Hormones

Multicellular organisms like animals and humans are composed
of cells that have different structures and functions. The body depends
on these cells' complex yet highly cooperative functions. The 100 tril-
lion cells in the human body work together as if they all know each
other. To the end, they carry out the functions assigned to them with-
out any neglect or laziness. And within this perfect coordination are
messenger chemicals called hormones, whose function is to carry
orders between cells. The growth and internal balance of the body,
control of reproduction, coordination of the nervous system, and
many other processes are realized because of the messages carried by
hormones to the relevant cells. Without you even knowing it, a superb
command system is at work, as an unseen intelligence sends its orders
to cells throughout your body (See Figure 5.6).
This superior intelligence keeps everything under control with-
out you even knowing it. You do not have any say in this system. For
instance, you cannot make your body grow as much as you want, no
matter how much you may wish so. Whatever you do, you cannot
order your cells to divide, multiply and make you grow. Only your
cells know the pre-determined
height and shape for your body.
They will multiply until they
reach that target and then stop
growing, at just the right time.
Cells cannot, of course, carry
these out through their own intel-
ligence and will. God inspires this
flawless chain of commands in
them and enables them to carry
out their duties to perfection.
