EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE TRUTH?
But the problem is eliminated for the gnat. Before the gnat
starts sucking blood, it injects a special liquid secreted in its body
into the cleavage opened in the living being it has stung. This liq-
uid neutralises the enzyme that causes the clotting of blood.
Thus, the gnat sucks the blood it needs without the problem of
clotting. The itching and swelling formed on the spot bitten by
the gnat is caused by this liquid that prevents clotting.
This is surely an extraordinary process and it brings the fol-
lowing questions to mind:
1) How does the gnat know that there is a clotting enzyme in
the human body?
2) In order to produce a neutralising secretion in its own
body against that enzyme, it needs to know the chemical struc-
ture of the enzyme. How could this be possible?
3) Even if it somehow attained such knowledge (!), how
could it produce the secretion in its own body and make the
"technical rigging" needed to transfer it to its proboscis?
The answer to all these questions is obvious: it is not possi-
ble for the gnat to perform any of the above. It neither has the re-
quired wisdom, knowledge of chemistry, or the "laboratory"
environment to produce the secretion. What we talk about here
is only a gnat of a few millimetres in length, without conscious-
ness or wisdom, that is all!
It is quite clear that Allah, "Lord of the heavens and of the
earth, and of all that is between them", has created both the gnat
and man, and donated such extraordinary and marvellous fea-
tures to the gnat.
