Conclusion
Throughout this site we have learned how 100 trillion
cells are individually controlled and directed by tiny,
unconscious molecules, and we have seen how these molecules
we call hormones establish their control over cells.
We have examined the communication network among cells
and we have seen how two cells, far distant from each
other and without eyes or ears, can communicate with
each other. And we have seen that the wonders operating
deep in the human body are striking examples of God's
creative artistry.
As you examined the intricacies of these wonders, the
miraculous operations you were reading about continued
to occur in the depths of your body. Throughout the
time while you were reading this site, unconscious cells
in your body were demonstrating their highly intelligent
behavior.
For example, some cells measured the amount of fluid
in your blood.
Other cells measured the amount of sugar in your blood
numerous times, and thousands of your cells worked independently
to balance that amount.
Some cells ensured that your bones mixed the proper
amount calcium into your blood. In some cases, a contrary
operation took place, and the excess calcium in your
blood was returned to the bones.
New skin cells were constructed to replace dying ones.
To do this, some cells were caused to divide and multiply.
In order to adjust your body temperature, trillions
of cells functioned as micro-heaters. The speed at which
each cell functioned was supervised and controlled individually.
Cells determined the amount of sodium in your blood,
and the required amount was supplied by special mechanisms.
Cells measured your blood pressure to prevent it from
rising or falling to a dangerous level and worked day
and night to take the appropriate adjustment measures.
The muscle cells around your blood vessels sometimes
contracted to narrow them and sometimes relaxed to dilate
them.
Some cells in your kidneys took either fluid or sodium
molecules from the urine and mixed them with your blood…
And thousands of operations like these were carried
out by means of your hormones.
In short, in order to allow you to survive, every point
in your body was controlled individually, deficiencies
were removed, and order was ensured. As you read this
site about hormones, hormone molecules ensured the operation
of all these wonderful functions in your body.
At this point, there is an important duty that becomes
incumbent on a person: the duty to think.
Everything in the heavens and on Earth is a proof of
the existence of God, and thinking is the only way to
see these proofs properly.
Thinking about created things draws us closer to God
and enables us to better appreciate His power, and thinking
is the vehicle by which our awareness of God is increased.
The Qur'an reveals that the wonders of God are found
on Earth and in the heavens and describes the attitude
of faithful people to these wonders.
In the creation of the heavens and
the Earth, and the alternation of night and day, there
are Signs for people with intelligence: those who remember
God, standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and
reflect on the creation of the heavens and the Earth
[saying]: "Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing.
Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment
of the Fire." (Qur'an, 3: 190-191)
The hormone system that operates in the depths of a
person's body without his knowing it is a demonstration
of God's marvelous signs. For this reason, it would
certainly be a great mistake to look at the topics treated
in this site only from a biological point of view.
Thinking about the wonders happening in our own bodies,
reflecting on how they all occur and how the existing
systems came to be will draw us closer to God.
There is another important conclusion to be drawn from
studying the hormone system: thinking about this system
will make a person more conscious of the unjust fabrications
against the existence of God by the theory of evolution
that denies His existence. The hormone system is an
integrated whole made up of sub-systems; if one part
of it does not function, the entire system will fail.
It is clear from this that the claim of the evolutionists
that this system came to be by chance is a fairy tale.
The person who reads this site has another duty: to
do all he can to share with other people the wonders
of creation he has come to understand and to tell everyone
around him, sincerely, enthusiastically and from the
heart, about the artistry that God has displayed. Only
in this way will this site attain its purpose: to communicate
to as many people as possible the intricacies of God's
creative artistry. |
