Ninth gleam:·After pointing out some of the seals, stamps, and signatures on particulars and parts, universals and wholes, as well as on the world, life, living beings, and on the giving of life, I will indicate one of the countless stamps on species.

Since a tree’s countless fruits depend on one law of growth from one center, they are as easy and cheap to raise as a single fruit. In other words, multiple centers would require for a single fruit as much hardship, expenditure, and equipment as for a whole tree, and manufacturing the needed military equipment for one soldier would require all factories for a whole army. The first case explains the extraordinary ease of creating all species from a center of unity; the second case shows the impossible and countless difficulties that arise if creation were dependent upon multiple centers.

In short, therefore, the correspondence and similarity in basic members between a species’ members and a genus’ divisions proves that they are works of a single Maker, as they are “inscribed” with the same Pen and bear the same seal. The absolute ease of their creation, which makes them necessary and inevitable, requires that they be the work of One Maker. Otherwise, the ensuing difficulties would doom that genus and that species to non‑existence.

Given this, attributing everything to Almighty God makes all things are as easy as one thing; when attributed to causes, one thing is impossibly difficult. Thus the extraordinary economy and ease seen in the universe, as well as the endless abundance, clearly show the stamp of Unity. If these abundant and cheap fruits did not belong to the One of Unity, we could not buy a pomegranate even if we gave the world in exchange. How could we pay for the purposeful and conscious cooperation of the various universal elements (e.g., soil, air, water, sunlight, heat) and the seed, all of which are unconscious and obey a Single Maker, Who is Almighty God? The cost of a pomegranate or any other fruit is the whole universe.
