Who is the creator

The stone Produced a Child
A modern Mulla Nasruddin lived in a colony of
Evolutionists. The Evolutionists did not believe in
God and used to say that this vast creation came into
being as a process of development into billions of
years. They used to make every possible effort to
imprint this 'idea' on every mind and soon many
people started to believe in their words. The
Evolutionists' reputation grew and many scientists
and historians, students and teachers, followed their
doctrine of 'gradual development'
from a lifeless universe to
mono-cellular organism, then
birds and animals, then chimpanzee
and then human being.
There was a widespread
fervor about this "new idea". But
Mullah Nasruddin caught no
'spark' of this popular knowledge.
He used to live in a lonely
cottage on the outskirts of the
Evolutionists' Colony and
passed his time praying and
supplicating God. Whenever
would he pass through streets,
the Evolutionists would mock at
him and say: "See, the sage of
non-sense!".
One fine morning, Mullah Nasruddin was
walking in the colony, knocking at every door and
distributing an invitation card. After some time, all
the Evolutionists were out in the street showing
wonder and amazement and buzzing with clamors,
talking to each other, laughing and pointing to the
invitation card which read as follows:
"Dear Sirs & Madams, you are all invited to a
supper at my cottage this evening on account of birth
of a child in my home".
All knew that Mullah Nasruddin was not married
and lived all alone. How come a child could be born
in his home? Yet, with a motive to make fun of him
and enjoy a humorous situation, they all gathered at
Mullah's house in the evening. The house was
decorated with flowers and delightful music was
filling melody in the environs.
When the guests were seated, Mullah came out
smiling, with a petty newborn in his arms which he
had 'borrowed' for a day from his friend in the nearby
town. All were amazed and asked: "But, Mullah!
You were never married". "Oh,
No!" Mullah giggled, "That's not
the case. Come, I�ll show you my
wife who gave me such a pretty
child". Curiously, all followed.
Mullah guided their steps to a
room in which a big stone pillar
lay stood in the middle. Mullah
had even put a beautiful gown on
that pillar to give it the look of a
lady. �This is my wife who gave
me this pretty child".
"Ha-ha-ha-ha� ha-ha-haha��
An uproarious laughter
burst out and when it stopped, an
Evolutionist said: "Mullah, we
already knew you are foolish but
now we think you are even mad.
You want us to believe that a
dead stone produced a living child who breaths and
sleeps, moves and feels?"
Now Mullah was serious and said : "But this is
what YOU have been telling me since long. If this
beautiful world, its orders and systems, perfections
and designs, intellect and emotions, dreams and
desires can come out 'gradually' and 'evolve' from a
lifeless object, without God, why my stone can't
produce a living child?"
