Liquid of Life

ence no such difficulty. They are flexible, and can assume
almost every configuration. Since they possess a large cell
membrane in proportion to the amount of volume they carry,
they can easily change shape. Thus even if they enter areas
where it would otherwise be difficult for them to move, their
cell membrane does not stretch and tear, as it would in other
cells. 18 This is a considerable advantage. These blood cells
which are able to flex and change shape can pass through
veins narrower than themselves.
This advantageous ability is doubtless a very special fea-
ture. God has created two such entirely different structures as
hemoglobin and the red blood cell to be compatible with one
another, and has equipped each one with features that enable
them to act together. The flattened shape of the red blood cell
is one of the most important evidence of creation. There is no
doubt but that God has the power to create the size of the red
blood cell to be able to fit through the capillary vessels.
However, the existing structure has the ideal values for the
human body. This is the work of Almighty God, Who identi-
fies and determines the states of every organism throughout
the course of its life, and Who creates it accordingly, from
nothing.

Red blood cells, capable of bend-
ing and changing shape, can reach
even the narrowest, farthest cap-
illaries in the body. At the side,
for example, are red blood cells
carrying oxygen among the
liver cells. Blood cells are
able to reach everywhere
in such vital organs,
thanks to their spe-
cial structure.
