THE MIRACLE OF HORMONES



                   Who has placed the receptors in the mother's breast?
                   Who provided the cables to carry the signals sent by these receptors?
                   Who attached the ends of these cables to the hypothalamus?
                   Who taught the cells of the hypothalamus that they must stimulate
              the pituitary gland when these signals come?
                   Who wrote the formula for activating the milk glands in the cells
              that make up the pituitary gland?
                   Who created the circulatory system to ensure that this hormone
              reaches the mother's breast from the pituitary gland in the brain?
                   Who created the breast cells in such a way as to become activated
              when this hormone comes?
                   Who taught the breast cells the unique formula of mother's milk, a
              formula which even yet scientists cannot reproduce?
                   To all these questions there is only one answer: Almighty God, the
              Lord of all the worlds.
                   Thanks to scientific and technical advances, it is possible for hu-
              mans to examine the human body more carefully. This possibility shows
              the degree of intelligence and planning with which the systems in the
              human body were created and reveals the creative artistry of God.
                   For those who reject the existence of God, there is, as always, only
              one delusion in which they can take refuge—time and chance.
                   These people accept only chance and the outworking of natural law
              as the origins of the plan and artistry displayed in living things and in
              the universe as a whole. But what we have explained above in superficial
              detail about mother's milk is enough to show the meaninglessness of this
              claim.
                   It is scientifically impossible that any one of the thousands of differ-
              ent elements in this system, for example, the breast, the pituitary gland, a
              nerve or a cell of the hypothalamus or even a single hormone could have
              come to be by evolution. It is necessary that each element of this system,
              together with the ancillary systems needed to ensure survival (for exam-
              ple, the circulatory and respiratory systems), come into existence sud-
