ria and other microbes (See Figure 6.10). Once they have been cap-
tured, they're taken in by the membrane and swallowed by the cell.
During this time of struggle, the cell membrane recognizes, captures
and engulfs the enemy. The cell then digests it and uses the resulting
substances in ways useful for the cell. Sometimes, special cells attach
to a foreign substance and render it inactive, marking it for attack by
fighter cells. Obviously, the stages of this war are not as simple as
related here. At every stage, an organization is at work using such
"intelligence" techniques as receiving, evaluating, and storing infor-
mation.
This utterly complex war mechanism cannot be reproduced by
even the latest human technology. It's been working for thousands of
years and keeps doing so with the same perfection. In that case, what
should we conclude? Is the cell membrane-a large part of which is
made up of fatty molecules and which can hardly be seen with a
microscope-more intelligent than man, who claims to be the most
superior and intelligent of all creatures? Or has this membrane been
inspired with a much more superior intelligence? This is the truth, and
anyone who claims otherwise must accept that the cell's brain is supe-
rior to his own.
Some people attribute all of this to the brain, stating, "The brain
sends the commands. The brain controls everything." With this con-
clusion, they think they have solved a great mystery with this simple
logic. Comfortable with their answer for the time being, they feel no
need to think about the rest. But their squashed conscience begins to
feel a little uncomfortable. If they delve deeper, they know that they
will be faced with questions they won't be able to answer: Doesn't the
organ called the brain arise from the same cells? Do the commands
given by the brain arise from decisions made by an assortment of
microscopic fat and protein molecules? If so, which cells of the brain
give these orders? Or do a certain portion come together to make deci-
sions? How do these brainless, unconscious cells suddenly gain the
