Page 15 - The Miracles of Smell and Taste

13

Medical and biological textbooks on the subject tell us that we owe
our perceptions of smell and taste to our noses, tongues and brains. It is
true, of course that we perceive flavors and odors by means of these or-
gans. Yet another point here is ignored, whether consciously or otherwise.

The question that’s generally overlooked and that really needs to be an-
swered is this: To whom do we owe the existence of our noses, tongues
and brains?
Most people think that it is sufficient to know that they smell with
their noses and taste with their tongues, and are not concerned with the
intricate details. Yet this is a serious mistake to make. Taste and smell are
inseparable, essential elements of everyone’s life, and it is terribly heed-
less for anyone aware of that to ignore the significant details that these
senses present.
No doubt we owe these wonderful blessings, as we do absolutely ev-
erything else, to God, the Lord of the worlds. When we examine the sys-
tems of taste and smell, you can see how these flawless mechanisms con-
stitute astonishing proofs of creation. The aim of this book is to set out the
proofs of creation in these systems, to help you consider God’s limitless

might and knowledge, and properly comprehend the innumerable bless-
ings bestowed on us by our Lord. At the same time, we will yet again
demonstrate the irrational and illogical nature of the theory of evolution,
which maintains that all these marvelous systems are merely the product
of chance.
The flawlessness in God’s creation is described with these terms in
the Qur’an:
He is God—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong
the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glori-
fies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr: 24)
