The diversity of life is explained through the study of biological evolution. As for how it emerged, it is still unclear, but studies in the field of abiogenesis are proving more and more likely.
@lhvinny Sir Arthur Keith, Anatomist and physical anthropologist who specialised in the study of fossil man said in 1953 that evolution was unproved and unprovable and that we believed in it only because the only alternative was special creation and that was UNTHINKABLE.
The universe is not "flawlessly ordered." If it were, all studies of probability would be pointless and futile. Your question begins with a false premise.
Your question about the balance in the world is equally flawed. It may not be a "who" question at all, but may be a "what." From the studies of science, this balance is maintained through the physics of the world, which has naturalistic explanations and origins.
@lhvinny Humans, and all animal species, are incredibly engineered machines; thousands of times more complex and better engineered than any man made device on the planet. Not only do our electromechanical devices show design, but they are inventions, as there was absolutely no "prior art" models for nature to go by. We have servo-motors (muscles) that pull on rods (ligaments) that in turn move ball and socket joints (hip, mandible). etc etc
@Mr123javen I like your question and may Allah always make us of those who seek true knowledge to better understand our purpose of this life
Allah tells us in His Book that He is “As-Samad” (The eternally Besought of all). He is also the “Al-Awwal” (First) and the “Al-’Akhir” (Last) He is without beginning or end. This is how He always was and always is, and always will be!!!
@JohananRaatz all that is around you on earth: things, plants, insects, animals, birds and fish...
Don't you see that they have accurate systems governing and guiding their life?

Then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to you from all sides and when you think that you are encircled by them, you call upon God making your faith pure for Him alone saying :'If You deliver us from this we shall truly be grateful.' But when He delivers you, behold! you rebel in the earth wrongfully.
To the religious who visit this page, I present a challenge, that will prove your god doesn't exist.
Pray everyday for your god to NOT allow a child to die. Not one single child in the entire world, for one whole day, just ONE DAY! The results of this effort will either be: a) god doesn't exist
@socialgarbage2 if humanity was so kind and generous we could stop the unnecessary death of children, everyday millions of children die because of hunger etc we can stop this by obeying God every rich person should pay 2% of its saved wealth to the poor this would stop the death of millions of children, you see my friend God created us in truth, this life is not a game, you see children dying we will die soon as death is not the end its just the return to God our place we be hell or heaven
What about still-born children (you may call them natural 'abortions' if you wish).
Or children who die of terrible diseases like cancer and leukemia?
Or are born mentally and physically deformed for a life time?
Or whole families wiped out in natural disasters?
Even if your deity did exist, it's as if he's chosen to take a backseat - like the rich CEO who builds a football stadium and then sits in the luxury box watching the game play out.
@jazzx251 if God does not exist you don't need to ask that question but if Allah goes exist in what position are you to questions Him, you are smaller then an ant compare to God you are nothing compare to Allah, don't forget your creation, you were a sperm, then the sperm fertilized the egg and then you became the alaqa (flesh sacking blood) then He (Allah Almighty) portioned you and gave your soul how ungrateful are you to your creator!

To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.” (Quran 59:24)
@chizzy555 "And God has created every walking life out of water, of them that which crawls upon its belly, and of them is that which walks upon two feet, and of them that which walks upon four. God creates what He pleases. Surely God is Possessor of power over all things." 24:45
@chizzy555 God has sent many divine books to mankind the Bible, Torah and finally the Holy Quran, the Quran is the final revelation from God. the qoute is from the Quran
@enigmaticemptiness The Holy Qur'an declares that God has created all living beings out of water:
"Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the Earth were closed up, so We split them, and We made from water everything living? Will they not then believe?" 21:30
The universe isn't flawless, nor is it balanced. Equilibrium is relative; it constantly shifts and oscillates around a theoretical balance point. A look at ecology is all you need to see that balance is a liquid thing.
@leifey From the moment man opens his eyes to this world a great order surrounds him. He needs oxygen to survive; it is interesting that the atmosphere of the planet on which he lives provides more than just the adequate amount of oxygen he needs. This way, he breathes without difficulty. For the existence of life on this planet, the existence of a source of heat is essential. In response to this need, the sun is located at just the right distance
@leifey Man needs nourishment to survive; every corner of the world abounds in astonishingly diversified provisions. Likewise, man needs water; surprisingly, three-fourths of the planet is covered with water. Man needs shelter; in this world of ours, there is land on which it is suitable to build and all sorts of materials with which to make shelters.
@leifey These are only a few among billions of details making life possible on earth. In brief, man lives on a planet perfectly designed for his survival. This is certainly a planet “created for human beings”, as God said in the Quran:
“Do you not see that God has subjected for you all that is in the Heavens and all that is on the Earth, and has completed and perfected His Bounties upon you, [both] apparent and hidden?...” (Quran 31:20)
@purpose2life Diseases, plagues, killer droughts, earthquakes, volcanoes, tidal waves, potential space-born disasters, etc. all contradict your claim that this universe is perfectly designed for our survival. Seems to me like the opposite is true and that our survival comes only through perseverance and sheer force of will. If anything, life on earth has adapted to suit the environment, not vice versa.
@leifey Immediately after our birth, we have no conscious knowledge of ourselves or our surrounding environment. And yet we are not aliens, but rather beings who are fitted to survive here. For example, each person’s body is made up of the same elements that exist in nature. The building blocks making up Earth’s mineral, vegetable, and animal elements also constitute the sperm and the egg that, when joined, initiate our earthly life.
@leifey We can say only that it is a direct gift of the Creator. Thus we are children of nature and aware of ourselves as creatures made by the Creator. Such awareness makes us aware of the second aspect of our being: our heavenly aspect.
Typically, children are born into a welcoming environment and know the embrace of parents and a wider family of relatives. Moreover, they are immediately provided with the most perfect nourishment: a mother’s milk.
It is rare for even two or three people to agree on the truth of a matter. If the rich and powerful define truth, their truth will exclude or disadvantage the poor and vice versa. Truth cannot be decided by majority vote, for truth is truth regardless of how many people vote for it. Truth is—and can only be determined by—the Truth, another name for God, Who created humanity and the universe. Our task is to discover that truth and abide by it.
@leifey them but they cannot grasp any of His knowledge save what He wills. His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.” (Quran 2:255)
The only rational and intelligent answer is that there is NO real world evidence supporting ANY religion, God or divine creation. The belief in a God is normaly derrived from ignorance, fear, indotctrination and irrational thinking. Oh and science has answered all of your question. :)
@JAX301209 A person’s interpretation of the world rests on “acquired methods of thought.” That is, he thinks in the way he has been taught, or, less kindly, the way in which he is indoctrinated. Under this misguidance, he often dismisses all the aforementioned as “trivial realities.” However, if he does not side-step the matter, and start questioning the conditions making our existence possible
@purpose2life Yes exactly right people believe in such thing because of indotrination not because they came to an intelligent rational conclusion. Science can and does explain all your qusetions so I cant see why anyone needs to think its the work of a God. Replacing scientific fact with a belief that a magical entity created everthing doesnt sound very logical. I was once a Creationist but then I grew to understand that science is factual info based on realworld evidence & not just blind faith.
According to Islam and its view of science, God has always existed. He is eternal and self-existent. He created everything and set the universe in order. The earth and universe were created by God through a long step-by-step process,“The Qur’anic witness further testifies that God created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six ‘periods,’ and no weariness touched him (Qur’an 50:38)
@JAX301209 So you need never plead ignorance that all living beings, living or non-living, show the existence and greatness of God, look at the things around you. Strive to show appreciation in the best manner for the eternal greatness of God. For the existence of God is obvious, and ignoring it would only be the beginning of the greatest damage we could ever do to ourselves. That is simply because God is in no need of anything.
@JAX301209 He is the One Who shows His greatness in all things and in all ways.
God is the owner of everything, from the heavens to the earth. We learn the attributes of God from the Quran:
“God! There is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sufficient. He is not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them ...
