The speech is unaltered. --- The richest man in the world, Elon Musk. He was asked if you believed in a creator and Elon Musk, who had previously described himself as agnostic. He replied: Well, something created the universe or the universe is you know here. How did it come to be? Well, we can say step by step, based on the archeological evidence, the fossil record. And we know physics how we came to be at this point. But that doesn't explain how the universe came to exist in the first place. Like, how do molecules have consciousness and feelings? Apparently he was a little confused to discover that there was a consciousness. The existence of consciousness proves that there's something beyond matter what we call metaphysics. This term, metaphysics is something that both atheists and agnostics do not want to admit. When they accept metaphysics, they open the door to accepting many things that they deny. According to them, if they prove that there's nothing abstract or nothing metaphysical, that they can explain everything with the matter, it will be as if God does not exist. But as the existence of abstract things is revealed, the idea of the existence of God becomes more clear, more reasonable. That's why they don't want to accept such things. In other words, if Elon Musk accepts the existence of consciousness, he has to accept a creator. And this makes him a theist, even if it is not directly making him a muslim, he becomes theist. His second important statement is this. Some how wait for a bunch of hydrogen gas to complex molecules, and then an assemblage of complex molecules like ourselves that can feel and talk and and think. So I mean, just if you leave hydrogen out long enough, it starts talking to itself. Basically, it's what happened here. So. So where along that path from a bunch of hydrogen molecules to humans, where did consciousness start? In short, he says, "How do molecules from unconscious atoms come together and form conscious beings like us?" "When did this happen from the moment human history began?" "When was this consciousness given to us?" We have two scenarios for the beginning of the existence. The first one, a creator who is beyond matter with infinite power created the universe and us from nothing. The second scenario, the one behind the creation of all matter, is again matter. While the universe and we didn't exist, the matter created the universe and us. But wait a minute. The matter didn't exist as well. How did matter create the universe from nothing, when it didn't even exist. It didn't exist either, right? No, existence cannot come out of non-existence as this defies logic completely. For this to happen, and omnipotent and eternal being would have to bring non-existence to existence. If an eternal and omnipotent creator isn't involved, there would always be non-existence. May Allah bestow. Elon Musk's faith. But I noticed a problem about Muslims. We have an inferiority complex that we even don't realize. For some reason whether Elon Musk is a muslim or not can create perceptions as if Islam will be more precious or it will strengthen our faith as Muslims Brothers The power we generate for our faith is not from artists, is not from actors. Who cares if Elon Musk was a muslim or not? We are already born to Islam for many reasons; The miracles of the Quran, the pieces of evidence of God's existence. Look, there are evidences everywhere that shout out the existence of God. My faith doesn't need a boost arising from his acceptance of Islam. I'm not interested in somebody walking down the street, lighting a candle while the sun is up there. Or vice versa, If he does not submit or says something against Islam, it will not lessen me. I didn't hold on to my religion because of him. For example, there used to be such things as "Mel Gibson converted to Islam. Mashallah, brothers, Mashallah. Islam is growing." There was made up news everywhere, later you look them up, It wasn't true. And then... Disappointment. Who cares about Mel Gibson? I don't hold onto my faith because of him. We as Muslims, we are not common people. Common people accept the words of a professor without questioning. While he doesn't even listen to what a grocer says. Even if it's true. However, people who are searching for truth, whether it's the grocer or an uneducated cleaner, if what is said is true, they will accept it. We should care about our own faiths. Our own iman. Such incidents can give us joy. Okay, but it's not important. May Allah bestow Elon Musk's faith. His life will end before he finds the formula to live in space. even though he finds the formula to live in space, Scientifically, we know that there is an end of this world and space. Lastly, as there is consciousness... A creator... why would that consciousness destroy us after we die? If death means absence, nothing... why is there this much existence everywhere? By the way If Elon Musk watches this video, I advise him to explore space and also explore beyond the space. The heavens... Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah
