                we're left with a situation that uproots the logic of evolution and caus-
                es it to collapse. Evolution states that all living things partake in the
                struggle for survival. But here, certain cells are sacrificing themselves
                for a higher purpose. Not possessing consciousness, how did these
                cells come to attain such a self-sacrificing nature, which is rarely to be
                found in human beings?
                    Mankind's physical characteristics, just like everything else,
                come about through God's will and command. You owe your hand's
                existence to the cells that God ordered to die while you were still a
                fetus, and whose death resulted in the shape of your hand now (see
                Figure 7.11). The shape of a human being, his beauty, his height and all
                other characteristics that he thinks belong to him and cause him to
                boast so-all come about due to activity, caused by God, of tiny little
                cells.
                    One verse describes God's creation as follows:
