HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

vior the butterfly absorbs as little heat through the

wings as possible and its body temperature decreases.

Besides that, this butterfly species has small dark spots on its
wings. These spots, the function of which is to maintain a higher

body temperature, are not located just anywhere. They are close to
the points that most need to be warm. As a result of this particular

creation, heat transmission from these spots, which warm up
quickly, to other parts of the body is facilitated since the distance

that needs to be covered to transmit heat is shortened.

Another butterfly species employs a similar method to increase its

body temperature. You all know what a lens is. Some are used to
produce enlarged images whereas some others are used to produ-

ce smaller images of objects. For example glasses consist of a pair
of lenses. Beside this function, a lens angled correctly toward the

sun can concentrate the sun's rays on a certain spot. Using this met-
hod it is possible even to light a fire. The pieris, another butterfly

species, angles its wings toward the sun so that all rays are concen-
trated on certain parts of its body that most need to be warm, in a

similar way as a lens functions.

These butterflies have certainly not been trained in physics or any
other field. They cannot know about the features of a lens. They do

not know which angle would receive the greatest amount of heat.
Allah, Who watches over and protects all things, inspires in butterf-

lies what they should do to regulate their body temperature. As
Allah reminds us in the Qur’an:

… Allah is watchful over all things. (Surat al-Ahzab: 52)
