Page 39 - Allah's Artistry in Colour

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar 37

The reason for
colour diversity in
the leaves of flow-
ers is the reaction
to light of pigment
molecules present
in their structure.

The question is: how do these special
molecules develop in the skins of living
beings? We can give an answer to this ques-
tion by asking some further questions. Have
living beings come to possess these colours
by acknowledging the properties of a special
light spectrum reaching the earth and choos-
ing special pigment molecules accordingly?
Certainly the possibility of the occurrence of such a coincidence is zero. These
specific molecules have been placed in the skin of living beings by conscious
design. It is obvious that neither could living beings carry out such a process,
nor could random coincidence bring about such a formation. The harmony
in question is one, which could only come about because of One Who Wills
creating it, One Who keeps everything under control. Allah has created each
living being with very sophisticated characteristics peculiar to it. Everything,
animate or inanimate, has pigments suitable to it. Pigments absorb light
selectively according to their molecular structure. Every pigment does not
react to light in the same way. For this reason, it cannot set off the same
chemical reaction and form the same colour.
We can give chlorophyll, the pigment molecule that causes plants to
look green, as an example. These pigments absorb certain wavelengths com-
ing from the sun and reflect light having the wavelength that corresponds to
