"Imagine you are on a planet. When you look at the planet, you may think that the planet has been the same forever. But if you go there and see a Nikon camera, you will have to hold it in your hand and say that it has a maker. When you look at a small plastic camera, you say that it has a maker. But the camera has many limitations. There is a person behind you. As soon as the camera focuses on the person behind you, you will become out of focus. And as soon as the camera focuses on you, the person behind you will become out of focus. But the human eye does not have this problem. The eye is much more powerful than the camera. There is a machine in our body, whose job is to keep the bodys sugar level stable. The entire human body is full of such diverse and complex machinery. I do not think that all these complex things happened in one day. What does "Darwins Theory" say? It says, survival of the fittest. It says, in order to survive on earth, humans will face various dangers, and we have become like this in order to overcome them. But the eyes of animals are yellow. And our eyes are white. This happened so that people could recognize themselves in the darkness. This knowledge was enough for us to survive. But how did this knowledge come to mans mind that he actually discovered the "Big Bang Theory"? Who gave this extraordinary knowledge to man? If you pay attention, you will see that the first house that man builds is a prayer room. It is the same for people of all nations. That means, from the very beginning, man was actually worried about one thing - Who is guiding me?"

"On rainy days, I remember the songs of my childhood, The rain falls heavily, The river floods; If I call you, Come hold my hand, Lets get wet in the rain today, Come sing a song with a kind gaze on the clouds, You wont come; I know, I know, Why do you call me for no reason, Why do I die of thirst? Dear, please come, lets get wet in the water, In the rain of the autumn night; How much love, how much loving togather, Tears were watery, how much laughter, Keeping eyes on eyes, painting with tears, in the night of Jasmine breeze; Even though you are close, How far away you are, I die of thirst, Lets get wet in the rain today."
