Page 149 - The Miracle in the Cell

HARUN YAHYA
He is God-the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form... (Qur'an, 59:24)
This creation is so perfect that a human being is born, covered by
a layer of skin a few millimeters thick.
The noses of all human beings are approximately the same size.
These dimensions have stayed the same for thousands of years
because when the nose is forming, the cells stop dividing once they
reach a particular size. In this way no one's nose keeps growing to an
abnormal size, nor is any baby born with a nose half-developed. All
organs keep growing in harmony with each other, as God commands.
The fact that each person has a unique face is a miracle in itself.
Even though every one of the billions of people on the face of the
Earth has two ears, two eyes, two eyebrows, a nose and a mouth, all
have different faces. This perfect organization occurs differently in
each person, resulting in endless variety.
From time to time, God gives us reminders of what a great boun-
ty His perfect system is. Just a tiny change God makes in this planning
can result in major disabilities, even freaks of creation. Again by His
command, illnesses like cancer arise when cells do not stop dividing,
but keep on multiplying. One wisdom in this is that people can
remember they need to be grateful to God for everything they have. If
they fail to thank Him, they will be faced with this question: "Do you
then disbelieve in Him Who created you from dust, then from a
drop of sperm, and then formed you as a man?" (Qur'an, 18:37). And
in the Afterlife, they will receive their punishment for their denial.

Cancer

What if a cell that you cannot see with your eyes, a cell in any
organ in your body that normally lives in harmony with trillions of its
friends, suddenly starts doing something it is not meant to do?
What if this tiny cell that has performed its duty perfectly, 24
hours a day for its whole life, suddenly starts dividing when it is
