               Turkish evolutionist, is highly enlightening:
                    The heart of the problem is how the mitochondria have acquired this
                    feature (that is, of using oxygen to produce energy), because attaining
                    this feature by chance even by one individual, requires extreme proba-
                    bilities that are incomprehensible... The enzymes providing respiration
                    and functioning as a catalyst in each step in a different form make up
                    the core of the mechanism. A cell has to contain this enzyme sequence
                    completely, otherwise it is meaningless. Here, despite being contrary to
                    biological thought, in order to avoid a more dogmatic explanation or
                    speculation, we have to accept, though reluctantly, that all the respira-
                    tion enzymes completely existed in the cell before the cell first came in
                    contact with oxygen. 14
                    This extract is one example of the damage inflicted on evolu-
               tionary logic. Despite all these facts and even though evolutionists
               refuse to admit it, this situation has only one explanation:
               Mitochondria were created by a Possessor of intelligence that knows
               the human body and the vegetable kingdom in the greatest detail. In
               other words, the power that created the mitochondria is God, "Who
               encompasses all things in His knowledge" (Qur'an, 6:80). Another
               verse stresses the same truth in the following manner: "What! Does
               He not encompass all things?" (Qur'an, 41:54)
