then used it. Likewise, the cell, DNA and the RNAs in it, and the human
            being made up of these cells are nothing but the works of the One who
            created them as well as what they do. No matter how perfect, complete
            and striking the work is, the wisdom always lies with the owner of the
            work.
                 If you saw one meaningful sentence in your notebook on the table,
            you would be curious to know who wrote it. You would never think that
            the notebook and the pen or the ink came together with the effect of the
            wind and wrote this sentence. In DNA, we are talking about billions of
            pieces of information each of which is crucial for a human being.
                 So, why don't we ask the same question about the cell? If the
            information in the notebook or the computer was written by someone,
            then who "wrote" DNA, which has a far superior and more advanced
            technology, is designed in the most perfect manner, created, and placed in
            the tiny cell, which, by itself, is another miracle? Besides, to date it has not
            lost any of the properties which it has had for thousands of years. What
            can be more important for you than to question by whom and why these
            cells, that function non-stop so that you may read these lines, see, breathe,
            think, in brief, exist and continue to exist, have been brought into being?
                 Is not the answer to this question that which, in life, you must
            wonder about most? One sees great design, planning and order, from the
            sun in the sky to the DNA in one's body. To think that any of these things

            could be the work of chance is an unacceptable claim, one that is
            impossible to take seriously.


                 No Design Can Happen by Chance
                 You must have seen the name of a building spelt out in flowers on
            the ground in front of it. Looking down at them or from far away, you can
            immediately make out the name of the building or company concerned.
            That is a sign that the flowers are not there by chance, that they have been
            set out by gardeners and landscape designers. You may not see the
            gardeners actually doing it, but you can see that it has happened from the
            name the flowers spell out.
