116 ALLAH'S ART OF DETAIL

The Perfect Detail in Message-Transmitting Cells

The brain’s flawless system is, by itself, sufficient for us to real-

ize His sublimity. As we stated above, it contains more than 100 bil-
lion nerve cells. In order for us to perceive, see, and feel our sur-
1
roundings, communication has to be established among these 100
billion nerve cells. This is done by somehow making a total of 100
trillion connections.
The means by which this astonishing level of communication is
established are exceedingly effective. A special fluid located be-
tween the nerve cells contains certain highly specialized chemical
enzymes that make electron transport possible. When the electrical
signal reaches a nerve ending, electrons are loaded onto these en-
zymes and then transmitted to other nerves by floating through the
fluid between the nerves. The electrical current thus continues to
flow by passing on to the next cell. This process takes place in mi-
croseconds and with no interruption in the electrical current.

If one of these enzymes fails to perform its function, the transmit-
ted message cannot reach the brain. In other words, although you
were looking at your hand, its image would fail to reach your brain.
The brain’s 100 billion cells com-
municate via 100 trillion connec-
tions. By His will, these connec-
tions take place by means of vari-
ous electron-bearing enzymes.
