Page 153 - The Miracle of Electricity in the Body

Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) 151

Gerald L. Schroeder describes a few of the miraculous aspects of the
phenomenon of sight:

The process of biological information transfer is a tale of awe. Consider just
one aspect of this bodily train of events. How does the brain decide that the
two-dimensional image protected onto the eyes’ retinas represents a three-
dimensional world? After all, the visual image is converted into an array
of electrical stimuli, each of which is a one dimensional pulse of voltage...
From where does it get its smarts? 82
As Schroeder emphasizes, the way that electrical impulses carry en-
coded information, and how they are then interpreted as practically
identical to their counterparts in the material world, is the product of a
superior Intellect. The mind that Schroeder refers to belongs to our Lord,
Who created us all and gave us eyes with which to see. This fact is re-
vealed in the Qur’an:
Say: “Who provides for you out of heaven and Earth? Who controls
hearing and sight? Who brings forth the living from the dead and the
dead from the living? Who directs the whole affair?” They will say,
“God.” Say, “So will you not guard against evil?” That is God, your
Lord, the Truth, and what is there after truth except misguidance? So
how have you been distracted? (Surah Yunus, 31-32)

The Transformation of Scent Molecules into Electrical
SignalS

How the sense of smell works is similar to that of our other senses.
That part of the nose that can be seen from the outside merely takes in
scent molecules in the air. Flying molecules from a rose or a spoonful of
vanilla come to receptors on vibrating micro-hairs in the region of the
nose known as the epithelium, where they set up a reaction that reaches
the brain in the form of electrical signals, which our brain then perceives
as smells.
There are astonishing systems in the transformation of the effect
caused by scent molecules into electrical energy. In the sensitive mem-
brane inside the nose are some 50 million nerve cells, each of which con-
