HARUN YAHYA
The Amazing Harmony of Development

Another miracle we can observe during fetal development is
proportional growth-for organs to grow at the same time, at the same
rate.
Each organ has a particular size. In order to attain to this exact
size, nothing more or less, timing needs to be adjusted very carefully.
Paired organs like hands, feet, ears, and eyes need to start forming
and stop growing at the same time, so they will have reached the same
size at the end of their development. In the same way, in order for any
organ to be symmetrical, its cells need to move in synchrony with
each other at the correct time.
What would happen if this didn't occur? Consider two organs
growing at different rates, independently of each other. Imagine the
result if, for instance, the brain grew at a much faster rate than the
skull surrounding it. The skull, not expanded to a sufficient capacity,
would squeeze the brain, leading to the death of the baby. Or else the
brain will continue growing and distort the skull, leading to the dam-
age of both. Or if the skin develops much more slowly than the body's
framework, the skeleton and appendages continuing to develop at
greater speed will stretch the skin until it tears. We can give many
examples, from the harmonious development of the cell membrane
and the cell organelles to the balanced growth of the skeleton and
internal organs...
Never forget that all these mishaps would be the natural results
of coincidental growth. In other words, if human beings develop in the
womb by coincidence, there's no reason why such fatal accidents
should not occur. The only reason they don't, why we come to the
world as healthy human beings, is because God has created us in a
controlled manner. The Qur'an speaks about the creation of human
beings:
God brought you out of your mothers wombs knowing nothing at all,
