THE MIRACLE OF THE
BLOOD AND HEART

therefore be claimed that the endothelial cells behave intelli-
gently, recognize the structure of collagen, which is very dif-
ferent from their own, and make a conscious plan to assist the
thrombocytes.
Yet these are only mere cells. They have no chemical
knowledge or laboratories with which to produce a protein
that will facilitate binding. They have no consciousness with
which to identify damage, develop measures against it and
thus preserve the body's life. These cells with their superior
features—present and ready to serve the same purpose in
every human being on Earth—cannot be the product of either
human intelligence or an imaginary process of evolution.
These can only be the work of God, Who endows all things
with order, magnificence and flawlessness. God is He Who is
sufficient to meet the needs of all things (Al-Kafi), Who sur-
rounds them (Al-Muheet) and Who has the might to perform
what He wishes, and when (Al-Qadeer). Only to Him are
thanks given, and only He is the Praiseworthy (Al-Hameed).
He is the Innovative Creator (Al-Badee'). In the Qur'an this
truth is stated thus:
The Originator of the heavens and Earth. When He decides
on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Surat al-
Baqara: 117)
To return to the thrombocytes, these special cells perform a
very important duty at the beginning of the blood coagulation
process. Every element in this mechanism is of vital impor-
tance. It is impossible to do away with any one. For example,
the absence of or deficiency in the protein VWF, which
serves to facilitate thrombocyte binding, will spell the
complete disruption of the blood clotting system.
