(Figure 1.12). The
iris controls the
amount of light en-

of light entering
the eye. In dimmer
light, the pupil ex-
pands (b) to allow
more light to enter. a
Thanks to a com-
plex and advanced
system, the
amount of light en-
tering the eye is
calculated and the
pupil size adjusted,
in a tenth of a sec-

possible that a col-
lection of atoms
came together co-
incidentally to cre-
ate such a perfect
system? b

in detail, this link can be seen for the miracle it really is.
The measurement of outside light intensity, the immediate relay of sig-
nals to brain, and the brain's consequent adjustment of the iris muscles to
regulate the light entering the eye is a complicated process which is amaz-
ingly conducted in the brain of every person who has ever lived, with the ex-
ception of the congenitally blind. This is nothing short of a miracle, and a
way for us to comprehend our Creator's power and knowledge and realize
