intestinal cavity at the back. The stomach has double sacs or ventri-
cles that serve partly as food storage organs, and allow some mites
to survive for long periods without eating.
The mite also possesses excretory organs that can open off the
rear intestine. These collect waste products in the body cavity and
transmit it into an organic compound known as guanine. This pas-
sage as far as the excretory organs takes place in a manner familiar

to us: Blood circulation. The blood flows through the mite's body by
means of its heart and the movement of various muscles. 105
Mites also have reproductive organs, of course. Sperm transfer
either takes place directly or inside packages known as spermato-
phores, by means of which the male deposits its sperm directly into
the female's genital organ. Some males produce a small packet for
their sperm, which they pass on to the female genital area, either di-

rectly from the male's mouth region or indirectly through a sedi-
ment on the surface. 106 Shortly afterward, the female lays her ferti-
lized eggs.
Inside the body of this creature, Allah has placed very wide-
ranging, diverse and complex organs. Each has been carefully con-
nected to the next, and systems essential to this entity's survival has
been created flawlessly in its microscopic body. Could the imagi-
nary mechanisms of evolution give rise to just one of these mites di-
gestive or nervous system? For such an irreducibly complex sys-

tem, it is of course impossible. Every detail in the tiny mite again HARUN YAHYA
deals a fatal blow to the theory of evolution.
Perhaps we should now be considering the following question:
Should we be surprised at the bodily systems of a microorganism,
at the heart that pumps blood or the brain, which consists of nerve (ADNAN OKTAR)
