Page 21 - The Miracle of Electricity in the Body

Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) 19

thoughts travels inside nerve extensions, encoded in the form of electri-
cal stimuli, in a wave state. Although these many electrical signals con-
stantly coming and going throughout the body are all identical, they re-
veal to us a world full of myriad colors and rich details. 3
Our nerves also permit us to obtain information about the world
around us, to react quickly to changes, and also let various regions of the
body function as a single entity. They also transmit orders from the
brain, the body’s command center—so that essentially, nerves are high-
ways that transmit the data that keeps our bodies alive and healthy.
Departing from the brain and spinal column, they extend to all parts of
the body including the skin, muscles, sensory organs, even the teeth and
the interior of the bones.
If the nerves extended to everywhere in your body apart from your
right hand, what would happen? First off, your hand would have no
sensations. You would not feel a knife that cut your finger, and would
be unable to perform any tasks for which you normally use that hand.
You could not have your fingers grip a cup, hold a pencil, open a door,
or comb your hair. In short, your hand would be just a quantity of living
flesh and bone.
But the existence of nerves alone is not sufficient for a healthy life.
They must also have to reach all parts of the body and be able to com-
municate with one another. It is impossible for how the nerves interpen-
etrate the entire body and control all its flawless systems to have come
about simply by chance.
Despite the many opportunities provided by present-day technolo-
gies, scientists have been unable to produce anything resembling the
cell. Evolutionists maintain that a cell, of its own accord, flawlessly ful-
fills responsibilities that human beings are unable to replicate. But that
claim is incompatible with logic and reason. Clearly, the nervous system
enfolds and manages our entire bodies and even engages in conscious
activities. However, this superior consciousness that astonishes scien-
tists cannot belong to cells—mere collections of organelles and their un-
M
conscious atoms. This consciousness belongs to God, the Maker of all.
