THE MIRACLE OF THE
BLOOD AND HEART

Many other proofs of the incomparable intelligence are dis-
played within a single cell. For example, no matter how much
foreign agents conceal themselves inside the cell, a defense sys-
tem in the body identifies that hiding place. After the bacterium
has entered the macrophage, a special molecule inside the latter
takes a part of the bacterium and carries it to the surface of the
cell. The helper T-cells recognize this combination in front of
them and release a substance that allows the macrophage to
realize that there is a foreign body inside it. After its location is
established, the enemy can then easily be destroyed.
Enemies that enter other cells of the body are located by
killer T-cells and also destroyed. Special molecules inside the
cell report that an enemy has installed itself in the cell. Killer
T-cells strike the virus and completely destroy the cell inside
which the virus was hiding. 50 This actually represents a kind
of self-sacrifice on the part of the cell inside which the virus
installed itself. It risks being destroyed by the killer T-cells for
the sake of defending the body as a whole.
On close inspection, no single stage in any of these
processes is random or left to chance. Indeed, the phenomena
observed are indications of a superior consciousness that one
would never expect from a minute cell. All this activity
described here is actually combat between single-celled organ-
isms just a few microns in size, in areas of just millimeters.
Since we cannot expect a cell with no decision-making mech-
anisms to wield intelligence, and since we cannot ascribe the
conscious processes performed to its own abilities, then we
clearly need to direct our amazement to the sole pos-
sessor of that intelligence—Almighty and
Omniscient God, the Creator of all.
