Intelligent Design -Talented Liver Cells
Each liver cell carries out
some 500 different chemical processes. Somehow, they are aware of each activity
taking place in the body’s circulatory, digestive, excretory, and other
systems. Due to these tasks that they perform, each cell is the site of intense
and continuous activity.
If any part of the liver is
damaged or extracted, its cells immediately switch to a new function—high-speed
multiplication—to repair the affected
part. As a result of the cells’ extraordinary abilities, the liver is the only
bodily organ that can reconstitute itself. When the liver regains its normal
size and is fixed, the cells suddenly cease this activity.
There is no difference between
liver cells and those in your finger tips, for both sets carry exactly the same
information. What makes them different is what part of that information they
use. A single cell, invisible to the naked eye, knows that the reproduction
process has to begin and so begins copying itself. When it learns that the
regeneration process has been completed, it and all other cells stop this
activity in a perfectly orderly manner that betrays no haphazardness. During
reproduction, no cell decides to postpone the other functions and thereby cause
interruptions in the system. No new copied cell is told what to do.
Nonetheless, every new cell unhesitatingly begins its work inside the liver.
This wide-ranging system does
not belong to human beings. Evolutionists, however, must first account for how
a single liver cell came into existence if they are to defend their claims that
this complex system is the result of chance. That they have been unable to do
so is hardly surprising, for only the Omniscient Allah Who creates all living
things and their cells, and Who controls and supervises them at every moment,
can perform such a miracle. This miraculous system is the work of Almighty
Allah, Who remains unchanging, Omniscient, and All-powerful:
O humanity, if
you are in any doubt about the Rising, know that We created you from dust then
from a drop of sperm, then from a clot of blood, then from a lump of flesh,
formed yet unformed, so that We may make things clear to you. (Surat al-Hajj,
5)
الله سبحانه وتعالى
