Perfection Is an Outcome Shown by Science and Prevails in All Living Structures

Darwinist claims have always been anything but scientific, and they have always used mere demagoguery and false evidence to prop their theories up. They deceive people by employing terminology that has nothing to do with the subject at hand, simply producing words without saying anything scientific at all. These are well-known evolutionist characteristics. But there has recently been another addition to Darwinists’ demagoguery.

Terms such as “perfect, magnificent, flawless,” used to emphasize the superior aspects of the structures in living things, alarm Darwinists. They respond by saying things like, “These are not scientific terms, they are personalized terms; there is no such thing as a perfect cell. What criteria are involved?”

The reason is this: Darwinists are aware that they cannot account in terms of the theory of evolution for the extraordinary order and behavior in living things, such as the golden ratio, symmetry, division of labor or planning. Their latest feeble move, a defense mechanism, is to attack these terms. In short,Darwinists are in such a wretched position as to suggest that the use of these terms is improper.

Why do Darwinists reject the concept of “perfection”?

“Perfection” is a scientific term because living structures exhibit a perfection that exceeds human abilities and sometimes even human comprehension. For example, the stages involved in plant photosynthesis are still not yet fully understood.  no machine capable of making photosynthesis has thus far ever been constructed. We still do not fully understand how tiny birds weighing just a few grams can migrate thousands of kilometers, how they navigate, and where they obtain the strength to do this. The majestic nature of the order within the bee hive, how the regular hexagons in the honeycomb came about and the glory of the ventilation system in termite nests are all absolutely stunning.

In fact, Darwinists know perfectly well that the features in living things are perfect and that they cannot explain them in terms of evolution. But they still do all they can to reject the concept of “perfection.” The sole reason for this is that, in their eyes, it is impossible for there to be perfection in a structure they maintain came about by chance.

Chance cannot produce perfection. It cannot understand symmetry or the golden ratio. It cannot give rise to entire systems that engage in a division of labor at the molecular level, take precautions, leave no deficiencies and test for, and even correct, errors. All chance can produce is either nothing, or else deformed, twisted, irregular, crippled and sickly structures. That is why Darwinists are so alarmed by the use of words such as “perfect,” “extraordinary” and “flawless.”

The truth is clear, even if Darwinists try to hide from it

The fact that Darwinists try to avoid with their policy of silencing argument is this:

• Proteins serve very different functions inside the cell. Every protein knows where to go and what to do at the moment it comes into being. One enfolds DNA, another indicates the location of the code in protein synthesis, one becomes a hormone and permits communication while another becomes an enzyme and catalyzes reactions. Darwinists can never succeed in performing one of the jobs of one of the thousands of proteins inside the cell. FURTHERMORE, THEY CAN NEVER EXPLAIN HOW A SINGLE PROTEIN MIGHT HAVE FORMED. Such a structure that so exceeds human abilities is, in a word, perfect.
• DNA is a work of art. Some two meters long and divided into 46 chromosomes, it is folded into the cell nucleus a mere one to two microns in size using the most complex folding technique in the world. It is enzymes and proteins that do this folding. If Darwinists claim there is no perfection in this, then they have to be able to do something similar, or at least make a copy of it.
• The chloroplast inside a leaf performs photosynthesis, the mechanism of which we still do not fully understand, with an amazing expertise. If Darwinists maintain that this system is not perfect, they need to be able to make a copy or to be able to do something similar.
• A moon fish living in Antarctica can survive at temperatures as low as minus 56 degrees and dive down to great depths. Yet it is unaffected by sudden and intense changes in pressure, because in contrast to many mammals, its respiratory tract is flat-oval in shape, rather than round, and is capable of immediately closing under high pressure. It can also close its lungs instantaneously. This characteristic is perfection.
• A seed can store and never forget all the information for a flower, a fruit or a tree. If Darwinists claim there is no perfection in this, then they need to explain how the seed can store all this information and how it can be preserved for hundreds or even thousands of years.
• A hummingbird’s heart beats between 500 and 1,200 times per minute throughout the day. At night, however, it slows down so much that its heartbeat literally stops, and the bird seems not to be breathing at all. These birds expend more energy, for their size, then a modern passenger jet. If we were to expend an equivalent amount of energy, our body temperature would rise to 400 degrees and we would have to consume 45 kilos of sugar every day in order to meet that energy need. It is wondrous how this tiny animal does what is impossible for a human being.
• Darwinists need to be able to account for a bat’s sonar system, bees’ navigational abilities, a bacteria’s ability to perform chemical separation, the way a scorpion can withstand ultraviolet rays, the way a salamander can renew its own organs and all the countless characteristics in living things, in terms of evolution. But since they cannot do that, living things possess superior structures to human beings and these are all amazing properties. And these show us “perfection, glory and flawlessness.”

A Response to Darwinists Who Refuse to Admit the Secret of the Creation of Life on Earth:

Why do some life forms have a sonar system, and others not?

This is the kind of question that Darwinists, who are unwilling to admit the secret of the creation of life on Earth, frequently resort to.

The answer is this: The dolphin that possesses sonar is superior, in this respect, to human beings. Or a salamander that renews its organs is superior to humans in this regard.

In the same way there are perfections in the human body, some structures superior to those of humans have been created in other life forms. But Allah is the Creator of all different properties. If Allah wished, he could create them all in one single living thing. And that is indeed how the creation in paradise will be. People will possess all kinds of attributes, superiority, flawlessness and immortality in paradise. It is sufficient to know of the dolphin’s sonar to appreciate the sublimity of Allah. It is sufficient to know that the salamander renews its own organs to appreciate that Allah is mighty enough to do this. The absence of these properties in humans is because they are tested in this world.

People will be tested with deficiencies and will thus desire paradise, or flawlessness, to put it another way. To fail to see the purpose here and say, “There are flaws in this world, nothing is flawless,” means to fail to appreciate the reason for the creation of man. The greatest proof we are given about Allah’s creative artistry is the perfection we see just about everywhere in the universe. We can see from this evidence that our Almighty Creator is powerful enough to do all things, that He will create the entity He wishes with the superior qualities He wishes, and that he will create all these and more in paradise.

Perfections are a great blessing for us. Perfections are facts shown us by science. Perfections only disturb Darwinists because every perfection undermines the theory of evolution. Every new marvel that emerges as science advances will continue to undermine the theory of evolution, and Darwinists will continue to be troubled by these perfections. What we of course wish, is for them, too, to delight in these perfections and properly and sincerely appreciate our Almighty Lord, the Creator of all things.

The Maternal Compassion And The Example Of The Self-Sacrifice In The Octopus

In the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean, the giant octopus – their length exceeds four metres- live. The octopus searches for a shelter in order to be safe and when they find the shelter they live there until the end of their lives.

This shelter is a place where the octopus will give birth to the baby octopi safely. As soon as the mother octopus settles down, it starts to lay eggs. After giving birth to about 100,000 baby octopi , it won’t breed again.

The mother octopus takes care of its  babies with  great self-devotion during six months. In order to keep the babies alive the nest should be moist. To do this, the octopus checks the eggs frequently. To cater to the oxygen of the eggs, the octopus splashes water continuously on the eggs.

The mother octopus is so busy  taking care of the eggs that it doesn’t spend time on eating anything. Although it  could easily  die from  starvation, it endeavors without stopping to take care of its eggs until they hatch safely and easily until it breaths its last.

In the end, young and fully-formed babies hatch from the eggs...

However, the mother octopus which is a caretaker, compassionate and merciful is dead.

Of course, He is Allah Who creates the octopus with compassion, mercy and devotion, and He has the infinite mercy and compassion, as He is the Creator and maintainer of all living things.  Allah is most Benefcent, the most Merciful.

What Is The Wisdom Behind Traveling Rocks?

 

Walking is an ordinary everyday activity . That is why it is not surprising to see a bird , a man or a cat walking since they are all living beings. However, something so ordinary for living organisms is quite extraordinary when it is seen in nonliving things.

A miracle has been taking place in California's Death Valley National Park . Rocks that weigh up to a 100 pounds "walk", sometimes traveling more than a hundred yards leaving straight , twisted , or zigzagged trails behind them in one or more directions. 

THE MYSTERY BEHIND THE WALKING ROCKS HAS BEEN SOLVED BY ADVANCED SCIENCE.

The "walking rocks" phenomenon has confounded the scientific community . Scientists have puzzled over the rocks at the valley for a century.

In 2010, researchers at NASA started investigating the area.  Sensors  were placed on  the flat area at depths of three-quarters to four inches deep. The units registered that the top layer of the soil froze in March , and it was wet up to three inches deep in April. According to this data, the team drew some conclusions .

In March, the snow on the surrounding mountains flows into the valley as a thin layer of water and produces a circle of ice . In April , when a second layer of water flows into the valley, this " ice collar" under the rocks act as a boat on which the rocks float.

The ice collars are as hard as glass , therefore they leave a trail on the surface of the valley , but when they melt and disappear , only the rocks and their trails are seen afterwards.

Because there is no rain or earthquakes in this part of the valley , it eliminates the possible effects of these occurrences .

Another early suggestion was that the rocks were driven by gravity . However, this theory was also discounted when it was revealed that most of the rocks are actually traveling uphill.

Walking rocks is not an ordinary event witnessed everywhere. It is observed in only one area on Earth as a proof of Allah's perfect creation. Allah is the owner and Creator of the living and the non -living . He sometimes reminds us of this fact by creating extraordinary occurrences like the one on Death Valley. He also creates the causes like the physical conditions such as rain , wind, etc. to form the unexpected result. Both the cause and the result is his doing.

A Qur'anic verse points to this fact explaining how non-living rocks move with the awe of Allah :

Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder. For indeed, there are stones from which rivers burst forth, and there are some of them that split open and water comes out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. ( Surat al-Baqara, 74)

Even more fascinating than this is the movement of giant mountains and massive continents , which weigh millions of tons. They all move with Allah's permission. This information that we have learned of only relatively recently,  was stated in the Quran with 1,400 years ago in this verse:

And if there was any  Qur'an by which the mountains would be removed or the Earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur'an], but to Allah belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allah willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allah . Indeed, Allah does not fail in [His] promise ( Surah Ra'd , 31).

Transformation Of Cells Into Organs A Miracle

Chromosomes coming from the parents exist in an egg cell newly fertilized in the mother’s womb. This cell starts dividing rapidly, and the newly formed cells differentiate as they continue to divide. They start to assume different tasks and reach the parts of the body where they belong. That is to say, rather than remaining as lumps of meat made up of similar cells, some of them become, for instance, eye cells or others heart cells and go to their respective places. Alternatively, if it is a skin cell, it covers the body. 

During this stage of division, cells work and cooperate very closely and meticulously like a very good working team. Each one of the cells is aware of the entire plan and work in cooperation and communication. How does such an advanced level of order and coordination come true? 

The answer to these questions isvery explicit: Living beings are created flawlessly and the artistry and might in their creation belongs to the Almighty Allah. In one verse of the Qur’an, Allah states the following: 

“He created the heavens and the earth with truth and formed you, giving you the best of forms. And He is your final destination. (Qur’an, 64:3)

• How do the cells know where they will go, which organ they will be a part of and what will they accomplish there?
• How do they interact with other cells in such harmony?

Proteins produced in various forms for different cells

While an embryo develops in the woman’s womb, the DNA that would make up the eyes of that embryo produce only the proteins related to the eye. Similarly the DNA strands that make up the brain of the embryo only produce the proteins related with the brain. 

The important point here is the following: The DNA of any cell in the body –whether it may be a bone cell, liver cell or a kidney cell – contains all the information that make up all the organs of the human being. However in all this information, only the related proteins are produced. In other words, in every cell there exists the information related to all organs in the body but not all the proteins are produced. Only that protein of the related organ is produced. For this end, histone, a special protein, packagesthe DNA in order to prevent the production of unnecessary proteins. Today one of the greatest secrets that baffle scientists is how histones in the cells know which genes to suppress and which ones are allowed to continue operating. Proteins are also molecules that are made up of non-living atoms. It is evident that unconscious and unintelligent atoms can not bring such a tremendous creation into being. 

Coordination during restructuring of the cells

DNA itself is neither a biochemist nor a super computer capable of accomplishing trillions of calculations per second. DNA is simply a molecule made up of carbon, phosphate, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. 

Now let’s think; each and every cell that multiplies by division contains all the genetic information in a human being. That is to say, every cell actually has the capability to make up the heart muscle, a red blood cell or any other tissue of the body. Although every cell has DNA, at different stages of development, only some genes become active in different organs. For instance, kidney formation and its functioning codes exist in each cell; but during development only the related genes become active in this organ at some particular times.

Who gives the order to divide and of being specialized in different tasks following the division? Furthermore, how do the cells have the sense of obeying these orders? How do they work in such discipline and organization? It is obvious that none of these are random systems that come into existence by chance. They all come into existence by the might of our Lord. (Qur’an, 32:5)

Perfection in man’s creation is not limited to cells

Cells must also exist at the right stage of life in accurate amounts. Some “maintenance” genes work in all cells at almost all times. Other genes function only for a couple of hours and then remain in standby mode until the next task. For instance, during nursing milk production is accelerated by genes. Available information is activated at the right time, in the right amount and at the appropriate location. It is impossible to explain away such planned, conscious, calculated and rational use of billions of information existing in the DNA as “chance.” Attributing the extraordinarily planned and organized incidents taking place on the microscopic level to chance is an account without rhyme or reason. Scientists acknowledge that they are still quite unable to give an account for this differentiation of cells and the flawless distribution of tasks in the cells. The Turkish microbiologist Ali Demirsoy admits this fact as follows:

“That many cell groups with different structures and functions come into existence from a fertilized egg could not be satisfactorily explained so far.” (Ali Demirsoy, Heritage and Evolution, Meteksan Publishing, Ankara, 1984, p.158)

It is obvious that all these extraordinary incidents could not have been the work of chance or the cell itself. Then to Whom does the Might and Intelligence that administers all these incidents and create them for a particular purpose belong? There is one single answer to this: Our Lord, with His infinite mercy, created man in his current flawless form and incessantly endows him with endless blessings. In one verse of the Qur’an Allah relates thus:

“He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried to number Allah’s blessings, you could never count them. Man is indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful.” (Qur’an, 14:34)

Protein Synthesis In The Cell Is A Miracle

 

Protein Synthesis

Every process in the body takes place by way of proteins. For that reason, every cell needs protein at every moment.

As a result,  protein needs to be manufactured in the body every second.

The place in the cell where protein is manufactured is the DNA.

When any of the 100 trillion or so cells in the body needs protein, a message is sent to the DNA by way of hormones.

The proteins in DNA, in other words enzymes, go into action in order to take the code necessary for the protein to be manufactured from the DNA.

The way that enzymes find the information needed to be able to manufacture a single protein is like trying to FIND A SINGLE PAGE in an encyclopedia of 1,000 volumes.

That part of the DNA containing this code is opened up. Enzymes open up the relevant part of the helix and hold it open as far as the end of the section the relevant code will be extracted from. There is no need for any other sections to be opened up.

While these enzymes hold open the edges of the section needed for the code, another enzyme arrives on the scene and produces a copy of the section in question.

The extracted copy is called “messenger RNA.” The messenger RNA sets out for the factory where the protein is to be manufactured.

The messenger RNA carefully transports the copy and leaves the nucleus. There are gatekeepers waiting at the exit from the nucleus during this stage. They decide what can enter the nucleus or not and open the gate accordingly. The gate is always opened for messenger RNA.

The messenger RNA takes the copy and departs the nucleus, carrying the copy directly to the ribosome, the factory where the new protein is to be manufactured.

The messenger RNA binds to the relevant part of the ribosome and begins preparations for the manufacture of new protein.

In order for production to take place in the ribosome, the factory in other words, raw materials have to be brought in and installed in line with the code.

These raw materials are amino acids. These are brought in by “transfer RNA.” The amino acids are brought in  and establish a glorious protein chain, consisting of at least a hundred sequences each.

Amino acids bind to one another with special chemical bonds known as “peptide bonds.” These chemical bonds are some of the most powerful bonds of all. Proteins therefore have a very sound structure and are not easily damaged by external factors.

The way these amino acids are arranged determines the nature of that protein. It is therefore exceedingly important which amino acid follows which in the sequence. Enzymes never make a mistake as they establish the sequence. After the new protein chain has been manufactured, it is sent to a special section in the factory, in the ribosome in other words, where it assumes a special three-dimensional form through being folded and pleated in various ways.

This three-dimensional shape created by this folding and pleating determines the nature of the protein. Unless it is given a special shape the protein cannot function, even if the sequence is completely accurate.

When the chain assumes its three-dimensional form, the process is now complete. A new protein has been built. When the new protein departs this special section, an enzyme arrives on the scene. It picks up the newly constructed protein and carries it right to where it is needed in the cell.

The protein synthesis process, described here in very general terms,  takes place in every cell, 2,000 times per second. All the components know just what to do as they carry out the process. Not a single enzyme fails to reach its target and objective; production never goes wrong inside the factory; the special folding of the new protein chain is never forgotten; the messengers never get lost. The cell is aware of the importance and delicate nature of this production at every moment.

They know, because every part of the cell acts under our Lord’s inspiration at every moment. Every enzyme, every amino acid and every atom that goes to make them up is a manifestation of Almighty Allah’s infinite power and omniscience. Everything has bowed its head to our Almighty Lord, Lord and Ruler of all the worlds, He Who is omnipresent at all times. Everything is in His knowledge and all things have submitted to Him. Creating all these worlds from nothing is a most easy matter for Allah the Merciful.

Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth belongs to Him. Allah is the Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (Surat al-Haj, 64)

The Selective Nature Of The Nerve Cells

• What is the resting potential of the neurons and how is it preserved?

• What is action potential and how are the signals transmitted?

The nerve cells, which are called the neurons, unlike other cells, have axons and dendrites. The dendrites consist of many short extensions and look like the roots of the cell. These extensions receive signals from other neurons and the recipient cells and convey it to the body of the cell. Axons, on the other hand, are thin structures that arise from the cell body. One axon arises from the cell body and they help carry the messages to the brain. These neurons make a huge network of communication, all together.

Every cell membrane has an electrical charge and every neuron is like a tiny biologic battery ready to discharge itself. And each neuron is like a mini, biological battery ready to discharge its energy. The ions are electric-charged molecules inside and outside the nerve cells. This creates a difference in the voltage throughout the cell membrane. In order for the the neurons to send signals, minus 50 milivolt (one millivolt is one in one thousandth of a volt) is needed at an average.¹ The signal is transmitted through the axon. After every signal, potassium ions are exchanged through the cell membrane. The neuron has to be recharged after every signal. To do that, the neuron gets back the ions to reach its potential value.

One neuron takes onethousandth of a second to send a signal. This makes it possible to send a maximum of 1000 signals a second, however generally only 300-400 signals are sent in one second. The nerve cells have varying lengths in people² and the speed of transmission is around 100-300 meters a second.³

Prof. Peter Suckling, a neuroscientist at the Downstate Medicine Center, explains his awe at the cell membrane:

“This thin cell memberane preserves the electric voltage more efficiently than any other insulating material. This is a very high insulating power. It has to be strong and at the same time, it is very thin.”⁴

The fact that the nerve cells can signal each other through the electricity produced in the cell membrane, the fact that they can send messages and ensure that the body functions continue, is something to be pondered upon. Furthermore, these electrical signals find the right address and make sense to the recipient cell. Every cell knows what the signal means and acts accordingly. This is a miraculous incident that has to be thought about very comprehensively. If it wasn’t for this flawless system between the cells, no living thing could survive. Then how did this system that displays an amazing intelligence and engineering come about? Surely, it is impossible to say that unconscious piles of atoms and molecules came together to build the cells and led to this amazingly engineered system between the cells. The existence of such a conscious system proves us the existence of creation in the living things. This incredible micro structure that left scientists amazed, belongs to our Lord, the Creator of Everything:

“Is He who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed?” (An-Nahl, 17)

Neurons at rest

A nerve cell is at rest, when it is not communicating a signal. However, this doesn’t mean that the neuron is completely immobile. It has to be ready to transmit signals that could be received from the neighbors at any moment. A neuron that is at rest has to polarized. This means that the liquid inside has to be negatively charged compared to one outside. One nerve cell has an electric potential of around 70 milivolts across the cell membrane. This is called the membrane potential or the resting potential. Although this might seem like a small amount, it means that it produces a voltage that is equal to 1/20 of the energy in the battery of a small flashlight and creates a potential for the electricity production throughout the axon membrane. 

Outside the axon, there are sodium and (Na+) chloride (Cl-) ions, while inside, there are charged proteins and potassium (K+) ions. The electrical imbalance between outside and inside of the cell, creates the resting potential throughout the membrane. This imbalance created by the charged ions, is obtained through the cell membrane being semipermeable for different ions. Even if the sodium, potassium and chlorine ions pass through the cell membrane, the entrance of big molecules creating an electric potential, is restricted.

However, semipermeability is not the only solution, as the potassium ions inside the cell (K+) are always higher in number than the sodium ions (Na+), while the sodium ions outside the cell membrane (Na+) are always more than the potassium ions (K+). In order to ensure the necessary ion balance, the intensity levels in the nerve cell, has to be reverted.  

The cell does this using a kind of ion pump. The sodium-potassium pump is a big protein molecule that builds a channel in the cell membrane. This pump gets its energy from the ATP (Adenosine-5'-triphosphate: the cellular energy molecule that living things directly use) and after sending the sodium (Na+) ions out, accepts the potassium (K+) ions inside. Thus, it preserves the right ion ratio inside and outside the cell. In every square micrometer of the cell membrane, there are some 100–200 sodium-potassium pumps and each of them sends out 200 sodium ions while accepting 130 potassium ions inside.

Action potential and transmission of the signal

When a neuron is prompted by another neuron or the conditions, the signal starts and right after this, the signal moves along the axon and makes the cell membrane potential to be reverted. As there are thousands of protein channels or gates on the neuron membrane allowing the passage of the ions. These gates are usually closed. When there is a signal, the sodium channels are opened and the positive-charged sodium ions flow inside. This way, the inside of the cell membrane has more positive charge and the resting potential is reverted, which increases the cell membrane potential up to +50 milivolt. The reverting of these charges is called the ‘action potential’. During the action potential, the potassium gates are opened and the positive charged potassium ions flow outside. This re-balances the resting potential and the inside of the neuron becomes negative charged while outside becomes positive charged.

A single electric signal triggers all this process. Therefore, we can say that the transmission of the signals triggers a domino effect. As each domino falls, the next one falls. After the signal is sent, the dominos stand back and get ready for the next action potential.

The molecular traffic between the nerve cells continues on a constant basis. It is the ions and some proteins that tell this traffic to move or to stop. It is surely impossible for unconscious moelecules to build this amazing nervous system in our bodies and then organize it perfectly. They have come together to serve a single purpose within a system. This fascinating system in our bodies is one of the manifestations of Allah’s beautiful creation and infinite control over everything.

Synapse Paths

The nervous system in human body is a very complex structure that consists of billions of nerve cells. These nerve cells communicate with each other and the other cells in the body through the synapses. The synapses are small sections in the neighboring nerve cells which are very close to each other, but they never touch. Since they do not touch each other, the signals do not directly pass from one cell to another, rather than that they are carried through by using chemical means which are called neurotransmitters.

When a signal is received in the first cell, this leads to the release of some neurotransmitters to the intracellular gap. After that, the neurotransmitter molecules are diffused in this gap and go to a less dense environment and bind to the recipient protein molecules in the second cell. Since the neurotransmitters and the recipient molecules have too many different types, this synapses transmission can be fast (onethousandth of a second) or slow (one hundredth of a second). The chemicals either trigger or stop the second cell. Therefore, the synapses serve in the nervous system either by changing the data or processing it. This is why, the synpasis function in the brain is linked to learning and the memory.

The neurons receive and send messages through connections called synapsis and exchange chemicals at these points. There are one trillion connection points between the nerve cells in the brain and the molecular traffic over these connections is continuous.  The ones who dictate when this traffic should stop or continue, are the ions, which are electrically charged chemicals and different types of proteins. Clearly, the fact that we can live very comfortably, that we can react to our surroundings become possible by the means of this special system that Allah created in our bodies. Furthemore, the nerve cells make only a small part of the complex system in our bodies. This system all around our bodies is one of the great manifestations of Allah’s infinite power and control. However, every detail in our bodies, is created with a very special duty, by our Almighty Lord who has infinite knowledge. Our Lord says in the verses:  

“Ask them for a fatwa: is it they who are stronger in structure or other things We have created? We created them from sticky clay.

No wonder you are surprised as they laugh with scorn!.” (As-Saffat, 11-12)

Even if we know or not what the synapsis cells do, or even if we forget about them, it won’t make much of a difference in our lives. However, the cells have an important duty to know these details and work with them without making any mistakes. They are very  committed to their job, doing it every moment, without us even feeling it, and without mistakes or problems. These signals that are carried through doors which are opened in a split second, actually make up the invisible parts of a huge structure. Tasting an apple, smelling a rose, recognizing your mother’s voice, remembering a phone number, being able to press the button of a remote controller, being able to answer a question easily, climbing down the stairs fast, in short, everything you do in your life without thinking about it, can happen by the means of this system. And our duty is giving thanks to our Lord, Who created this system without us even knowing how necessary it is. 

Another Intermediate Fossil Deception Has Been Added To The Scientific Literature

Evolutionist scientists the other day introduced the public to a new supposed intermediate fossil: Archicebus achilles

This fossil, about the size of a squirrel and dating back 55 million years, is a member of the tarsier family living today. Evolutionist scientists who examined the fossil for 10 years recently described this organism, on the basis of a minor variation in the heel and feet bones, as a supposed intermediate form between humans and primates. The fact is, however, that this fossil bears the same characteristics as tarsier primates living in Southeast Asia today. The fossil skull, teeth, jointed bones and skeletal structure are identical to those of present-day tarsiers.

The only difference in this 55-million-year-old fossil is in the heel and foot bones. The heel and foot  bones are identical to those of present-day marmosets, or tarsiers.

When we examine the fossil, we encounter a perfect living thing, from its skull to its feet. During their examinations lasting 10 years, scientists used advanced imaging techniques to investigate the skeletal structure buried inside the fossil in great detail. This examination revealed that every part of this animal functioned perfectly. No non-functioning or semi-functioning part was encountered. Every part of this excellently preserved fossil, from its head to its feet, was flawless. However, evolutionist scientists have resorted to the usual techniques and used the fact that this fossil possessed features from two different life forms to portray it as supposed evidence for evolution. However, this is totally misleading because mosaic creatures, such as the  Platypus that has both reptilian and mammalian  characteristics, are living today. These are not intermediate forms, however, but unique species. 

The Platypus  is a mosaic animal with both 

reptilian and mammalian characteristics.

Archicebus achilles is not a mosaic life form, however, because this fossil possesses entirely mammalian features. In other words, it is not a supposed intermediate form as evolutionists are claiming.

Millions of species of living things  have existed and subsequently become extinct. Scientists estimate that 99.8% of the species that once existed have since gone extinct. The way that scientists describe fossils they discover as supposed intermediate forms, rather than classifying them as extinct, when the level of extinct species approaches 100%, is completely  fraudulent.

Archicebus achilles is a species with a perfectly functioning body, that lived once in the past but has since gone extinct. All living things of which fossil remains exist but which are not living today are extinct species. For example, the moa, a bird unique to New Zealand, went extinct sometime in the 1400s. However, if evolutionists had found these fossils now they would doubtless, as they do with fossils of all extinct life forms, have referred to the moa as a supposed intermediate form between dinosaurs and birds because the moa was a wingless, flightless bird.

Reconstruction of a moa

Evolutionists perpetrated the same ruse with the Coelacanth fossil. When they first found  Coelacanth fossils  they claimed, on the basis of the bony structure in its fins, that it was an intermediate life form between fish and reptiles. However, the discovery of a living Coelacanth, previously thought to be extinct, in South Africa instantly refuted this evolutionist trickery. The Coelacanth was not an intermediate form, but a bottom-dwelling fish perfect in all respects.

As with all their other claims about intermediate forms, evolutionists also need to apologize over the fossil Archicebus achilles, which they claim to be a supposed intermediate form between humans and primates.  Once again, evolutionist scientists have evaluated scientific findings in a biased manner and are still trying to impose the idea of evolution.

CNN International, The Telegraph and the Los Angeles Times once again demonstrated their biased and pro-evolution publishing policy with reports adorned with illustration pictures.

CNN International: Ancient primate could be a missing link.

Great Britain’s The Telegraph: Archicebus achilles could be humanity’s earliest primate cousin.

Los Angeles Times: Virtual fossil shows our oldest primate cousin, scientists say.

The Miracle Of Coordination: A System That Functions Flawlessly in Our Bodies

What is the first condition for the immaculate coordination in our bodies?

What processes take place in our bodies when we see someone we know or as we walk?

What kind of co-ordination is there between nerve cells and the brain?

What processes are taking place in your body as you read this?

The flash of a camera in the dark, the way your car starts when you turn the key in the ignition, the way your computer performs the processes you want at high speed: A large number of components have to work together in harmony for the processes summarized in just a few words here to take place. Just like the technological devices cited here, all the events that take place in the world come about as the result of a perfect harmony in the universe. One of the most striking examples of this perfect organization takes place in our own bodies. This organization allows a person to perform many actions, such as laughing, speaking, opening and closing their eyes, walking, recognizing people and understanding, at one and the same time, and also performs vitally important tasks for us. In addition, all these processes take place very fast, in just a thousandth of a second.  Almighty God has created all these systems in our body in harmony with one another, directed toward all our needs and in a flawless manner. This sublime intelligence and awareness manifests itself in every cell in our bodies as we walk, breathe, look around or greet someone we know in our daily activities, activities that seem so very ordinary to us, and our organs and tissues work together in an extraordinary coordination and equilibrium.

The Processes That Are Involved in the Body As We Walk

Walking is a process we all learn at an early age and regard as “very easy.” Yet in order for us to take even a single step, various different systems in our bodies go into action and work together with astounding rapidity in order for us to take that step. In addition, these systems work in such an organized way that after we have taken one step there is no need for us to wait to take the next one. The way that all these processes we have to write down one after the other take place “simultaneously” in the body is of course a great miracle.

-The way that our bones, which weigh around 16 kg, can bear a body weighing 3-4 times more than them without breaking,

-The way that the reactive force that forms toward our bodies because of their weight every time we take a step is reduced by means of the “force distributing” effect of the 33 small bones that make up the spine and its curved S shape,

-The way some 100 of the muscles so carefully attached to the bones work as we walk,

-The curved sole of the foot and its special shape resembling a cushion that eliminates the adverse effect of the weight of the body,

-And the way we maintain our balance owing to the coordination between the cerebellum, inner ear and microhairs in the inner ear, are just a few of the processes that allow us to walk.

Moreover, at the same time as such complex systems are going into action to allow us to walk, we can also speak, breathe, close our eyes, turns our heads right and left and recognize objects by their names. The way these processes, summarized here in just a few sentences, take place at the same time once again reveals the perfect creation in the human body.

We Make No Special Effort to Speak

In order for the words we wish to say to leave our mouths we do not have sit and calculate the aperture of our vocal cords and how much they need to vibrate, which of the hundreds of muscles in our mouths, tongues and throats need to contract or expand, by how much and in what order, how many cubic centimeters of air to take into our lungs, and how fast and at what intervals we need to expel that air again. And even if we wanted to, we could not do it! This is because the emergence from our mouths of one single word is the result of many structures, from the respiratory system to the nervous system and from our muscles to our bones all working in harmony.

When We Meet and Get Acquainted

Whenever we meet anyone we know, a glorious organization take place in our bodies in response to this new situation. We can list these processes that go into operation simultaneously as follows:

The recognition process begins with sight. The light reflected from the body of the other person reaches our pupils at a rate of 10 trillion photons (light particles) per second. The light first passes through the lens and then through the fluid filling the eye sockets, and then falls onto the retina. There are hundreds of millions of cells on the surface of the retina; “cone cells” able to perceive color and “rod cells” able to distinguish between dark and light. The retina cells perceive the photons by means of complicated chemical processes and produce electrical signals. The electrical stimulus from the retina is thus transmitted from one neuron to another to the visual cortex of the brain. In this way, the image of the person you know forms in a perfect manner in the center of the cerebral cortex.

In order to establish that this person is someone you know, the memory cells are checked and data in the memory concerning the person’s face are compared. Even the face in the image in the cerebral cortex and the facial data in your memory are compared, and any change in that person (such as a new hairstyle or perhaps a sickly appearance) is immediately identified.

The thousands of complex processes that take place so far do so at an amazing speed, and we immediately recognize the person in front of us, smile, say hello and begin speaking to them. And this time, 17 muscles have to work together, accurately and at the same time, in order to produce a small smile. If just one of the 17 does not work or misperforms, then the smile will not happen and the expression on your face will be meaningless.

We do not make any special effort to speak and to greet people. In order for the words we wish to say to leave our mouths, we do not have sit and calculate the aperture of our vocal cords and how much they need to vibrate, which of the hundreds of muscles in our mouths, tongues and throats to contract or expand, by how much and in what order, how many cubic centimeters of air to take into our lungs, and how fast and at what intervals we need to expel that air again. And even if we wanted to, we could not do it! This is because the emergence from our mouths of even one single word is the result of many structures, from the respiratory system to the nervous system and from our muscles to our bones all working in harmony.

Almighty God has created human beings in a perfect manner. The human body is just one of the proofs of Almighty God’s infinite power and knowledge. Anyone capable of using his intelligence and conscience will clearly see this. The creative artistry of our Lord is revealed as follows in verses:

“O man! What has deluded you in respect of your Noble Lord?

He Who created you and formed you and proportioned you

and assembled you in whatever way He willed.” (Surat al-Infitar, 6-8)

The Amazing Coordination between the Nerve Cells and the Brain

There are 10 million (10,000,000) brain cells in every cubic centimeter of the brain, and a total of between 10 to 15 billion cells. At the same time, the nerve cells have up to 10 times as many connections between them, in the region of 15 trillion (15,000,000,000,000). The number of cells (brain connective tissue) in connection with the nerve cells and feeding and supporting them is around 90 billion (90,000,000,000).

Messages carried to the brain via the nerves travel at 200 miles (320 km) per hour. In other words, the nerves that reach the body from the nerve cells literally act like a highway for information traveling between the brain and the body. All events taking place in our bodies moment by moment, such as;

 The way you are using your eyes to read these words;

 The way you lean back as you sit down;

 The way you understand what you read;

 The way your heart beats;

 The way you breathe;

 The way you close your eyes;

 The way your hair grows;

 The way you perceive smells;

 The way you hear what is going on around you;

In short, processes of all kind that we could go on listing forever, continue by way of signals reaching the brain and commands issued by the brain to every part of the body. (Between 100,000 and 1,000,000 chemical reactions are known to be capable of taking place in the brain in just one minute.)

The Billions of Pieces of Data Processed Every Second Are All under the Control of God

The first condition for the flawless harmony in the body is the provision of accurate information. New analyses can only be performed with new information being obtained: That is why there is a wonderful communications network in the body.

In order for coordinated activity to take place, the positions of the relevant organs in the body and the relationships between them all need to be known. That information comes from the eyes, the balance mechanism in the inner ear, the muscles, the joints, the skin and the bones; billions of pieces of information are processed and analyzed every second, and decisions are taken accordingly. Even while you sleep your vital organs continue to function owing to instructions coming in from part of the nervous system, the lower brain and the spinal column. Your heart beats, your lungs work and you breathe.

The speed of data processing in your body cannot be matched by any computer. No matter what you do, extraordinary calculations take place in your body, from the simplest actions to the most difficult.

Everything described here clearly takes place as the result of a creation requiring an infinite power. That infinite might belongs to God, the Almighty Creator of the entire universe. This is revealed as follows in the Qur’an:

“…No, everything in the heavens and Earth belongs to Him. Everything is obedient to Him.” (Surat al-Baqara, 116)

As You Read These Words

The systems in your body continue functioning perfectly every second. Due to that organization, you can hear the sounds around you and see and understand what you read at one and the same time. Meanwhile, your heart continues to beat, your nose detects smells and your lungs continue to breathe. You constantly blink and swallow. Maybe you sip a cup of tea beside you, and then your digestive system goes to work. Additionally, if you do not eat or drink anything, you will soon feel hungry. The interesting thing is that while all these things are taking place you still continue to read and understand what you are reading. While you are concentrating on reading and understanding, the organization in your body continues to keep you alive outside your own volition. What is more, these processes continue to take place without your asking for them. Of course, this flawless co-ordination is not something that a person can carry out for himself; nobody ever thinks, “I must close my eyes to stop them from drying out” or “I must regulate my breathing” when he is out jogging. Actions that seem very simple to you - and that you may never even have thought about - actually show the presence of a highly detailed organization in your body and reveal the flawless nature of the creative artistry of Almighty God. Almighty God reveals in verses of the Qur’an how His creations are all magnificently coordinated with one another:

“He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again – do you see any gaps?

Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled and exhausted!” (Surat al-Mulk, 3-4)

There is an amazingly complex and enormous co-ordination network inside us. Its aim is to ensure we stay alive. This co-ordination can particularly be seen in the body’s locomotion system because the skeletal system, the muscles and the nervous system have to work together in perfect collaboration for even the smallest movement to be possible. This is only possible with the flawless creation of Omniscient and All-Powerful God. Our Almighty Lord, Who has flawlessly created the heavens, the Earth and all that lies between, has also created the human body with the most miraculous details and extraordinary co-ordination.
