Page 13 - The Miracle in the Cell

HARUN YAHYA

he subject of this book is the cell, the building
block of the human body and of every
species of plants and animals. Most people
would say that this topic belongs to the
realm of biology or even chemistry, reason-
ing that any treatise about the human cell could
only be a biology or a chemistry textbook. However, the book
you hold in your hands is no textbook. Its aim is neither to increase
your scientific knowledge, nor teach you biology in detail, because by
itself, increased biological knowledge of the cell is of no benefit. And
besides, most of the details are taught to students while at school-
though most of them forget it all soon after, never to remember it
again. Why? Because this type of biological information about the cell
is presented to students in a completely wrong logical context.
In fact, young people are infected with this twisted logic right
from the beginning of their lives. As soon as a young child starts to
observe the world around him, he's amazed at everything he sees and
begins to ask questions. Looking at the Sun, he is awestruck. "How,"
he asks, "can such a vast ball of fire can stay up there in space, just the
right distance away to produce just enough heat and light for human
beings on Earth? Who put the Sun there? And how? And why?"
But in response to this and other similar questions, the answer
that the child will probably receive is, "The Sun is a perfectly normal
star, and it's been there for billions of years. Moreover, nobody placed
it there. It appeared by chance as a result of a big explosion that took
place, and the Earth-again by coincidence-formed in just the right
spot for human life to exist."
But if this same child was raised in a knowledgeable society pos-
sessed of a conscience, the answer he received would be quite differ-
ent: "That the Sun gives us heat and light is a manifestation of God's
