The Tablet to Dr. Forel is a letter of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá (1844–1921), written on 21 September 1921 in reply to questions asked by Auguste-Henri Forel (1848–1931), a Swiss myrmecologist, neuroanatomist and psychiatrist. It first appeared in print in Persian in 1922, and was then translated into English in 1976.
In this tablet ʻAbdu'l-Bahá discusses the differences between the mineral, vegetable, animal and human worlds, the spiritual nature of man and proofs of the existence of God.
This letter was used as a model by William Spottswood Hatcher (1935–2005) in his 1994 article entitled "A Scientific Proof of the Existence of God," first published in Russian in March 1992 under the title: "Научное доказательство существования бога."
