" people, this is a parable, listen to it. those whom you call upon, other than god , could never create a fly, though they banded together to do this. and if a fly robs them of anything, they could never rescue it from it. the seeker and the sought are alike in their weakness. (73)
I think he's saying that, while we may now create 'life' in a laboratory, we can never match the wonders of evolution (which he miscalls 'God') in that we cannot make even a fly. At least not yet.
And if we ever do, we had better not make it too big, in case it loads our worldly goods into our pickup and drives off with it.
Hello rifleman
first of all, let me say a thing that I like to say. I am happy your opinion get better about me. Previously you supposed I want mislead others and now I see your viewpoint is changed and you are interested we have more communication and it makes me glad because it is the sign of your logic and humanity. If sometime I choose a subject and send it to this website it is only for : one , (west-east) people hear a new thing that have never heard before. Two, all authors participate in such discussions. Quran is an unknown thing for west and east people and majority don't know what it has said. So I choose some of Quran verses and publish those till people learn what is it and what it has said and think about its words, means and intentions (I choose verses which are suitable for none Muslim persons. That verses which has talked generally or about creation)
As,AREQUIPA explained god is enlightening us, those who claim they are very mighty , aren't able do create an animate even a fly (without getting help of its essential cells or sperm )
What about us people who would rather kill flys (they ARE a nuisance) and therefore have no use for a god who has the power to create them? - IN FACT, we might be a little annoyed with that god for even possessing the ability to create those flys in the first place!
I'm afraid I can't worship the God of the Flies - or, the Lord of the Flies, I suppose.

Damaging and destroying is simple, creation is impossible ..... Also who has created a fly is same has created the galaxies ....
