son making that claim. From the code-receptor mechanism in the brain to
the wide variety of its receptors, the sense of taste is so complex that ev-
ery component is clearly the product of a special design. Furthermore, the
taste system’s ideal structure, the perfect and flawless way it functions,

are plain for everyone to see. Bearing these facts in mind, it’s not hard to
understand that there can be no random and uncontrolled intervention at
work here. No random phenomenon can give unconscious molecules the
ability to perceive what is eaten or smelled. No coincidence can create a
harmonious geometric design for molecules that remain unaware of one
another. It cannot make the harmony among them significant, in the way
that a cake or an orange is. No coincidence can assume that information
from molecules reaching the tongue needs to be transmitted direct-
ly to the brain.

No coincidence can give rise to the tongue, with its flawless crea-
tion, taste molecules ideally adapted to the structure of the tongue,
or the taste cells. Like all the other senses, the sense of taste is one
of God’s miracles.
