80 THE PERFECT DESIGN IN THE UNIVERSE IS NOT BY CHANCE
When various atoms come together within a plant, they form
complex molecules that produce their beautiful smells. And for
plants all over the world, this process is the same. If there were the
slightest variation in these compounds, for instance; if there were a
difference in the atomic number of one atom, either the scent would
completely change or be destroyed. But the formula never fails; the
smell production laboratory in the plant never makes a mistake.
Thanks to this ongoing perfection, flowers of the same species every-
where have the identically same smell.
The production of a scent is a very delicate matter, in the course
of which molecules are assembled with very complex structures.
For example, it requires between three and ten different compounds
