to its writer’s pen, and if it is said that it exists of its own  accord  or  it  is  ascribed  to  nature,  then,  as  a  printed  book,  it  would  be necessary for there to be a different iron pen for each letter so that it could be printed. In a printing-press there have to be pieces of type to the number of letters  in the alphabet so the letters in the book come into existence by means of them; pens to the number of those letters being necessary in place of a single pen.

As may be seen, sometimes a whole page is written in a single large letter from among  those letters with a small pen in fine script, in which case a thousand pens would be necessary for one letter. Rather, if it took the form of your body, with all its components  one  within  the  other  in  concentric  circles,  there  would  have  to  be printing-blocks in each circle, for each component, to the number of the combinations that they form.

Now, see,  if  you  claim this, which  involves a  hundred  impossibilities, to be possible, then again if they are not attributed to a single pen, for those well-ordered, artistic pieces of type, faultless printing-blocks and iron pens to be made, further pens, printing-blocks and letters  to the same number as themselves would be necessary. And they too would have to have been made; and they too would have to have been well-ordered and artistically fashioned. And so on. It would carry on in succession ad infinitum.

There,  you  too  understand!  This  way  of  thinking  is  such  that  it  involves impossibilites and superstitions to the number of particles in your body. O denier of God! See this, and quit the way of misguidance!

 

THE THIRD WAY

 

Nature   necessitates   it;  nature   makes   it.   This   statement   contains   many impossibilities. We shall mention three of them by way of examples.
