THE MIRACLE OF THE
BLOOD AND HEART

blood that the slightest imperfection can have very serious conse-
quences. 127

Blood is alive only in the body, and the body can live only
with blood. Therefore, blood must have come into being nei-
ther before nor after the body, but at exactly the same time—
in other words, together with the first living thing that pos-
sessed a circulatory system. The heart must also have come
into being at that same time, since the heart and blood vessels
cannot function haphazardly. They also need a route, so the
blood vessels must also have been laid out at that time.
In the light of evolutionists' claims, one would have to
accept that the first organisms on Earth in possession of a
blood circulatory system emerged by chance. Actually, the fos-
sil record shows that organisms with this feature emerged
during the Cambrian period, together with many other com-
plex life forms. We know that most Cambrian creatures pos-
sessed a circulatory system. In earlier fossil strata, there are
only single-celled and very simple multi-celled organisms,
and the theory of evolution has no answer to the question of
how blood circulation emerged suddenly in the Cambrian
period, with no antecedents before it. In order for the body of
a multi-celled organism to survive, all the many millions of
cells that comprise it must be kept alive one by one. Therefore,
blood vessels and a perfect distribution network linked to
every cell must have existed together in flawless form from
the moment that body began to live. Furthermore, the pres-
ence of that system is useless in the absence of respiratory
mechanisms to take on oxygen, a brain to issue direc-
tives, bone marrow to produce blood, blood vessels to
transport the blood—and in short, all the other
Harun mechanisms in the body.
