206 THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY
sults in mental retardation, problems of coordination, blindness, or even
death. Conversely, when the pressure of the fluid in the brain falls to be-
low-normal levels, this causes intense headaches, and the brain again
starts to suffer damage.
Another example of this protection is the system that meets the
brain’s requirements for blood. Since the brain controls all the processes
in the body, it therefore requires a steady supply of blood. Its blood flow
must be maintained at no matter what cost, and this vital need is met
with an extraordinary supervision. Even if the blood supply to all other
organs is cut off as a result of hemorrhaging, various nerves go into op-
eration to transmit blood to the brain, and the diameters of the blood
vessels are adjusted accordingly. Blood vessels leading to a number of
organs are temporarily shut down, and the blood flow is redirected to
those arteries leading to the brain.
Faced with these miraculous facts, evolutionists cannot offer any
consistent explanation for their claims that the brain developed gradual-
ly. They therefore expand on their fairy tale-like explanations, uttering
hints that the brain needed to be protected and that coincidence re-
sponded to that need. It’s of course impossible for unconscious coinci-
dences to determine any such need and to give rise to such an extraordi-
nary solution as a protective skull. Evolutionists who maintain that the
skull emerged by chance for protective purposes also need to explain
how it was protected until such time as the skull came into being. It is
out of question for a brain without a skull to survive or to fulfill its many
functions.
Assume that the opposite was actually the case: that according to
the evolutionary scenario, first the skull formed and then a brain formed
by chance inside it. As we know, evolution maintains that everything is
determined by needs, and that these needs are met by chance. It is im-
possible for an organ or system with no function to come into being.
That being so, chance must have seen into the future and anticipated the
brain’s delicate nature and the protective skull must therefore have
