                    The equation for finding the shortest distance between two

                    For most people, these complex mathematical formulae have
                no meaning. But the black-winged stilt can fly without losing its
                way, due to its ability to determine the route arrived at through
                similar calculations.
                    Undoubtedly it is not a result of coincidence that a bird is
                programmed to fly on such a calculated route. Possession of this

                extremely complex knowledge points not to coincidence, but to
                creation. In a verse of the Qur’an, God says this of those who try to
                prove the contrary:
                    [Hud said:]"… Do you argue with me regarding names
                    which you and your forefathers invented and for which
                    God has sent down no authority? Wait, then; I am waiting
                    with you." (Qur’an, 7:71)
