to reduce the angular reflection of
infrared (heat) and other light waves
by mimicking the fly-eye structure.
Most suitable for use in solar panel
surfaces, the fly-eye grating has also
done away with the necessity for ex-
pensive equipment to ensure that
these panels are always directly fac-
ing the Sun. 76
Only recently have space tech-
nologists discovered and imitated
this design, but flies have possessed
it for millions of years. Similar struc-
tures have recently been discovered
also on some Burgess Shale fossils,
515 million years old. Permitting
very acute and color vision, this de-
sign shows just what a superior
product of creation it really is. But
such evidence can be comprehend-
ed only by believers—those who
can use their reason to comprehend
that everything that exists is under God’s control.
One verse describes how similar proofs mean nothing to those who
deny God:
God is not ashamed to use the example of a mosquito or of an even
smaller thing. As for those who believe, they know it is the truth

from their Lord. But as for those who do not believe, they say,
“What does God mean by this example?” He misguides many by it
and guides many by it. But He only misguides the deviators.
(Qur’an, 2: 26)
