This spirited work commemorates the opening of the EYE Film Institute in Amsterdam in spring 2012. Found Footage, the first exhibition in the new building, takes as its theme the museum`s vast and valuable collection and shows how filmmakers and artists repurpose recent and historical footage to create new works: older narrative structures are unraveled to create new stories, images are recontextualized to produce new meaning, and different edits of the film footage are used to highlight new political or emotional significances. A beautifully illustrated and constructed volume, Found Footage reveals the power of film to be reused and recycled to create endless new pieces of art.

Ensuring Safety In Factories
Factories are manufacturing units that contain large amounts of raw material, expensive machinery and finished goods. Thus a factory is a highly valued property and any kind of accident or intentional damage can cause substantial financial losses for its owners. A very common incidence in factories is theft of raw materials. Despite knowing the facts, property owners are helpless because it is difficult to man these extensive production units. Reliable surveillance cameras with exceptional features and non-stop performance can help maintain order in factories.
The Need for Surveillance Cameras in Factories
Prevention of Theft – The raw materials stocked in factories and manufacturing units are worth millions of dollars, and some amount of theft is inevitable. Most of the time these thefts are carried out cleverly by the employees, and it is not so easy to detect the culprits. Surveillance cameras are digital cameras that can help monitor the activities around the vicinity and more easily identify the culprits.
Employee Safety – Factories have heavy machinery, and the humans operating it can be subject to accidents. Surveillance cameras immediately alert you of an accident so prompt action can be taken.
Quality and Production Level – Unfortunately there are those employees who waste their time lazing around, causing declines in production levels. Surveillance cameras can assist in keeping an eye on these truant employees.
What Kind of Surveillance Cameras Do You Need?
High-tech surveillance cameras can be monitored from a remote location through the internet. These are called Power over Ethernet cameras, or internet cameras. The internet camera is a versatile piece of equipment that can be used in any location with pan, zoom and tilt capabilities. They can be mounted on ceilings and walls easily with no installation hassles.
The internet camera produces high resolution images and video, giving you clear footage of activities. Due to extreme competition, factories must keep their units and employees under guarded watch. The internet camera can serve to ensure that your employees are not resorting to any unethical tactics or neglecting their duties.
The PoE camera has been specially designed for monitoring large premises where it is not possible for security guards to cover everything. The PoE camera can deliver images on the spot wherever you are located with no time wasted. The built-in illuminators fitted into these cameras can provide you with clear images of areas that are inadequately illuminated.
The safety of your employees is one of the most important concerns. The internet camera installed near dangerous machines can help you maintain a safe working environment. Digital security cameras can manage the operations of 32 cameras simultaneously. The camera can send email notifications, set up recording schedules and initiate the motion detection system for direct recording onto the hard drive.
Security cameras are a must in factories and manufacturing units. The cameras not only help keep theft in check, but also help prevent severe accidents. With the help of security cameras, both owners and employees can enjoy a healthy working atmosphere. With security cameras there is no escaping the truth nor is there any provision for negligence.

9 Things To Expect When Deep Sea Fishing
The wind in your hair, the spray of salt water over the bow, the anticipation of a monstrous tug at the end of your tackle, the thought of catching something that would take more than 5 people to carry, that image of showing a picture of you and a fish with a body length longer than yours. Nausea?....Hopefully not. Here are 9 other things you might expect on your deep sea fishing trip.
1. Nothing shallow. As the word deep means, you will be setting off on a boat to deeper waters that are more than 30 meters deep. This will definitely bring you a certain distance away from dry land so make sure you have everything you need with you.
2. Expect that your fishing expedition will be dependent on weather conditions; wind that adversely affects the waters wave strength plays a great role in navigation. Your skipper will tell you more about this as deep sea fishing is inherently dangerous. But given the right precautionary measures, risks are minimized. If your trip is cancelled due to these reasons, no need to feel blue, fishing charters can immediately set your trip to another date and time so you can wet your line and enjoy it safely.
3. Deep sea boats are much bigger than the ones used for inshore fishing. They are made of sturdier quality to be able to withstand the elements of the open sea such as strong winds and waves. They are also made larger to accommodate those hundred pound monsters you that your tackle will hook.
4. Deep sea fishing is more physical than inshore fishing. If you are accustomed to sitting on your buttocks with one hand on the pole and the other with a can of beer, think again. Deep sea fishing will take more than all hands on deck. When you hook that first catch, it will be more than a jerk you can handle with one hand. The fish are bigger and swim stronger than inshore fish.
5. Different set of rods. Deep sea fishing utilizes the same equipment only with different specs. The tackle is more tolerant to sea water as salt tends to cause corrosion faster compared to normal inshore or freshwater equipment. Lines are made more durable to withstand game weight and pull. Multiplier reels also take place of the conventional reel to eradicate friction. The different gears let you have a more stable and stronger hold of your line as you reel your 100 pounder out of the water and on to your boat.
6. Run INS. Expect to meet more than your average pond frogs, or local lake creatures. You are in the open sea! Where you may get the chance to see the good, the bad and the ugly of the deep blue sea. Dolphins, manatees, puffer fish, and yes sharks! No need to feel anxious about this possible run in, fishing charters and your skipper are very knowledgeable of deep sea fishing spots and will ensure absolutely safe.
7. Expect action. Deep sea fishing is action packed. Strong gusts of winds and waves will make sure you get your adrenalin pumping, and you take it a notch higher as you hook your first catch. Expect of course that you will get wet and sweaty as you tirelessly reel in your fishing trophy for the day.
8. You will be expertly guided and coached throughout your adventure by experienced individuals who have the endeavor for the sport. Deep sea fishing is a totally relaxing sport and with the best fishing buddies on board, you wouldn't need to worry at all.
9. Expect amazing feats of visual satisfaction. Be ready to capture them on camera as you will be flanked by a number of memorable experiences on your trip. The beauty of the open sea, the rich and abundant marine wildlife and of course that moment when you bag the first catch of the day.
Deep sea fishing is a total experience for lovers of the sport. There is so much to see and experience in this adventure. This activity will totally take your mind off the inertia of life in the city. More than that, it also lets you add more to your personal achievements.

Locating The Perfect Deep Sea Fishing Charter For You - Must Know Things Regarding It
There are plenty of things to consider when choosing a deep sea charter for salmon fishing. You don't only have to look for one that's professional and reputable, but you also have to choose one that can meet ones own needs. Thus, before you go out to sea, you have to choose what it really is that you want from the trip.
What Kind Of Experience?
Your main concern should be to decide on the sort of experience that you want to have. Is it wreck and reef fishing that you want? How about inshore fishing? Probably you are interested in getting a charter which specializes on targeting specific kinds of species, like salmon, tarpon, etc.? Factors like these would definitely depend on what place in the planet you will be fishing in. For example, if you will be fishing from the Gulf of Mexico, you would have different options than if you will be looking for a deep sea charter in Oregon.
What Kind Of Level?
Second, you need to choose the level which you want to fish in. There's a huge difference between charters catering to newbie fishermen compared to those created for experienced ones. Nevertheless, the great thing about charter boats being in abundance is that they have one for any kind of level. Some specialize on catering to novices and families, when others focus on bringing more experienced anglers off to sea. A lot of charter services can actually offer you several options. Probably, charter yacht captains would offer trolling options, that is specifically for novice anglers, families, and even kids. For instance, lots of charter yacht located in Southern Florida can take their patrons trolling throughout spring and fall months, in which they are given the opportunity to have 6 hours hunting some red-fish, dolphin, and so on. However, high speed trolling might be a great choice if you're an experienced person that lack some of the equipments to have your very own expedition. This is best done around summertime, that is when conditions are best set to catch bigger game fish, like bull dolphin, sailfish as well as Yahoo.
Ask!
Probably the best advice when looking for a charter would be directly asking the captain exactly what it is that they offer, and may offer. They are able to offer you salmon fishing tips you will not find anywhere else. You certainly don't wish to be wasting money and time on an adventure that is not really tailored for your requirements. A lot of charter services are actually beforehand regarding the different choices of service that they may offer. Thus, you have the ability to determine what type of charter would be the best for you!
Money Matters
After choosing the kind of salmon fishing vacation experience you'd want, now it is time for you to settle on how much you're willing to pay for the trip. In general, smaller boats that have the capacity of 2-4 individuals have an average price of $200-$400. If you wish to get a bigger boat for a whole day trip, prices generally stay around $900 to $1200. Additionally, factors like the charter service reputation play a role on how much it will cost.
Playing It Safe
Although most charters are lead by quality, experienced individuals, there are several occasional shady characters that might try to sell their services to you. If this is the situation, you should try checking their reputation by requesting people around the area and having some suggestions from the locals.
Galveston Deep Sea Fishing - How to Have the Best Deep Sea Fishing Trip in Galveston Texas
Galveston Island is located on the Gulf of Mexico in Texas, USA. It has an approximate population of 60,000. The city is very popular for all kinds of fishing adventures especially deep sea fishing which is the most expensive.
Deep sea fishing attracts people from all walks of life to the city of Galveston. Fishing trips are organized through out the week. These trips are expected to be very exciting. That means a peaceful expedition with good fishing. There are some adequate preparations that need to be made by those going on the trip to achieve this goal.
First of all, determine what type of boat is needed for the trip. There are many types of fishing boat that go deep sea fishing. The size of the boat will determine the distance to go. The farther the boat goes the better the chances of catching all kinds of fish which are not heavily restricted by the State of Texas. Go for the boat that goes about 100 miles to sea.
Another important area to consider is the fishing route. These boats have special fishing routes. Ask the guide about the routes. They can tell you what kind of fish to expect on the routes. That will determine which boat to prefer. Boats that stop by oil rigs in the water and shrimp boats create better chances for good fishing. Oil rig or platform is a large structure used to house workers and machinery needed to drill wells in the ocean bed. The shade under the platform attracts a lot of fish and this is a great spot for fishing boats. Shrimp boats usually stay at sea for days. They fish at night and rest at daytime. All kinds of fish like wahoo, tuna, sail fish, king fish and sharks gather around the boat to feed on shrimp waste poured into the sea. That makes it an excellent target for fishing. However, good fishing will depend on the weather. Fishing is done through out the year but a gloomy weather can determine where the boat goes and how far it goes.
Time is factor here. Be on time. Most of these boats live the port of Galveston between 5am-6am. They are not ready to wait for any late comer. They have to be at their target at the exact time. If you are not able to get to Galveston before the departure time, then try to get there a day or two earlier.
Look forward to having a peaceful fishing adventure. That means no arguments and confusion.
You might be joining an unknown group or you might be going with your group. It is much easier going with your group, but if you do not go with your group, then make it a habit to be nice to everybody on board.
The fishing team needs to be very nice to the fishing guide. Share food and drinks (not alcohol) with them.
They could extend the fishing time like they usually do to friendly groups.
Be careful of seasickness. This can ruin the adventure trip. There are many over the counter and prescription medicines or other methods meant to counter seasickness. Some of them are Dramamine, Bonine and Antivert. Some have side effects. Do seek advice from medical expects before using some of them. Ginger is considered the best natural remedy to sea sickness. Ginger capsules and real ginger root are believed to dissolve into the bloodstream very fast.Raw ginger is very common in many stores in Galveston. Other ginger product like ginger tea and ginger sweet could be of help but the most reliable is the hot ginger root.
The area that creates confusion after the days' catch is the "biggest fish rule" Most deep sea fishing boats tend to keep the biggest catch without informing the fishing crew. Kindly ask the guide what fish they intend to keep and let all the fishermen be pleased with the outcome. This will ensure a very smooth ride back.
Finally, you can ask the captain a favor. Find out if he could let you steer the boat for a few minutes.
Most captains allow their fishing crew to practice under their surveillance. Remember to have a camera to record this.
This information will enable people interested in deep sea fishing in Galveston Texas to have the best time at sea.

How did he have union with her whist keeping her a virgin & how did she conceive the brothers & sisters of Jesus ?
She had a normal marriage with Joseph. The Bible mentions Jesus had four half-brothers and at least two half-sisters. She conceived the good old-fashioned way, sexual intercourse.

Keep Your Heart with all Diligence
If you are like me you were always a little fearful that you were perhaps not normal. That is to say you have struggled being the person you ought to be and like Eve have desired the forbidden fruit and the thought has come to your mind that that is not normal, not normal for those who want to do what is right. We get to the point where we question our heart. Maybe we just have a bad heart so to speak. Maybe we are just a little more depraved than others. Since it is not possible to look inside another individual and see what they are within (“For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?” 1 Cor. 2:11 NKJV) we doubt ourselves.
As I have grown older in life I have finally come to believe we are all pretty much in the same boat. “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” (Gal. 5:17 NKJV) I think the TEV translation of the last phrase of this verse nails the meaning where it says, “this means that you cannot do what you want to do.” I guess that means I am not the only one. You must be there with me.
Yes, life is a struggle to do what is right. Perhaps this is why I get upset with Christians of a liberal bent. Their idea comes across to me as being as though they were saying “you go ahead and struggle I am depending on God’s grace” which translated means I will pretty much do in my life what I want and let God’s grace cover me in the end. We are suppose to “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Tim. 6:12) and have been given a sword (the word of God – Eph. 6:17) and a shield (faith – Eph. 6:16). Where is the fight in liberal Christianity (a misnomer)? Paul said he had “fought the good fight.” (2 Tim. 4:7 NKJV) It is a cop out to live as you want, not being overly concerned about doing the wrong (sin), feeling that grace will take care of it all. It is a bad attitude toward God. But, I digress.
In the book of Proverbs, chapter 23 verse 7, we read of a man, “as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (NKJV) Make no mistake about it – our struggle is with our hearts within. “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man.” (Matt. 15:19-20 NKJV) Take special care here to notice that the first sin Jesus lists is “evil thoughts.” Paul says we are to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” (2 cor. 10:5 NKJV)
We are even given directions as to what to think about. “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.” (Philippians 4:8 NKJV)
No wonder Solomon wrote, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” (Prov. 4:23 NKJV) The TEV translates this in a way that makes it even clearer, “Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” How true it is. How many times in our life have we heard the words, “if you think you can you can?” Everything we do in life begins with a tiny thought that grows and matures. A seed is sown in our heart by something we have seen, or heard, or read, or experienced, and a thought begins to take shape as we begin the thought process. That eventually leads to action. I do not know of anything we do where there has not first been the thought that then led us to act. Yes, we sometimes act instinctively but I think the reader realizes I am not talking about those kinds of things.
We say, myself included, it is so hard to control our thoughts and yes I think it is but God would not give a command if we could not do it, do it at least to a major degree. The thought comes to mind from the book of James (James 3:1-10) where we are instructed to control our tongue but it is also said that no man can tame it. I believe James is telling us we are commanded to give it our very best shot. The same may be true with our thoughts. Indeed, what is a temptation if it is not an evil thought? It is hard to see how one can be tempted without some thinking entering into the picture.
What is the difference between an evil thought and a temptation? James says, “each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” (James 1:14-15 NKJV) Paul, like James, in 1 Cor. 10:13 teaches that temptation itself is not a sin. “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” (NKJV) Please note that Paul says temptation is “common to man.” That means, of course, that you and I are not the Lone Ranger when it comes to be tempted by evil.
Temptation while not a sin can lead to sin. On the other hand evil thoughts are sinful in themselves (Matt. 15:19-20). The difference seems to be what we do with the negative or evil thought that enters our mind (heart). If it is transient it would seem to fall into the category of being only a temptation. If it remains in the heart and we mull it around in our minds and do not let go of it but entertain it finding some satisfaction in doing so then it would seem to pass into the realm of sinful thought. At least that is the only explanation I can see. You will have to decide for yourself.
Perhaps a few Bible examples would help us out. I was recently reading of the account of Achan’s sin in Joshua 7:20-21. The Bible says, “And Achan answered Joshua and said, ‘Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I have done: When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them.” We are aware of temptation when it occurs. Achan knew he was being tempted but rather than immediately running away from the temptation what did he do? He entertained the thought in his heart, gave it thought as to taking the items, and ended up doing so.
David and Bathsheba is another example. David’s problem when he saw the naked Bathsheba, not being guilty of seeking out the opportunity, was that he began to think about it in his heart. He was not keeping his heart with all diligence nor did Achan. One who did keep his heart and reacted properly was Joseph. Joseph like David was tempted to engage in sexual sin. We find the account in Gen. 39. His master’s wife was after Joseph day after day to lie with her as Gen. 39:7,10 puts it. Joseph, however, unlike David, did not entertain the thought in his heart.
One who kept his heart with all diligence as did Joseph was Daniel. The Bible says of Daniel in Daniel 1:8, “Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies … .” (NKJV) Later it is said to Daniel, by one whom I believe to have been Christ in a vision, “O Daniel, man greatly beloved … Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard.” (Dan. 10:11-12 NKJV) A man has some control over his heart. We are not forced to be what our fleshly nature leads us to be.
How a man reacts to a situation where he is tempted depends on how he has prepared his heart. David was at heart a good man but he let his guard down. One must use all diligence in keeping his heart where it ought to be. This does not come naturally. Sin, other than sins of ignorance, originates in the heart. Of the Jews who came out of Egypt with Moses God said, “They always go astray in their heart.” (Heb. 3:10 NKJV)
I use to hear it said that heaven was a prepared place for a prepared people. I believe that is true. Our preparation must begin within. We must gain control of our thoughts which is just another way of saying we must gain control of our hearts for as a man thinketh in his heart so is he (Prov. 23:7). Gaining that control begins with first a desire to do so. It then takes self discipline. We need to give it our best effort making heaven our treasure for “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Luke 12:34 NKJV) Our heart determines not only how our life here on earth will be lived and where we will be led (led by it) but also how our life in eternity will be lived and where. Keep your heart with all diligence is the best advice you or I will ever be given.

From Non-being to Being
The questions of how the universe originated, where it leads to, and how the laws maintaining its order and balance work have always been topics of interest. Scientists and thinkers have thought about this subject endlessly and have produced quite a few theories.
The prevailing thought until the early 20th century was that the universe had infinite dimensions, that it had existed since eternity, and that it would continue to exist forever. According to this view, called the ‘static universe model’, the universe had neither a beginning nor an end.
Laying the groundwork for the materialist philosophy, this view denied the existence of a Creator while it maintained that the universe is a constant, stable, and unchanging collection of matter.
Materialism is a system of thought that holds matter to be an absolute being and denies the existence of anything but matter. Having its roots in ancient Greece and gaining ever-increasing acceptance in the 19th century, this system of thought became famous in the shape of the dialectical materialism of Karl Marx.
As we have stated earlier, the static universe model of the 19th century prepared the grounds for the materialist philosophy. In his book Principes Fondamentaux de Philosophie, George Politzer stated concerning the basis of this universe model that "the universe was not a created object", and added:
If it were, then it would have to be created instantaneously by God and brought into existence from nothing. To admit creation, one has to admit, in the first place, the existence of a moment when the universe did not exist, and that something came out of nothingness. This is something to which science cannot accede.(1)
When Politzer asserted that the universe was not created out of nothingness, he was relying on the static universe model of the 19th century, and thinking that he was posing a scientific claim. However, the 20th century’s developing science and technology demolished primitive concepts such as the static universe model that laid the grounds for the materialists. Today, on the brink of the 21st century, modern physics has proved with many experiments, observations and calculations that the universe had a beginning and that it was created out of nothing with a big explosion.
That the universe had a beginning means that the cosmos was brought into being out of nothing, that is, that it was created. If a created thing exists (which did not exist beforehand), then it certainly should have a Creator. Being from non-being is something inconceivable by the human mind. (Man cannot practically conceive it since he has no chance of experiencing it.) Therefore, being from non-being is very different from bringing objects together to form a new object (such as works of art or technological inventions). It is a sign of Allah’s creation alone that everything formed perfectly all at once and in a single moment, when the created things had no previous examples and not even time and space existed in which to create them.
The coming of the universe into being from non-being is the greatest proof possible that it has been created. Consideration of this fact will change a lot of things. It helps people understand the meaning of life and review their attitudes and purposes. This is why many scientific communities have tried to disregard the fact of creation which they could not fully comprehend, even though its evidence was clear to them. The fact that all scientific evidence points to the existence of a Creator has compelled them to invent alternatives to create confusion in the minds of people. Nevertheless, the evidence of science itself puts a definite end to these theories.
Now, let us take a brief look at the scientific developmental process through which the universe came about.
THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE
In 1929, in the California Mount Wilson observatory, an American astronomer by the name of Edwin Hubble made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of astronomy. While he observed the stars with a giant telescope, he found out that the light from them was shifted to the red end of the spectrum and that this shift was more pronounced the further a star was from the earth. This discovery had an electrifying effect in the world of science, because according to the recognized rules of physics, the spectra of light beams travelling towards the point of observation tend towards violet while the spectra of the light beams moving away from the point of observation tend towards red. During Hubble’s observations, the light from stars was discovered to tend towards red. This meant that they were constantly moving away from us.
Before long, Hubble made another very important discovery: Stars and galaxies moved away not only from us, but also from one another. The only conclusion that could be derived from a universe where everything moves away from everything else is that the universe constantly ‘expands’.
To better understand, the universe can be thought of as the surface of a balloon being blown up. Just as the points on the surface of a balloon move apart from each other as the balloon is inflated, so do the objects in space move apart from each other as the universe keeps expanding.
In fact, this had been theoretically discovered even earlier. Albert Einstein, who is considered the greatest scientist of the century, had concluded after the calculations he made in theoretical physics that the universe could not be static. However, he had laid his discovery to rest simply not to conflict with the widely recognized static universe model of his time. Later on, Einstein was to identify his act as ‘the greatest mistake of his career’. Subsequently, it became definite by Hubble’s observations that the universe expands.
Here, the difference in the remoteness of various galaxies and the extent to which they tend towards red are shown. The vertical line at the top indicates a certain point on the spectrum. In other spectra, this point tends towards the right as far as the horizontal arrows go. The tendency towards red, which is an indication of remoteness, increases as a galaxy moves farther away from the earth.
What importance, then, did the fact that the universe expands have on the existence of the universe?
The expansion of the universe implied that if it could travel backwards in time, the universe would prove to have originated from a single point. The calculations showed that this ‘single point’ that harbored all the matter of the universe should have ‘zero volume’ and ‘infinite density’. The universe had come about by the explosion of this single point with zero volume. This great explosion that marked the beginning of the universe was named the ‘Big Bang’ and the theory started to be so called.
It has to be stated that ‘zero volume’ is a theoretical expression used for descriptive purposes. Science can define the concept of ‘nothingness’, which is beyond the limits of human comprehension, only by expressing it as ‘a point with zero volume’. In truth, ‘a point with no volume’ means ‘nothingness’. The universe has come into being from nothingness. In other words, it was created.
The Big Bang theory showed that in the beginning all the objects in the universe were of one piece and then were parted. This fact, which was revealed by the Big Bang theory was stated in the Qur’an 14 centuries ago, when people had a very limited knowledge about the universe:
Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (Surat al-Anbiya, 30)
As stated in the verse, everything, even the ‘heavens and the earth’ that were not yet created, were created with a Big Bang out of a single point, and shaped the present universe by being parted from each other.
When we compare the statements in the verse with the Big Bang theory, we see that they fully agree with each other. However, the Big Bang was introduced as a scientific theory only in the 20th century.
The expansion of the universe is one of the most important pieces of evidence that the universe was created out of nothing. Although this fact was not discovered by science until the 20th century, Allah has informed us of this reality in the Qur’an revealed 1,400 years ago: It is We who have built the universe with (Our creative) power, and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it. (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 47)
THE SEARCH FOR ALTERNATIVES TO THE BIG BANG THEORY
As clearly seen, the Big Bang theory proved that the universe was ‘created from nothing’, in other words, that it was created by Allah. For this reason, astronomers committed to the materialist philosophy continued to resist the Big Bang and uphold the steady-state theory. The reason for this effort was revealed in the following words of A. S. Eddington, one of the foremost materialist physicists:
‘Philosophically, the notion of an abrupt beginning to the present order of Nature is repugnant to me.’(2)
Sir Fred Hoyle was one of those who were disturbed by the Big Bang theory. In the middle of the century, Hoyle championed a theory called the steady-state which was similar to the ‘constant universe’ approach of the 19th century. The steady-state theory argued that the universe was both infinite in size and eternal in duration. With the sole visible aim of supporting the materialist philosophy, this theory was totally at variance with the ‘Big Bang’ theory, which held that the universe had a beginning.
Those who defended the steady-state theory opposed the Big Bang for a long time. Science, however, was working against them.
Some scientists, on the other hand, looked for ways to develop alternatives.
In 1948, George Gamov came up with another idea concerning the Big Bang. He stated that after the formation of the universe by a big explosion, a radiation surplus should have existed in the universe left over from this explosion. Moreover, this radiation ought to be uniformly diffused across the universe.
This evidence which ‘ought to have existed’ was soon to be found.
MORE EVIDENCE: COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION
In 1965, two researchers by the name of Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered these waves by chance. This radiation, called the ‘cosmic background radiation’, did not seem to radiate from a particular source but rather pervaded the whole of space. Thus, it was understood that the heat waves that were radiated uniformly from all around space were left over from the initial stages of the Big Bang. Penzias and Wilson were awarded a Nobel Prize for their discovery.
In 1989, NASA sent the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite into space to do research on cosmic background radiation. It took only eight minutes for the sensitive scanners on this satellite to confirm the measurements of Penzias and Wilson. The COBE had found the remains of the big explosion that had taken place at the outset of the universe.
Defined as the greatest astronomic discovery of all times, this finding explicitly proved the Big Bang theory. The findings of the COBE 2 satellite which was sent into space after the COBE satellite also confirmed the calculations based on the Big Bang.
Another important piece of evidence for the Big Bang was the amount of hydrogen and helium in space. In the latest calculations, it was understood that the hydrogen-helium concentration in the universe complied with the theoretical calculations of the hydrogen-helium concentration remaining from the Big Bang. If the universe had no beginning and if it had existed since eternity, its hydrogen constituent should have been completely consumed and converted to helium.
All of this compelling evidence caused the Big Bang theory to be embraced by the scientific community. The Big Bang model was the latest point reached by science concerning the formation and beginning of the universe.
Defending the steady-state theory alongside Fred Hoyle for years, Dennis Sciama described the final position they had reached after all the evidence for the Big Bang theory was revealed. Sciama stated that he had taken part in the heated debate between the defenders of the steady-state theory and those who tested that theory with the hope of refuting it. He added that he had defended the steady-state theory, not because he deemed it valid, but because he wished that it were valid. Fred Hoyle stood out against all objections as evidence against this theory began to unfold. Sciama goes on to say that he had first taken a stand along with Hoyle but, as evidence began to pile up, he had to admit that the game was over and that the steady-state theory had to be dismissed.(3)
Prof. George Abel from the University of California also states that currently available evidence shows that the universe originated billions of years ago with the Big Bang. He concedes that he has no choice but to accept the Big Bang theory.
With the Big Bang’s victory, the concept of ‘eternal matter’ that constituted the basis of the materialist philosophy is thrown into the trash-heap of history. What, then, was before the Big Bang and what was the power that brought the universe into ‘being’ with this big explosion when it was ‘non-existent’? This question certainly implies, in Arthur Eddington’s words, the ‘philosophically unfavorable’ fact for the materialists, that is, the existence of a Creator. The renowned atheist philosopher Antony Flew comments on the issue:
Notoriously, confession is good for the soul. I will therefore begin by confessing that the Stratonician atheist has to be embarrassed by the contemporary cosmological consensus. For it seems that the cosmologists are providing a scientific proof of what St. Thomas contended could not be proved philosophically; namely, that the universe had a beginning. So long as the universe can be comfortably thought of as being not only without end but also without beginning, it remains easy to urge that its brute existence, and whatever are found to be its most fundamental features, should be accepted as the explanatory ultimates. Although I believe that it remains still correct, it certainly is neither easy nor comfortable to maintain this position in the face of the Big Bang story.(4)
Many scientists who do not blindly condition themselves to be atheists have admitted the role of an almighty Creator in the creation of the universe. This Creator must be a being Who has created both matter and time, yet Who is independent of both. Well-known astrophysicist Hugh Ross has this to say:
If time’s beginning is concurrent with the beginning of the universe, as the space-theorem says, then the cause of the universe must be some entity operating in a time dimension completely independent of and preexistent to the time dimension of the cosmos. This conclusion is powerfully important to our understanding of who God is and who or what God isn’t. It tells us that God is not the universe itself, nor is God contained within the universe.(5)
Matter and time are created by the almighty Creator Who is independent of all these notions. This Creator is Allah, Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth.
DELICATE BALANCES IN SPACE
In truth, the Big Bang caused much greater trouble for the materialists than the above confessions of the atheist philosopher, Antony Flew. For the Big Bang not only proves that the universe was created out of nothing, but also that it was brought into being in a very planned, systematic and controlled manner.
The Big Bang took place with the explosion of the point which contained all the matter and energy of the universe and its dispersion into space in all ections with a terrifying speed. Out of this matter and energy, there came about a great balance containing galaxies, stars, the sun, the earth and all other heavenly bodies. Moreover, laws were formed called the ‘laws of physics’, which are uniform throughout the whole universe and do not change. All these indicate that a perfect order arose after the Big Bang.
Explosions, however, do not bring about order. All of the observable explosions tend to harm, disintegrate, and destroy what is present. For example, the atom and hydrogen bomb explosions, fire-damp explosions, volcanic explosions, natural gas explosions, solar explosions: they all have destructive effects.
If we were to be introduced to a very detailed order after an explosion - for instance, if an explosion under the ground gave rise to perfect works of art, huge palaces, or imposing houses - we might conclude that there was a ‘supernatural’ intervention behind this explosion and that all the pieces dispersed by the explosion had been made to move in a very controlled way.
The quote from Sir Fred Hoyle, who accepted his mistake after many years of opposition to the Big Bang Theory, expresses this situation very well:
The big bang theory holds that the universe began with a single explosion. Yet as can be seen below, an explosion merely throws matter apart, while the big bang has mysteriously produced the opposite effect - with matter clumping together in the form of galaxies.(6)
While stating that the Big Bang’s giving way to order is contradictory, he surely interprets the Big Bang with a materialistic bias and assumes that this was an ‘uncontrolled explosion’. He, however, was in reality the one who became self-contradictory by making such a statement simply to dismiss the existence of a Creator. For if a great order arose with an explosion, then the concept of an ‘uncontrolled explosion’ should have been set aside and it should be accepted that the explosion was extraordinarily controlled.
Another aspect of this extraordinary order formed in the universe following the Big Bang is the creation of a ‘habitable universe’. The conditions for the formation of a habitable planet are so many and so complex that it is almost impossible to think that this formation is coincidental.
Paul Davies, a renowned professor of theoretical physics, calculated how ‘fine tuned’ the pace of expansion after the Big Bang was, and he reached an incredible conclusion. According to Davies, if the rate of expansion after the Big Bang had been different even by the ratio of one over a billion times a billion, no habitable star type would have been formed:
Careful measurement puts the rate of expansion very close to a critical value at which the universe will just escape its own gravity and expand forever. A little slower and the cosmos would collapse, a little faster and the cosmic material would have long ago completely dispersed. It is interesting to ask precisely how delicately the rate of expansion has been ‘fine-tuned’ to fall on this narrow dividing line between two catastrophes. If at time I S (by which time the pattern of expansion was already firmly established) the expansion rate had differed from its actual value by more than 10-18, it would have been sufficient to throw the delicate balance out. The explosive vigor of the universe is thus matched with almost unbelievable accuracy to its gravitating power. The big bang was not, evidently, any old bang, but an explosion of exquisitely arranged magnitude.(7)
The laws of physics that emerged together with the Big Bang did not change at all over a period of 15 billion years. Furthermore, these laws stand on calculations so scrupulous that even a millimetre’s variation from their current values can result in the destruction of the whole structure and configuration of the universe.
The famous physicist Prof. Stephen Hawking states in his book A Brief History of Time, that the universe is set on calculations and balances more finely tuned than we can conceive. Hawking states with reference to the rate of expansion of the universe:
Why did the universe start out with so nearly the critical rate of expansion that separates models that recollapse from those that go on expanding forever, so that even now, ten thousand million years later, it is still expanding at nearly the critical rate? If the rate of expansion one second after the big bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the universe would have recollapsed before it ever reached its present size.(8)
Paul Davies also explains the unavoidable consequence to be derived from these incredibly precise balances and calculations:
It is hard to resist the impression that the present structure of the universe, apparently so sensitive to minor alterations in the numbers, has been rather carefully thought out… The seemingly miraculous concurrence of numerical values that nature has assigned to her fundamental constants must remain the most compelling evidence for an element of cosmic design.(9)
In relation to the same fact, an American professor of Astronomy, George Greenstein, writes in his book The Symbiotic Universe:
As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency – or, rather Agency – must be involved.(10)
THE CREATION OF MATTER
The atom, the building-block of matter, came into being after the Big Bang. These atoms then came together to make up the universe with its stars, earth and sun. Afterwards, the same atoms established life on the earth. Everything you see around you: your body, the chair you sit on, the book you hold in your hand, the sky seen through the window, the soil, the concrete, the fruits, the plants, all living things and everything that you can imagine have come to life with the gathering of atoms.
What then is the atom, the building block of everything, made of and what kind of a structure does it have?
When we examine the structure of atoms, we see that all of them have an outstanding design and order. Every atom has a nucleus in which there are certain numbers of protons and neutrons. In addition to these, there are electrons which move around the nucleus in a constant orbit with a speed of 1,000 kms per second.(11) Electrons and protons of an atom are equal in number, because positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons always balance each other. If one of these numbers were different, there would be no atom, since its electromagnetic balance would be disturbed. An atom’s nucleus, the protons and the neutrons in it, and the electrons around it are always in motion. These revolve both around themselves and each other unerringly at certain speeds. Those speeds are always proportionate to each other and provide the subsistence of the atom. No disorder, disparity, or change ever occurs.
It is very remarkable that such highly ordered and determined entities could come into being after a great explosion that took place in non-being. If the Big Bang were an uncontrolled, coincidental explosion, then it ought to have been followed by random events and everything that formed subsequently ought to have been dispersed in a great chaos.
In fact, a flawless order has prevailed at every point since the beginning of existence. For example, although atoms are formed at different places and times, they are so organized that they seem as though they were produced from a single factory with an awareness of each kind. First, electrons find themselves a nucleus and start to turn around it. Later, atoms come together to form matter and all these bring about meaningful, purposeful and reasonable objects. Ambiguous, useless, abnormal and purposeless things never occur. Everything from the smallest unit to the biggest component is organized and has manifold purposes.
All of this is solid evidence of the existence of the Creator, Who is exalted in power, and indicate the fact that everything comes into existence however He wants and whenever He wills. In the Qur’an, Allah refers to His creation thus:
He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth with truth, and on the day He says: Be, it is. His word is the truth. (Surat al-An’am, 73)
AFTER THE BIG BANG
As Roger Penrose, a physicist who has done extensive research on the origin of the universe, has stated the fact that the universe rests where it is not by mere coincidence shows that it definitely has a purpose. For some people, ‘the universe is just there’ and it just goes on being there. We just happened to find ourselves right in the middle of this whole thing. This viewpoint would probably not help us in understanding the universe. According to Penrose’s view, there are many deep affairs going on within the universe whose existence we cannot today perceive.(12)
The ideas of Roger Penrose are indeed good food for thought. As these words imply, many people wrongly entertain thoughts that the universe with all its perfect harmony exists for nothing and that they live in this universe again for idle play.
However, it can by no means be considered as ordinary that a quite perfect and wondrous order came about after the Big Bang, which is considered by the scientific community to be the means of the formation of the universe.
The order in the structure of the atom rules the whole universe. With the atom and its particles moving in a certain order, the mountains are not scattered, lands do not break apart, the sky is not split asunder and, in short, matter is held together and is constant.
Briefly, when we examine the glorious system in the universe, we see that the existence of the universe and its workings rest on extremely delicate balances and an order too complex to be explained away by coincidental causes. As is evident, it is by no means possible for this delicate balance and order to have been formed on its own and by coincidence after a great explosion. The formation of such an order following an explosion such as the Big Bang could only have been possible as a result of a supernatural creation.
This matchless plan and order in the universe certainly proves the existence of a Creator with infinite knowledge, might and wisdom, Who has created matter from nothing and Who controls and manages it incessantly. This Creator is Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the earth and all that is in between.
All these facts also show us how the claims of the materialist philosophy, which is simply a 19th century dogma, are invalidated by 20th century science.
By exposing the great plan, design and order prevalent in the universe, modern science has proved the existence of a Creator Who has created and rules all beings: that is, Allah.
Holding sway over a great number of people for centuries and having even disguised itself with the mask of ‘science’, materialism, by deeming everything to consist of nothing but matter, has made a great mistake and denied the existence of Allah, Who created and ordered matter from nothing. One day, materialism will be remembered in history as a primitive and superstitious belief opposing both reason and science.

Computer viruses were first seen in the late 1980s, however it was in 1983 that one of the programmers announced the existence of Core Wars, this was actually the starting point of what we call computer viruses today.
In the 1980 personal computer (PC) were rare, real PCs were only used by experts or programmers. In the late 80's due to the popularity of Apple Macintosh and IBM PC began to spread to homes and businesses. After the PCs were widespread allover companies, universities, colleges, Institutes and homes.
Around that time, a young MS-DOS was just starting to become the finest operating system worldwide. MS-DOS was a system with great projection, but still many deficiencies, which arose from lack of many hardware elements known nowadays. Like this, this new operating system became the target of a virus: Brain, a malicious code, which infected boot sectors of disks so that their contents could not be accessed. That time also saw the birth of the first Trojan: PC-Write.
After shortly, virus programmers think of the infecting files virus could be more harmful. And then they created a much known PC Virus called Brain. And then in 1988 Morris worm virus infect around 6000 or more personal computers. And then after that in the span of 1995-1999 macro viruses, polymorphic viruses such as Michael Angelo developed.
Viruses began to spread though Internet and Hardware devices like CDs, DVDs, Floppies, and Pen drives. If a Pen drive is infected, it could very easy to spread the viruses fast.
Computer threats these days come in the form of Data transferred from the Internet, such as downloading data files, Songs and emails. Computer viruses continued become more common as technology became more advanced and the Internet became widely used. Viruses nowadays also infecting through messaging programs.
How viruses work:
Computer Viruses are the malicious programs written by programmers that infect a computer without the knowledge of the user. Computer Viruses have the ability to attach themselves to another computer and reproduce itself. The programs or files which are infected of viruses act as viruses themselves, and allow to spared in another computer or files. Viruses, Trojans, Worms and Malwares are the most common computer threats in the modern computerized era.
A virus mostly requires action to infect a file or data. Virus can be a simple trick that pops up some messages or the total destruction of files and programs. Computer virus needs other program which will be able to infect and activate computer data.
Nowadays, Internet is accessible through cell phones, so viruses infect mobile phones as well.
First time virus attacks mobiles in around 2006. Since then there has been continues increment in mobile viruses. But cell phone viruses are 20 to 25 years back of PC viruses, which means if 300 viruses are targeting Smartphone's or mobiles then 400000 threats infecting PCs.
How to Fix Viruses:
You can protect your computer from viruses with a few simple tips:
Operating Systems like UNIX is more secure operating system. As we never heard about a virus attack on UNIX because of the security features of the operating system keep the threats away from the hard disk of system.
If you are using unprotected operating systems buy good Anti-Virus Software, Anti-Spyware & Firewall. Installing all best safety procedures is a good safeguard to your system.
Never Double-click on an email attachment or files which contain images, word files, excel sheets, they can attack and damage your Important Data Files.
Simply avoid unknown programs, and downloading files on internet this will protect your machine form traditional viruses.
Be careful when you're downloading files from internet, because most of the damaging viruses nowadays come from internet. Download the files which you are familiar with.
Try to avoid downloading files from emails and instant messenger and opening emails from the sites or people you don't know.
