FLAWLESS SYSTEM OF GOD’S UNIVERSE

In June 1988, an Iran Air passenger plane took off from Tehran. It was passing over the Persian Gulf towards Dubai when an American military ship (USS Vincennes) shot it down and caused it to crash, causing the death of its 290 passengers and crew.

This was undoubtedly a terrible deed. Why do such events occur? A US naval officer explained the event as a result of a computer error. Their computer mistook the passenger plane for a military aircraft, so they attacked it.

That American naval ship probably had the most modern radars and computers available. This system could survey planes flying in the sky and specify on the radar screen whose planes they were: if they belonged to ‘friends’ or to ‘foes.’

When the Iran Air plane was flying in the heights of the sky, the ship’s computer, surveying the craft, recorded it on the radar screen as an F-14 jetfighter instead of what it was—an Airbus A 300 passenger plane. It was mistaken for an inimical military aircraft. Immediately after that, an officer on the ship pressed a button, and two missiles flew out, dispatching the plane and everyone on board to their deaths.

Modern atheists say that the universe is a machine. Why don’t such mechanical blunders occur if the universe is a machine? Why has such a vast universe, which contains billions of galaxies and stars, continuously functioned flawlessly for billions of years? The only reasonable explanation is that this is because the universe is managed by the Lord of the universe, who is flawless and can never make any mistake.
