and reveals His wisdom in every entity He creates. This is the
truth that Darwinists are unwilling to accept.

Rational Measures in a Perfect System

The necessary precautions taken in a single process to pro-
tect the body are astonishing. Coagulation is just one feature
of the body's defense mechanism. The endeavors of the thou-
sands of cells that go into action to take precautionary mea-
sures are truly amazing.
If a clot has formed anywhere on your body, it soon begins
puckering. The reason is that the clot starts contracting one or
two minutes after it forms, and that the fluid within it departs
in 30 to 60 minutes. This puckering does not happen at ran-
dom, and the coagulation in your body is an example of the
perfectly rational precautions taken by the cells.
The cells that go into operation during wound puckering
are, again, the thrombocytes. In order for this to take place,
thrombocytes release the contractile proteins we have already
referred to. The puckering clot pulls together the torn edges of
the veins and lets them fuse together again more quickly,
assisting with the acceleration of coagulation. When thrombo-
cytes go into action once more, they cling to the connections of
the clot fibrins that form so as to reinforce these fibers. At the
same time, they fix the diagonal bonds between the fibrins
with a substance they release. 66
For various reasons, the blood only coagulates over the
wound site. When you consider capillaries just nine
thousandths of a millimeter thick, you can clearly
