He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the Earth belongs. He
does not have a son and He has no partner in the Kingdom. He created
everything and determined it most exactly. (Surat al-Furqan: 2)
In another verse, He informs us that all things are under His con-
trol:

[Hud said,] "I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There
is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is on a
Straight Path." (Surah Hud: 56)

Allah is He Who creates all entities, Who gives them the most per-
fect form and keeps them constantly under His control. Allah has en-
dowed them with amazing features and matchless forms. Those who
ignore this fact have no other alternative explanation to offer, however.
To claim that these things are all a matter of chance, or to seek to por-
tray them as miracles of so-called evolution, will not alter this truth in
the slightest. Those who make such claims are clearly aware of the ex-
traordinary state of affairs that confronts them. Chance cannot give rise
to a living thing, nor can it give rise to a single living cell, a single en-
zyme within that cell, nor the chain reaction carried out by that en-
zyme. Allah creates all of these, and the work of each one displays His

greatness and the perfection in His creations.

Both enzymes and hormones are proteins, both encoded by DNA.
Both fit their targets like a key fits a lock, and their shapes are of great
importance in terms of their functions. However, hormones are infor-
mational molecules, manufactured in various regions of the body and
forwarded to other regions by being released into the bloodstream. In
this way, they signal for events to take place in far distant parts of the
body. Growth hormone, for instance, sends out the necessary signals
for cell division and bone growth. It has its effect only on cells that have
