abstract	Of the various systems that we can actually observe in the physical world, some appear to be perfectly random, whereas others exhibit a high degree of order and structure. Whenever scientists encounter a phenomenon or system that exhibits a significant evolution towards order, but without any observable reason for such movement, they suspect the cause to be the objective action of some unseen force. Using this method, modern physics has now validated the existence of at least four basic forces, and continues to examine the possibility that other hitherto undetected forces may exist. In 1921, 'Abdu'l-Bahá presented a cogent scientific argument for the existence of an objective unseen force as the only explanation for the phenomenon of biological evolution. The findings of science have tended to show that the phenomenon of evolution represents a persistent movement from disorder towards order of the kind that strongly suggests the action of some unobservable force different from the other forces so far discovered.
